Another awesome video from one of CZcams’s best watch-based content creators. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Superb use of a compound adjective. 👍
So true!!
In our local forums the new no date and date subs are going for around 50-55% over list and the coloured OPs are going for 110% for the green, 200% for the red and yellow and for the Tiffany 250-300% over MSRP. Who would have ever thought this would be the case????
And candy pink?
seems crazy just for a dial colour but regularly seeing Tiffany dial going for 300% now
@@RayRay79 only in 31 and 36 I think which has likely held price back.
Same movement in the OP as the SUB
will they ever cost 5500€ again? the all want 13k 🥺😔
Probably the best non brand sponsored creator here. Thanks for your time hafiz.
Just woke up after surgery in hospital, happy to see another of your videos 😁
Thanks so much. Have a speedy recovery from the surgery.
@@HafizJMehmood Thank you!
Good watch at RRP. But local flippers are selling it at around US$15,000 (for the baby blue dial) in my country. LOL. Absolutely not worth it at that price.
Nothing is worth in the hyper inflated resale market...nuts
Fully agree! Absolutelt not...
Saw the OP yellow 31 mm in person. The color is spectacular matte mustard yellowish. It draws you in and I was not able to take my eyes off of it. Initially just wanted to look at it for fun but ended up purchasing it as a gift for my mom. Now I’m waiting for a 41 mm to come in at some point. Also had the opportunity to look at the turquoise as well and personally the yellow is my favorite. Great vid here but seeing these OPs in person makes a huge difference.
Great video. At this price point, you also have GS, Omega, JLC, Tudor, Zenith, Panerai, IWC and Bell & Ross, to name a few. There’s a LOT of terrific competition out there and it would take me a long time to make a decision in this price/style bracket. But I confess: this OP41 has the inside track,
The photography here is beautiful. The real life version is stunning and this video captures it
Brilliant! You changed my mind about the OP 41, it's great after all 👍thank you.
this is the best channel for watches review period, I regret I didn't found it earlier
Yellow works so well on certain watches. Best yellow dial I've seen has to be the Breitling Seawolf, especially the earlier version with red accents. I can't believe we had to wait for Rolex to release a yellow dial OP for the trend to truly come alive but this is the world we live in, I suppose. Anyway - great shots as always, Hafiz, real pleasure to watch!
Funny, I bought the Seawolf in steel with yellow dial in 2012. After 6 months, I still hadn't found a time to wear it, so I let it go. Back in Nov 2020, my local AD called me for the yellow OP41. I bought it to give yellow another chance, but again I had to let it go. I think yellow is too difficult to wear for me, too jarring. I have to admit the OP41 looks great on pictures, just not on my wrist.
Love how you say “controversial”
Would love to see the GO Panomaticlunar on your channel, it deserves a review of your caliber. Cheers and keep up the great content.
Beautiful watch, great review! I am still looking for the 41 green dial at reasonable price but all are selling almost 2x of retail price. 😅
The yellow OP is amaaazziiing. Love mine.
This guy’s seductive voice can put an insomniac to bed
I love the Rolex tapered bracelet!
I love your content, it's honestly the best of the best. And you're a very smart dresser...may I offer a humble advice...? You should really start wearing belts, no outfit is complete without them (especially when tucking your shirts in). I work in fashion and it always hit my eye wrong, when seeing your 'from a distance' shots, with a nice outfit but no belt to tie it together ... No criticism at all, just my humble advice! Genuinely enjoy your content... Keep it up
Interesting piece. Regards.
Love they’ve sorted the QC. Finally.
That 41 looks good on you bro
Great video, Hafiz, thank you. Good looking watch, I'm too conservative to wear that dial color, but would look great on someone else. Glad to see attention to detail is there.
I wanted OP41 tiffany dial so much but after watching this outstanding video I think I'll go for yellow dial, Guys I'm struggling :(
Great review Hafiz, love the colour,
Have Tiffany blue 41 on order
41mm is just too big for an all dial watch. What next a 43mm OP? The perfect size for these time only watches is 38mm.
This is actually a 39mm watch - so nearly perfect for you
I’m surprised that the OP41 looks so good on your 6.5inch wrist. I tried the Explorer 1 and it felt like a saucer on my 6.5inch wrist. Ended up going for the OP36.
Sounds like you're just telling yourself you have a 6.5inch wrist
Great video!! I keep watching it to help decide whether 36 or 41 would be better (since we have the same wrist size). Have there been any difficulty getting the new Colored OPs in ADs today?
The main offers of the colorful OPs are its colors (red, green, yellow, T blue), and 41mm is the right size to show them.
Amazing video as usual. I suggest you tu wear a belt for you shots, it complete the look!
Nice to see the quality is better than the other one you reviewed
I crave mango
I used to have a yellow dialed Luminox watch, I absolutely loved the color
Looking through macro lens can only lead to heartache. Great review!!!
Amazong video!! Op41 in yellow 😍 thank you for your work in this video👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
you could wear that yellow with a blue suit, or any color suit if you had some yellow in your tie as well.
are the 41s hit or miss in their quality control?
Only just realised you're a mod for AWBSS. I knew i recognised the name haha.
Super presentation, Hafiz. Class.
HJM - yet another great, descriptive ROLEX narrative. the close ups - intense & enlightening . be safe ~ JDS/CT
Haha when I saw these colour op I was like what the x is this? Then like,, Im so glad I bought the white dial before it was discontinued.
a super model! his body and cleany optic is perfect 😍
Can’t wait for your videos on the 2021 models. Especially the explorers
I remembered when this colorful OP released, many people mocking it and didn't think it will sell well. Now, it is price sky rocket in grey market and difficult to get 😅😅😅
you RRR one hell of a speaker , better with your words than i will ever be
Beautiful video man and the watch looks amazing!
Absolutely loved your video !!! Subscribed !!!
Top job, Hafiz. Keep it coming mate.
I signed up for this one when it first came out.... “oh yes 4-6months no problem at all sir”. I suspect it will now never arrive.....
I wish that Rolex AD’s would just be honest with people instead of giving them false hope, often for years, that they will receive a requested watch 😟
I got a green dialled 41mm after about 6-7 weeks???
@@andrewgiblin3468 Great choice and would have been my pick for versatility 👍
Hah. I think they were being earnest when they told you that. At that time they probably hasn't realized that these color dial would skyrocket in popularity. When it (immediately) did, well, they have to play the "bundling" game.
@@TAdamRox yep exactly what I was going to respond to someone else. It’s only for the wife anyway - so no stress..... just saves me 4K or whatever.
It's a sporty watch. Doesnt need to look dainty
Amazing camera work
Cool made video! Thank you very much!
what is the height of end link to end link ?
another Great vid Hafiz Thanks
I can not WAIT to get my hands on one
Best Watch detailing Videos on CZcams. Please make a Video in details about the 116900 Airking :)
It looks good but I wish it was smaller, that way the yellow dial isn't SO noticeable
Great photography!
This is a great sleeper piece. Scary-good accuracy for mechanical. 904 steel is as hard as lead.
I mostly agree; it's a very accurate watch. However 904 steel isn't any harder than normal steel and lead is actually a very soft metal, although heavy.
Mustard>Tiffany
Nice macro shots!
Not into this. You need one Rolex in your collection.
Nice 👍 video mate.
TBF' not enjoying the current Rolex AD's politics!! selling to genuine costomers is not there priority.
Such an entry level OP41 is now 'unobtainable.
We can only dream on...
The Rolex egg yolk. Im waiting for the pasta salad colour.
Indeed, great.
Great video.
yellow or coral for me. tiffany blue is good for a woman ..
What is your wrist size?
And people say Rolex has poor finishing 😂 gonna have to disagree on that
I suspect Col. Mustard, in the A.D., with the strap tool...
Good Watch, Good Video.
Other music but still recognizable 🤞
PIKACHUUUUU ❤
Great content! Your filming skills are superb! I just started a watch channel and have taken inspiration from Teddy Baldassarre and Watchfinder, but now, I will add YOUR CHANNEL to the list of influences!
I'd like to ask a few questions about your shots, do you have an IG?
Thanks!
I love ur reviews brother..perfect in every way..keep up the good work
36MM looks better on your wrist IMO.
I find it too difficult to wear, too jarring. I gave it a try but had to let it go. Turquoise maybe, easier on the eye, on paper.
Very nice Hafiz
No. Rolex has been using Yellow dials since a long time. You can see magazines of Antique Rolex watches.
Surprised u didn’t mention the colourful OPs are copycats, ok homage to the Stella Dials of Day-Dates in the 1070s-1980s. Phillips sold a yellow Stella last year for just over US$200,000.
Yes homage used in the proper way with Rolex here - not copycat
The close up shots are nice. Can see the specks of dusts
I am boring. I like OP41 in blue
Good review but honestly I think you were very lenient on the quality control. I am hoping you were not influenced too much by what Paul Thorpe and David Khalil had to say about your last video because I thought your review was spot on.
Can never get through your videos....too many ads.
Not a problem. Consider supporting the creators and understanding how much effort, time and direct cost go behind producing these for the individuals who make these videos.

0:44 that's a perfectly sexy look right there.
Love your videos Hafiz, but this is one fugly watch. No doubt people will still gobble it up though.
Great video. What good is it if you have to pay flipper price. Forget it!
Just go to a reputable dealer and they should be able to order one for you. Mine took three months to arrive. (Retail price)
@@allan2098 Good for you. I have a Skydweller on order for over a year.
@@roberthiers5606 Not the same league mate, Skydwellers are like unicorns..
@@allan2098 Well there are a lot of unicorns on Chrono 24. LOL
@@roberthiers5606 At retail in an AD?
Too custardy and insipid looking. This would be funkier in sunray purple.
Demand is so hot that it is not available at authorized dealers. Sighs.
You are unfortunately wrong: this very yellow DOES have historical significance and IS typically associated with Rolex. The tiffany blue, coral red & yellow OP41 are all references to the famous day-date stella dials of the 1960s with exactly the same colors. And the yellow is a reference to the most famous one: nicknamed the bart simpson, a Rolex icon. I am surprised: you are very keen on details yet seem to lack a lot of historical background in your reviews. No one is perfect I guess..
Having a history and a historical significance are two different things. Just because there’s a history doesn’t mean it was historically significant enough to make an impact.
It also depends on how you define “historical significance”. To me personally, Stella dials were history, not historically significant.
Anything that was once done and not poplar today isn’t as such significant, but again it’s subjective.
Thanks for watching.
Smooth Acceleration - Could you maybe try rephrasing your comment in a more smug, condescending and arrogant way .
@@thegraciefighter102 I am not the one being smug and arrogant. I am defending Rolex against a smug & arrogant critique.
веселенькие часы!
Mustard dial
I have a 12 year old OP and it doesn’t look like the OP41.
👌👌👌
..i wanted to say something witty, but.. well.. ..interesting!
👍’s 🙂
sooooooo goooood :)
Wow this wears huge!!
I am definately leaning towards the OP39 (114300) in white.
Thx bro for helping me decide 👍
It's like a pug, so ugly it's almost cute.
Hahah. I literally can’t stop laughing reading this.
Cheers.
You killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Jesus if Wilsdorf was alive he’d give you a lifetime supply of any Rolex you want.
By interesting he obviously means sh*tter
There are a lot of adds
