Happy Friday! My AD called me with this today

so I popped over to pick it up. It’s fun. A bit out of character for Rolex but that’s what makes it so interesting I think. Would you wear this watch? ...  

What I'd do with this watch...

This watch is a little too bubbly for my slightly Germanic/serious personality. I'd probably give it to "Sophie" and turn her into a "WATCHDOG!" I just love making this joke! ...  

I have used that joke before myself. I love it!

Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

You too! Big hugs to Sophie!

It’s a “bubbly” watch to be sure. I am told

 
 By: edtonkin : September 8th, 2023-18:28
that it’s one of the most difficult Rolex dials to produce. The reason is that they are unable to pad print all the bubbles in different colors at the same time. So each color must be printed one after another and the tolerances are minuscule between the ... 

Ahh, yes, the good old screen printing method!

 
 By: patrick_y : September 8th, 2023-18:34
Lots of egg spatulas! Black, yellow, red, tongue pink, white, and peach face. So at least six different prints for this Micky dial, assuming they do the numbers and the logo with the rest of the black prints. The Rolex dial is probably a similar process, ...  

I'm a big fan

I asked for one, and my AD told me after a few months that I shouldn't hold my breath. Enjoy!

Thanks very much!

Thanks. I’ll wear it!

When you’ve run out of technical innovation you do this.

wow this one is very cool! Congrats

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : September 8th, 2023-19:33

Thanks. Appreciate it my friend!

Do you have any of the previous colored OP pieces?

 
 By: ArmisT : September 8th, 2023-19:37
Because I wonder if you’d favor wearing a solid colored OP over this one.🤔 But I expect this one is fun in person, and definitely a conversation starter.

Then that’s tough OP competition! 👌🏽

 
 By: ArmisT : September 11th, 2023-15:44
But they still each have a different vibe.

Looks great fun, congratulations Ed!

Thanks Jon!

Very happy for you!

I like it a lot, but did not bother asking an AD, as I know ...

You’re too kind. But no. Just another

It’s a fun watch, not everything needs to be so serious.

A cause for celebration!!

Congrats a nice and fun watch.

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : September 9th, 2023-07:25
Enjoy it 🤗

I would kill for just about everything in your amazing collection, Ed

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : September 9th, 2023-08:05
But this one I’d rather stare at my Summer watch tan. I would think of it quite fondly however after I flipped it for a nice profit!

It's super fun! I am a fan.

 
 By: andrea~ : September 9th, 2023-08:17

Great fun! Well done Ed!

 
 By: Centurionone : September 9th, 2023-13:04
A nice watch for someone who is confident, doesn't take himself too seriously and loves fun in life.. I would.

A fantastic and fun timepiece! - congrats!!!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : September 9th, 2023-22:13
Definitely (for me) an amazing release!

I would. It's timeless, youthful. 😂

 
 By: geross : September 10th, 2023-04:03
You stopped the ageing process. Your a kid, adolescent and a playboy. Wonderful. Congratulations. Enjoy your youth. 🥂🍾👍 Geross.

I would totally wear that!

 
 By: Wristenthusiast : September 11th, 2023-02:16
I’ve been looking for an Op to gift my daughter. Not that the one you have is available in any way 🤦‍♂️. But I showed a picture of it to her and she was drooling. She doesn’t even have the watch bug like me and was just enamored. Love it!

I could not wear it but

 
 By: watch-er : September 12th, 2023-17:27
glad you got it and love it.
