I don't think you can go wrong
I've loved the look of this watch immediately upon release and before there was that much hype on it. I don't think you can really go wrong. Another one to consider from a value perspective might be the Z-Blue (which I have in the collection). Arguably "better" and not as hyped to a crazy degree.
Trying Rolex… will see
I have never owned a Rolex. My collection is mainly Patek and i am a bit religeous about this strategy. Last week though, a friend of mine wants to sell his OP 41 blue to upgrade for another watch. It is still almost new (1 year old but looks in excellent...
I added the right picture…
Not sure why it is still showing a wrong one… sorry for this🙈
How do your Patek’s make you feel?
They are sophisticated, elegant, classic and understated. I bet they confer similar emotions to you when you wear them. But there’s also clearly a fun and adventurous side to your personality that does not take itself too seriously. I commend you for that...

Coming from Patek to a colorful rolex that trades multiple of retail price....i would not do it if i were you
Except on retail price. I strongly think the watch does not worth more than its retail price. Dont get me wrong. Rolex makes very fine and reliable watches. But a watch that hyped just because of the dial colour....nah.
I wouldn’t buy it.
1. If you don’t know and feel it yourself and have to ask us, this is not a watch you are 100% sure about. In this case I always would pass. 2. This dial colour is just part of a current hype. So, do you REALLY like it? 3. Regarding value: the development...
I’m also a “Patek guy” (even if I try to keep it a secret😎) but these OPs are just lots of fun — go for it!😁 My girlfriend and I exchanged them as Christmas gifts and couldn’t be happier — great looking, fresh, and simply perfect as daily beaters!
Note that it wasn’t even a complete “betrayal” to Patek, since it was critical to employ two of their ADs carrying both brands in order to source them at retail (they are otherwise very hard to get, especially the OP41, for non-Rolex customers like me! ;-...
thanks Fab and everyone....
i will negotiate the price but it would not be MSRP... it will also not be what is currently advertised. will probably be somewhere in the middle which is fine. price is not the issue here. as i said it looks very different to me and very much in your FAC...
don't go for it, as an owner of many rolex and some pateks
the rule (for all of them) is retail price only.
Looks good on your wrist and it is just a bit of fun.
However I wouldn’t pay a penny more than retail for such a watch. If this is the case go for it. What’s the worst than can happen? Although from a personal point Tiffany anything is for our ladies. The Colour is very effeminate to me. But each to their ow...
the watch is nice but is not tiffany dial and is a very basic rolex
so in the world of a Patek owner it won't look as much and after a while (probably longer than one week test drive) you probably won't wear it as much. (just an assumption, I don't know your collection). In the world of Rolex it is a very basic one and no...
I have a 5712 and this.
You get a lot of attention with this one. I feel way more comfortable with the 5712. You dont get those "looks" that you get with the tiffany. I would not recommend if the looks bother you. I agree with the others, that you should not pay more than retail...
I'm not a fan of this ref
Because of the bright dial color. As for rolex, I had many watches before I got a submariner. It is not my favorite watch but nice to have in the collection. It is my only watch with bracelet and I feel it is very well made. It is great for family trip to...
First, this watch isn’t provocative.
Let’s not confuse or taint what was a widely enjoyed release a few years ago with the controversy and debate surrounding the Patek pieces. The whole point of these OPs, and the Stella dials that came decades before, was fun and fashion. Even before the Pa...
A good rolex has place in any collection. Solid, more casual than your Patek’s, built to last, wear almost anywhere.
But this one, too expensive right now. Many other Rolex watches worth exploring.
If you didn’t love it the min you saw it
Don’t buy it!!! You must love the watch the first min you see it, if not your just never gonna use it
Of course, it depends on the price your friend is giving you
These things trade for faaaaar more than they are worth (in many enthusiasts' view), so that would be the first thing to consider. Outside of all context, this is a fabulous watch. But unless you are happy with the price, and don't mind bearing Rolex's re...
feedback after 48hrs!!!
this is the best watch to have, when you want every single person in a certain place to look at you!!! coming from Patek where normally no one would notice you unless he is a connaisseur, it is scary with this blue watch! now i am getting more why it is s...
