I feel like I am watching a video of Duran Duran, circa 1984

Still, it's good to have variety.
It looks like the case of the OP36 has been reprofiled, very much like that of the DJ36 126,XXX. Until now, they had a case with thicker lugs, like the previous generation of DJ36 116,000.
Altogether, this looks really good, and I could easily see myself wearing the black or blue dial one. Though I am disappointed not to see a pure white dial with silver indices / hands.
But more than anything, I am disappointed they discontinued the OP39 to make way for an OP41. There's too big of a gap now between the OP36 and OP41. Now, I reserve my judgement until I have actually seen the watch itself because:
1) Rolex stated sizes are different from actual sizes, e.g. the DJ41 is actually around 39.7mm. So it could be that here too the case will actually be smaller than 41mm
2) The OP39 was wearing larger than 39mm (more like 40-40.5mm) due to the long lugs. If they kept the lugs length unchanged, they might end up wearing quite similar
