Thanks for sharing ! The colour looks different from the official web site. The new collection means Rolex can be fun. The green and yellow look really interesting.

Rolex 2020 novelties: Part 2 (Oyster Perpetual and Sky-Dweller)

 
 By: foversta : September 8th, 2020-14:44
As stated in the first part, this year Rolex has gone well beyond the "simple" renewal of the Submariner collection. In fact, the new features of the Oyster Perpetual are certainly even more important from a strategic point of view for the brand. Indeed, ...  

Great pictures thanks. [nt]

Thanks a lot FX for two nice and very helpful photoreports! As I said in earlier threads, I find these new OPs to be the most interesting/original Rolex novelties this year...

Looking forward to seeing them in the metal though, as the colors seem to constantly change with every picture! I think I would probably go with the yellow, 41mm version, though the other colors are also playful and versatile enough to be enjoyed on an en... 

I must be in the target market because I really like the larger 41mm size of the OP...

My only challenge is I like too many of the new color and would have a hard time to prioritize . I like the red, yellow and turquoise, but I have yet to see a closer picture of the green dial which might prove in my case to be a better long term choice I ... 

Thank you for the report and review. One thing that I am not sure...

"The case sides of OP is satin finished..." . I don't think so from the few pictures. Looks like the same as before : polished sides (flank), with brushed top lugs. Please confirm, thanks again for your post.

Excellent article, FX.

Even if Rolex is going places these years that don’t suit my personal taste, as you say nothing they do is unconsidered. So very worthwhile your analysis.

Merci, FX!

Great write up on the OP's. I agree that this is the most momentous introduction from Rolex in years. They must have noticed an erosion of sales with younger generations, and this is an attempt to appeal to a younger audience with "fresh" offerings at the... 

Thanks! Really like the 41mm Orange

I’m thinking about getting a “fun” summer watch and was considering the new Breitling Endurance in orange... but this new Oyster might be a very solid alternative

Wonderful write up and photos , thank you

I must say, the new oyster Perpetual launch is more exciting and meaningful than the intro of those new submariners . Rolex is displaying the daring colours to challenge the conventional and conservative buyers , at the same time, attracts other collector... 

Did you see the new op in silver with the gold hands and markers? Was it sweet in person?

New Sky Dweller in yellow gold with the black strap looks like a piece of candy.
