I think this is - and Rolex actually say so - the essence of the Oyster. You get the movement that is also in the Explorer and the no date Submariner plus 100m water resistance. It's also quite understated if you choose one of the muted dial colours. In a way the green dial is even more of "the essence" as it is the Rolex brand colour. But yes, in terms of good proportions it's the 36mm.

I think Omega has a nice compromise in the 38mm Aqua Terra. That's why my father picked that one up vs. the 41mm AT, even though he has a bigger wrist than I do and can pull the 41 off quite easily.

The Rolex OP is the most original Rolex you can get. It carries the brands successful innovations O and P on which every other sportsmodel from Rolex is based on, from Submariner to Explorer and also DJ to DD. You can not take the DJ and describe the OP as the non fluted and non date version. These are two different models. In addition to that the OP design is just phenomenal. Nothing that disturbs, very clear and elegant. A watch why watch enthusiasts would love the Rolex brand. Nothing showy and blinky. Just perfection and quality. A perfect connection between a sportswatch and a dress watch. The real essence of the brand. I mean these are the undisputable facts that every watch expert should know before setting up a review. The purpose of the OP is not to collect all type of colors. I mean all other models have colorful dials, too if you include the gold models as well.

It'll make a nice heirloom. The OP is a nice watch but underwhelming. A good deal if purchased at retail price or small premium. I would certainly rock one at retail, especially that green dial. I would pay a moderate premium for the pink dial 41. That one is ridiculous. I am waiting for this market craziness to subside and be able to buy it at 2k over retail. In time, with patience, I believe it will be possible.

I LOVED Elvis and think Austin Butler did an amazing job in the role. The watches you could see in the movie were very nice although I was hoping to see a Rolex King Midas

The 36 mm is the right dress watch size - good for women, too - a nice unisex watch - below the radar when wearing this Rolex - like the 36 Explorer - great and humble Watch - and green is the Rolex colour

We are sitting down and drinking coffee. LoL. I love the impression.

The problem with Rolex is that the rip off continues well after purchase. Service for $800-$1000. Even if it is every 5-7 years. It's too much FOR ME. I trusted someone else to service for much cheaper and ending up ruining the dial with water. Get a new dial you say? I was quoted $1,000 + installation. No thanks. Sold it. Replaced with a Glycine 36 Combat Sub for $379. Don't care about prestige of the brand. Rolex makes great watches but FOR ME I can't justify the cost and the service pricing.

Got a 36mm pink OP two weeks after they were released for my wife from an AD - no purchase history with this particular AD! She wore it everyday for over a year, never cleaned it or polished it. Used it as a Rolex should be used, it was fairly scratched up and was still able to sell it to a dealer straight away for €13k who in turn sold it for €16k within a week!Absolute madness! Fingers crossed the market trend continues and the actual enthusiast get the watches they actually want 🤞🏼 Great video as always - for a second I thought I was watching a Bark&Jack video 😂

Michael, I know you love the club campus. Just wondering if it ever bothers you that it has this sports watch look with a dress watch movement? For me it gives the impression it can take a beating, with its form and 100m water resistance, but it’s really got a movement that’s quite susceptible to shock and magnetism. I believe the delicate alpha movement is really more suited to dress watch forms like the Tetra you’ve mentioned on here before, because it seems more fitting rather than being “a sheep in wolfs clothing”. Just my 2 cents, love the club’s look, I wish Nomos would develop an automatic that was robustly durable to fit it, rather than just making it entry level and sticking in the alpha. I guess going with this video, what Rolex does. Anything sports, even the entry oysters are all sufficiently durable and match its appearance. Aka it can take a knocking. 30m on the Tetra is appropriate so people don’t swim and jump off cliffs with it, it’s pretty easy to damage the Alpha caliber.

The Oyster Perpetual is a nicer looking watch than most other Rolex watches. I think it looks much nicer than a Sub or GMT Master II or a Yachtmaster or anything. A lot of Rolex watches look pretty gaudy. The Oyster Perpetual looks classy.

No way it’s worth $5,800 (or 2X that on the secondary market). MUCH better and more interesting watches available with other brands.

Breitling only uses AR on the underside of the crystal. It is really good, perhaps the best in the industry for only one layer of AR. Now, as far as I know, Rolex only used double sided coating (as on Omegas) on the new Cellini. The new Explorer is using AR only on the underside, but it is pretty bad to be honest, at least when comparing with the AR from other brands.

@@chaosad4508 The 41 was Rolex’s internal code for larger OP. There were more OP41 made than OP36 and OP34 combined together, with ratio 4:1. Look at the finishing of OP41. The hour marks are squarish, the crown on the dial is small. It required much less labor to make it. During lockdowns keeping less people at the factory was crucial. I own both, OP41 and OP36 with stella dials. When I walk into the AD wearing those watches: OP41 - it’s a nice watch! OP36 - where did you get that watch? Both watches are great. Both going to be extremely collectible. It’s just OP36 is slightly better proportioned, has the beveled hour marks, which makes them more sparkling, and better fitted crown.

debating with myself about getting one, green is my favorite, only thing in my position it would have to be secondery market and prices seem still unreasonable high, around £10k for 36mm is waaaay too much. Didn't know about 4:1 ratio etc.. thanks for the answer.

@@chaosad4508 very soon Rolex going to release stella Daydate. I would safe for those.Rolex plans to make all of their 36mm watches exclusive. Smaller watches are coming back in fashion. While everyone is chasing larger watches, I would add couple smaller ones into my collection. My holy grail watch is 36mm Daydate with Rainbow Baguette Diamond Dial Watch. It’s a far out of my price range. I am hoping someday I’ll get one.

The OP is worth it at list price... not at gray market price.. I would love trade my 114060 sub for the 36mm but it's impossible to get one at AD.... and they are not worth gray market prices.

My Explorer 124270 now comes with AR and makes a huge difference. Rolex should now include AR on all models.

It’s a great watch. I waited 6 months from my AD and got it for $6100. It’s kind of a perfect 1 watch do it all. Love it!

You're insane, OP and sub no date are the real and most beautiful watches.

I have the 41 mm green OP. It looks great, but I also have an 8.5 inch wrist 😂🦍

12K? No way thats like SBGA413 + Pelagos/SM300 + 1926. There are like unlimited options to get sports watch, dive watch and dress watch for that kind of money.

Micheal you remind me of Hughie from The Boys……no offence intended. Great solo video again.

Most like Rolex as a cool status symbol, like the datejust and daydate but don't get the reason people want the OP. Seems so boring so is it simply because it's a Rolex? Seems to me that you just end up with a fairly stale watch that just so happens to be "a rolex". Why not get the new omega aqua terra 38mm in color. Some would say it's a copy but it's an actual good watch that looks beautiful and that omega seems to care about.
