I don't agree with you at all. A LOT of people do. No date, clean dial, and now the same size as an Aqua Terra. Not too expensive.... And they sell well.
If no one cared about it I doubt the most significant additions in decades would all be on that line.
Agreed, hopefully back to a 40mm case and none of that ridiculous ceramic bezel idea
I like the new OPs. Much of the attention of the watch press has focused on how amazing the Submariner’s new 3230 movement is. Well, for roughly half the price of the sub you can get a black OP (if color is not your thing) with the same exact movement. That’s a pretty good value, speaking in relative terms.
Roughly half? In Europe the Sub 124060 costs 7.700 euro, while the OP41 124300 costs 5.600 euro. That is far more than half, moreover, you could say that the Sub is ‘only’ about 2k more expensive.
Ok the new Sub is $8,100, the 41mm OP is $5,900 and the 36mm OP (same 3230 movement) is $5,600. So the 36 mm version (the one I would be interested in) is 70% of the cost of the Sub. I still think my point holds that the OP represents good value given that it is 70% of the cost of the Sub.
“You know that's what he really wanted to say”
You now need giant meat hooks to wear a Sub....
Someone needs to show the Rolex design team some of these watches. This is the level they need to be at. The new offererings are exceptionally weak and uninspired. They'll be successful because of the power of the brand but will never go down in history as legendary designs.
Beautiful! What reference is the watch in the middle?
