Re. WoS and their results - it won’t be their Rolex sales that have driven the fall in sales, they still have more customers than watches. It will be everything else IMO.

So if they had more Rolexes to sell, their sales wouldn't have fallen as much?

Twinning.

I’m itching for a new watch. I’ve been really looking at the blue Sky-Dweller and the blue OP41. I’m unsure about which to get. More importantly, I’m unsure about how yet another Rolex would affect my status as F.A.R.T. President, if at all.

SkyDweller always

I’ve requested an OP 36 in either of the blue faces - let’s see what happens and when.

Obviously, I vote for the OP

I find OPs to be intensely boring. Maybe if you were looking at one of the wilder dial colors, but in something basic they just look like a watch anybody could make. If the Explorer doesn’t fit a multi watch collection, the OP is even worse in that context.

You make a good point, but I’ve gotten to the point where I truly appreciate the whole “less is more” mantra. Something quite soothing about looking at the plain, time-only dial.

This does not apply to my Explorer, which I hate and am actively trying to give away to the first homeless dude that approaches me.

Vote of no confidence is pending.

I had an OP (date) and quite miss it. Bit boring indeed but very versatile and pretty classy. No fuss no mess just pure Rolex.

Fair, but there are so many time only watches that are better, nicer and/or more interesting than the OP.

The Sky Dweller is the standout in Rolex's current lineup for me. It shows some real innovation. I've read that it wears large on the wrist, however.

It does not. It actually wears about the same as the Datejust 41.
