No no no no why settle for the 41 mm when just a couple of weeks would have given you the perfect 36 mm version? Really makes me sad, man. I know, you know, we all know that 41 mm for time only is too much. I own the 124270 like you. Wait for the 36 mm. Sorry for being so honest, but I can sense that you agree here. Best of luck.
He did the right thing. Rolex reps are banking on him to say he’ll wait because in reality they will never deliver on their promises. 2-3 weeks turns into 2-3 months due to”demand” suddenly he’s waiting a year. Whole goal for them is to wait him out and hope he gives up.
Looks excellent on you. From what I seen, it measures at 39 mm in actuality. Love the new Explorer 40 as well. Always thought those sizes were too big but the proportionality is perfect so they wear better than expected. Keep it!!
I think you did the right thing, I have both sizes in green and have a smaller wrist, but for this color of dial... it's more sporty in the 39.5mm case size. The 36mm I have - brand new, I cant seem to sell. Now if it were black or silver dial you'd may want to sway to the 36 as its a bit more dressy.
I’d say you are very lucky. Things happen for a reason and you were meant to have the 41mm. I also think the 41 looks better, 36 is too small for a man.
I agree 2-3 is way too long a wait time for a prefect Rolex “really “. The dealer AP F’ed up on a multi thousand dollar purchase and then up sold you. Really. 41 or 36 mm personal preference but the rest of the story Really.
Everyone saying they prefer a smaller watch 36mm is because you have small hands and wrist. I can only wear 40mm-41mm otherwise it looks like ladies watch on my wrist. Its not about whats betrer or price points or what you prefer. Its what looks right on each persons wrist
It looks really good on you man dont let the small watch company get you. I tried the 36mm but it wears to small. People who havent tried it cant really tell how it wears. I bought the 41 and I have 6.5 inch wrist and it looks and wears perfect.
Funny how ADs don’t have anything to sell but when this was mistake was identified all of a sudden they can get a new 36mm in a couple of weeks. Additionally, be able to immediately hand him a 41mm for their mistake, but walk into any AD and they have nothing to sell.
I have an OP 36 and the rehaut doesn’t have that thick of an edge to even see scratches which makes me wonder!!! I think I would have sent it in to Rolex to be serviced and have the dealer pay for the repairs. It’s surprising that he didn’t offer to do that.
I have a 36 datejust 1990 all gold with diamonds original and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m a big muscular guy at 6’3 250 lbs and I still love that 36 for classy occasions and it’s so easy to manage long sleeves and suits with the 36 size. My wife just got me a brand new sea dweller gold 43 mm at retail without having to wait long and I can pull off the 43mm like a normal person would look with a 36mm or 41mm. You should get a 36 later down the road for rare occasions and the 41 as a daily/casual outings
Je to predrazena znacka ! Navodi sa dojem jedinecnosti - buduje sa to dlhodobo a este na hodinky mate cakat ako sa cakalo v poradovniku niekolko rokov na auto vo vychodnom bloku ..no kto chce - nech si to kupi - slnoda .
The 41 looks good. I’m not a fan of that size but it wears well on you. Especially since it’s a sports watch. If you had a 41mm dress watch with no base or case overhang, it’d be too much. And remember, it looks bigger when you look down on it. However, if you’re partial to 36mm I have this sneaking suspicion that you’re still going to want that. You may even start to question the negative space on the dial of the 41.
Is the bracelet a bit loose? Looks like the watch is hanging rather than sitting snugly on your wrist. Can I ask what size your wrist is? The 41 looks great to me but I could be biased as I’m on the waitlist for one! 🙏🏼
My wrist is 6.7 inch, i love how 36 mm watches look, but sometimes we have to be opened to new things. The good thing is that if i don’t like it i can sell it or exchange it for something else.
I like the 41 better I tired to like the 36mm .. but it looks too small.....maybe Im too used to my sub.. but then again these are all just opinions... what YOU like better is the right answer
The 41mm looks great. I wear a 41mm DJ and I love it. I’m also not a small guy so the 41 suits my wrist well. Great choice. I know many prefer the 36 but ultimately you should pick what YOU like it. That’s the fun of watches right? Something for everyone.
That is crazy. I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m just starting my journey with my Explorers. I have one in 36mm and the other in 39mm. Both times I had no issues and I came out of the AD playing Million Dollar Baby. That’s how it should feel every single time you buy a Rolex. Even if your OP is a daily driver. I’m glad they made things right for you. I have Tudors in 41mm so I know it also looks good on my wrist and in the video yours as well. As long as you’re happy in the end I’m all for it. Thank you for sharing this experience. I will be looking at my watches with over zealous detail now 😅
I owned the 41 and what I didn't like is the gap between the bezel and the endlink of the bracelet. I felt it was not perfectly engineered. I saw the Tissot homage of this watch and it was just perfect. Everything aligned as it should be. I became obsessed, and I didn't see anything but this gap each time I wore the watch. I ended up trading it with a friend for something else.
42 looks great! There is no right or wrong here - depends on the size of your wrist and style - there is a trend towards smaller watches these days, but that OP looks amazing in 41 too. Depends upon the lugs as well in terms of big it wears
There is no right or wrong but for me personally the 36mm would be the better choice on my 7 inch wrist. I had a similar size choice but with the BB36 vs BB41. The proportions and size with the BB36 was perfection, the 41mm just seemed a bit disjointed. 😊
Don't ask what do you guys think, just wear what you enjoy. I was all 41 OP but when i saw the 36 i was surprised how much i liked it in person with the silver dial. My disappointment with rolex was a tad bit different story, if we talk disappointment. Purchased my first "expensive" watch, back in 2008 seamaster chrono 2225.80. Back then there weren't ton of videos on youtube, let alone watch videos/reviews/dealers, so i just enjoyed the watch. It was chunky, the bracelet didn't taper, ran +/- 2 sec a week, insanely accurate, and it was what gave my my initial experience as far as quality/feel/etc goes. Sold it in 2015 and bought a no date ceramic sub, which was double the price. When the sub arrived, i was gobsmacked. Didn't understand what costs twice the price on it, as it wasn't better built, wasn't more luxurius, didn't feel more robust, it was simply a nice watch. So the submariner went after a week. Btw i'm not a rolex hater.
mamacoo You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
It doesn't look too big on your wrist tbh but if your choice is 36mm, then maybe you are the only one that should decide. My 6 inch wrist probably will crave the 36mm if I able to get it someday.
I have a 16.3cm wrist and always go for 36mm or less, but dayum, that 41mm! I think it looks great, and hell, it's a fkin Rolex, ROOOOOOOOOLIIEEE anyway, i'd take it and wear it proud, kinda like the watch chose you instead of the other way situation
The scratches and other flaws are common in Swiss watches. There is even a You Tube channel that focuses on flaws in high end watches. With Rolex it may be a manufacturing quality control problem. They produce so many watches per year some flaws on the final product will get passed. I was at an Omega AD a while back and saw a crack at 12 o'clock in the ceramic bezel on a Speedmaster. When I pointed it out to the manager he looked at the window display and did not seem that surprised. He then told me they were also having problems with the newer Tag Heurer models. He also said any watch with movement complications will need more servicing. Some ceramic watches will shatter when dropped.
41s are easier on the resale, that’s a plus and they hold more money - also it’s good to mix up your collection. It will grow on you as time goes by promise
The 41 is bigger and costs more, but you feel like it is a little too big for your wrist. If that is the case, then you ended up settling for what was available, and for the price you paid, you shouldn't. The only reason I would have taken it was so that I could sell it, make a profit, and get the size of the watch that I wanted and was comfortable with.
Yeah. If you're talking about grey dealers. Rolex is not rare among the dealer network. Dealers can pretty much get most of what they need from other dealers.
it was totally legit, i checked it and the serial number and card and everything all checked out and i took it to my watchmaker and it checked out too. I
That is though about it too but i hade the little white tag too and it gave the right Number which was 126000-0005. my guess is that they broke the watch replaced the crystal and dial and they couldn’t do anything about the rehaut. Idk
Prefer smaller diameter (36 > 41) for coloured dials. More classy imo

I had the op41 in blue.
It’s actually not really 41mm. I used calipers and I believe it’s 39.5 or so.
It’s def not 41.
Hafiz Mehmood has a video on this. The case is 39.5mm and the bezel is 39mm. I don't know why Rolex calls it a 41.
Looks good. Sometimes, the watch we didn't know we wanted becomes the one we grow to love.
I think the new one looks good. I watched the video twice and paused on the wrist shots to take a long look, and I really think you're ok.
Looks great!
How’s that too big for your wrist lol . Looks good man nice that Rolex took care of you . That’s great customer service.

I know its the current trend to have a 36mm unisex Rolex on a mans wrist but I think you have done well here. The 41mm suits you.
Looks very good. Your wrist is big enough to wear a 41. Worked out great for you. Your dealer took care of you!
Thank you so much mamacoo for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer
I like the 36mm for silver and black dial as they are more dressy and classic, otherwise 41mm for the colours

That’s a pizza pan on your wrist. Sorry. You asked what we thought haha. I agree with your initial instinct that time only is better with a 36

It’s whatever you are comfortable with. Your money and your decision on what will make you happy.
Enjoy the timepiece and don’t look back😎
If that’s an important issue in your life, you are a fortunate man.
My thoughts exactly.
The OP41 is legit. I own the silver and it's an incredibly legible, everyday watch. Great choice!
Sorry but for me it is too big ! I am waiting for thé green in 36 ….. love this color
The 41 suits you. 36 is for small wrists. You’re definitely not a small wrist.
