And the RolexRolexRolex is a panoply of colors on an oversized dial: what's not to like? Walking around outdoor retail spaces in HKG, Chk

These pieces look better behind the glass, than in pictures. But they must stay within the vitrine glass.

About the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 Ref. 124300

The reference 124300 represents the Oyster Perpetual 41 with a turquoise blue dial configuration. This particular series distinguishes itself through the distinctive dial colorway within the 41mm Oyster Perpetual range. The turquoise blue dial variant offers an alternative to traditional dial colors in the collection.

The 41mm case is constructed from Oystersteel with a smooth fixed bezel. A sapphire crystal protects the turquoise blue dial surface. The watch operates via automatic movement and maintains water resistance to 100 meters. The case diameter positions this reference as the larger option within the contemporary Oyster Perpetual lineup.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a contemporary Rolex sports watch with unconventional dial coloring. The 41mm case size accommodates modern sizing preferences while the turquoise blue dial provides visual distinction from standard dial offerings. The combination of Oystersteel construction and automatic movement delivers the fundamental characteristics expected from the Oyster Perpetual collection in a distinctive colorway execution.

Thank you!

Having had both on the wrist, i agree the OP 100 years is much different (better) than on pictures. I like that model and it grows on me. However they will only produce it fir a couple of months…

I've been on the list for the 100 year two-tone

Promised the AD I'd get it dirty if they get me one, no safe-queen! Curious to see if anything happens...

I was shocked by the Jubilee dial…

I thought that it was exceptionally charming! However, I must say, I wonder if it would be better suited to the Land Dweller than the OP. I liked the two-tone OP, but it didn’t sparkle like the Jubilee dial did! Still two great models on my favorite platform.

I really like Oyster Perpetuals

Have been waiting on one from the AD since the color change in 2021 or 2022 (September I think it was) when the Rolex green dial came out. Still waiting, chk

I have the blue…

That was released a few years ago. It’s among my favorite watches. Hope you get yours soon!
