Is it even worth asking a dealer to order one or am kidding myself with no previous purchase history etc? Not looking for the hyped up blue.

I've been waiting 6 months for the blue. Haven't heard anything yet. But you might get lucky.
Hope I’m not jinxing anything but let’s see what happens with demand once Covid eases and people are back to spend their hard earned money on travels, cars, nights out etc …
Yeah, I think I will contact a couple of AD's, nothing to lose I guess. I'd rather do it in person, but I don't have a dealer within easy distance.Quote:

Saw the navy in Goldsmiths recently & it was surprisingly nice. I do wish they hadn't discontinued the white though.
With no previous history you’ll hugely struggle.Quote:

Come on, this Green dial is a bargin with the Patek dial !Quote:

Is there more than one blue variant? The Tiffany blue is listed by grey dealers at a seriously ludicrous premium so assume ADs will be treating them like Daytonas.Quote:

Navy, silver, or black. Forget all other colours exist…
I picked up my Navy OP41 late last year and absolutely love it....

The size is great, and along with the GS they make a great pairing.

Goodness me. Those are two understated, classy little beauties you have there. Bravo.Quote:

My wrist is around 7.25" and it definitely takes me a couple of days to adjust after wearing one of my other watches, there's certainly a lot of dial on show.Quote:

I do love the simplicity and the lack of polishing on show in comparison to the DJ, I can see mine staying with me long term.
He who dares Rodney!

Thank you for the info, it's good to know as I have considered a 214270 in the past.Quote:

I would normally agree with you and have hithertoo advocated 36mm for average sized wrists when ever asked but I tried the op41 green and red on last night and I have say they wore much much better than I expected. Looking at reviews the case size appears to actually be 39.5mm and the new 41s have 21 inch bracelet at the lugs so the proportions seem better to me. The domed bezel doesnt look too big unlike on the dj41 imo. I'd probably so bright blue dial as the darker colours shrink the size. At rrp I'd be tempted (although I'm on a no spending policy currently).Quote:

Rugged and stylish.
That in a 39 or 42mm would make me happy.
Not that I'd ever buy one. :)
I agree the OP41 wears better than a DJ41 in terms of size. I moved my blue dialed OP41 on very quickly as I felt the large dial didn't really work for that classic style of watch.Quote:

The op41 is actually 39.5cm across the case.Quote:
