OP41

[bertieng]

Anyone has any experience with the OP41 such as GSF, GMF etc?
How's their build quality?

I have the GMF Blue and I'm quite happy with it, not a lot of choices.

Wow it seems like Rolex has stopped producing this Tiffany Blue OP?! They were selling for like 6-7 times Rolex AD prices. Now they'll prolly go up even more.

Very nice. I'm looking to buy the same watch. What dealer did you buy through and what was the delivery time? Thanks.

Any owners care to share opinions on the GSF OP41? I'm not sure which others have the correct length hands.

Also, any opinions on the A2836 movement over the decorated 3230 movement?

Interested in this as well. Recently tried on the OP41 blue at an AD and fell in love with the look.

IMO in terms of cosmetic accuracy, GSF is the only one to go in the case of OP41. In fact it is powered by A2824, not A2836, which is surely reliable and durable.
The problem is that it is hard to get hold of one. I've been trying since Jan and still has no luck

My Tiffany Blue GMF is very good. The blue isn’t 100% accurate but very close. The bracelet and case are very good. Bracelet must be legit 904 as it doesn’t scuff easily at all. The movement is amazing, A2824 and is keeping to @ + - 5 secs per day consistently since I’ve had it ( over a month. )

The only real gripe is the text is quite flat and thin looking. Doesn’t have the “applied” look of the gen.

Other than that it’s a great piece. Overall an 8/10.

Really helpful post, thank you.

I didn't do much research but some TD's claim A2836 but I know so very little about this game that I'm happy to accept that may be poor info. I'll keep an eye out for that distinction now and seek clarity, nice one.

A few TD's are claiming "in stock" on their official sites, have you found this not to be the case?

Thanks for the contribution, your watch looks fantastic!

Your photo is amazing for another reason also, it's a near perfect representation of the difference angles can make. I'd wager that most people could glance at that and believe the minutes hand is longer than the seconds hand.

Not meant to be offensive, GMF OP41 is known to be one of the rather inaccurately repped OP41. The bezel is all wrong and the minutes hand is marginally shorter. Tiffany Blue is not an issue as none of the reps on the market got it right.

No offence at all..and yes you are right. The bezel isn’t as “sculpted” in its rounded top angle making it look fatter. The hour hand is definitely shorter than gen as well. I’m not sure what other rep factory makes a better copy ? When looking at the EWF it shared the same flaws and I understand the GMF makes the better bracelet - hence my pick.
