Planning to celebrate birth of my first child with a new Rolex. I’m looking at either the Bruce Wayne GMT or the Pistachio OP 41. AD seems to think it’s possible to get either. Which do I go for??? I currently have a white DJ41 smooth oyster and an omega SMP black.

Bruce Wayne seems like obvious choice for most but I like that the pistachio almost feels like a a soft pastel color similar to other “baby” colors

Hope you’re a woman buying it as your push present or if not, that you’re getting your wife one as well (since she’s doing all the work…)

To the guys who laughed at this, I wish you well in your respective inevitable divorces 😉

Get the Bruce Wayne. GMT’s are harder to get than OP’s

Agree with SC1. Go with the GMT - as a sports watch, it’s also different than the other watches that you have (dress, diver). Congratulations on becoming a parent!!

Just go Grey! I would do Bruce Wayne. Congrats!!

Bruce Wayne, and congrats!

Get the one you actually want, not which seems to be harder to get.

You may want to consider waiting since Watches and wonders is coming up in a few weeks and new models will be announced. The tradeoff is you need a good AD to get something new (don’t get to play the first child card more than once) and you would obviously have to wait longer. The Bruce Wayne may only be available now because a new generation is getting released (rumor mill is saying ceramic dials like the WG Sprite) and AD’s are pushing through remaining stock
