The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 with the Celebration dial is the larger version of the bubble dial. Same turquoise base, same multicolored circles with black outlines, just scaled to 41mm. The bubbles have more room to spread out on the bigger dial surface. Whether that works better or worse than the 36mm version is a preference call. The 36mm packs the bubbles tighter. The 41mm lets them breathe. The smooth domed bezel and the fully brushed Oyster bracelet are standard OP. VSF Watch got the bubble colors and the movement right.

The dial. The turquoise base with the scattered bubbles is the same design as the 36mm version. Coral red, yellow, green, and candy pink circles with black outlines across the dial. On the 41mm surface the bubbles have more space between them. The pattern reads as more open and less dense than the 36mm. The double-baton indices at 3, 6, and 9 and the single batons at the remaining hours sit over the bubbles. The hands are the standard OP baton shape with Chromalight fill that glows blue. Whether the 41mm or the 36mm Celebration dial is the better size depends on how much color you want on your wrist. The 41mm gives you more of it. VSF matched the turquoise base and the individual bubble colors correctly.
The movement. Dandong 3230 automatic with a 72-hour power reserve. True no-date. Two crown positions. No ghost date position. Same movement as every other OP in the range.
The case. 41mm in 904L steel. Brushed lugs with polished case flanks. The bezel is a polished smooth dome. Twinlock crown with no guard. The larger case gives the dial more presence and the polished bezel frames the bubbles cleanly.
The bracelet. Fully brushed Oyster with an Oysterclasp and a 5mm Easylink extension. The all-brushed finish keeps the focus on the dial.
