OWD for Opportunity object is set to Public Read Only, is there a way to some of the opportunity records private ?

OWD for Opportunity object is set to Public Read Only which means all users have at least read access to the object records. 
We would like to make a few opportunity records private that is only a set of users will have read/write access to these records, all other users cannot see the records. Is this possible?

Can I find a way to do this without having to change the OWD to private

I think that seems not possible.

Not possible Bola Ola. If you want to make even 1 record private then the OWD needs to be private. You can then open access up with e.g. role hierarchy, sharing rules etc but you must start from a position of private.
