Well, it sure has been a while since my last post and in the meantime i have started looking at other brands and non sports models now that Rolex watches are virtually impossible to buy here in the Netherlands. And in all honesty, i was missing a dress watch in my collection after i sold my PP Calatrava a year ago. The reason for selling my Calatrava was that it was in white gold and now that i am over fifty years old i believe it is ok to wear yellow or rosegold watches, i like the hue of gold more and more. I have been looking at JLC, Cartier, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. I was offered a Rolex Cellini Dual Time with the brown dial and although i liked the look of it, i like my watch to show the date because of the work i do. When i arrived at the AD to check out the Cellini, i saw a VC Fiftysix in the window, so i asked to see that as well next to the Cellini. In the end i choose this one and i am really happy with it. Here is a first shot on the wrist.

A lovely watch

Reminiscent of vintage pieces and reflecting refinement, good taste, and a willingness to choose what caught your eye rather than what is seen more often.

It has a lovely glow to it...

...and a great 'casual' dress watch. Beautiful strap, too. I've always preferred yellow gold simply because of my skin tone. My wife says I'm more of an Autumn-color kind of guy : )
