Nineteen Oh Eight
Finally had a chance to see this in the metal. First impression - liked it better than the earlier Cellini models. Overall very well executed. Liked the matte black dial very much.
Although, for my tastes, I'd probably go with other brands such as Breguet/PP/ALS etc. for this category of watches.

I tried the white gold silver dial last month
and I must say I quite liked it. My biggest complaint was size: it should have been 2mm smaller for me to really like it Brands seem to justify higher current prices with 'wrist real estate' ...
it is very thin
I can imagine people leaving their other rolexes on the side after purchasing this. It is refined yet still oozes Rolex quality and robustness
I played with it not long ago and my vote would go for the silver dial in any metal(white or yellow).
The black dial had low legibility for my eyes…
