Not the usual suspect
for a first Rolex.
Found it and a PG version NOS at local AD. Got both: What a perfect excuse for a wedding gift!
The dial is exquisite and the case feels massive - in a good way.
Hand wound movement is gorgeous and pretty accurate as well. The winding is incredibly smooth.
I would replace the buckle for a pin one but besides that it sits confortaby on the wrist.
Promise to post more pics from both soon.

I dont know any other reference with such a caseback. Rolex decision of making the movement only partially visible is enigmatic though. Merci Alkiro!
I like this one....
a lot and since I am not a Rolex fan in general I actually considered getting it as a rare Rolex which I do have affection for . Thank you for the photos! Cheers, Filip

The silver dial
is great! Never seen in the metal and think I would be in serious doubt in comparisonto the rayon one I acquired. Thank you for the kind words and for improving immensely the pictorial quality of the thread! Awesome shots!
I am almost reaching you...
owning two rectangular. Inspired by your pics from the great GP 1945 chrono you have I´ve seriously considered acquiring one in a WG case offered to me by chance a couple of weeks ago by a colleague Grüss, Paulo
love this model
Congratulations on your acquisition! I also brought the same model 6 months ago and an wearing it now. This watch, and its Prince brother are the only Rolexes I like. Hodinkee did a great write up of this model (white dial) some time ago and worth looking...
Hey Brad
nice to know there is so much love for the Cellini Prince around the globe! Could you believe that this piece was in the verge of being sent back to Rolex due to the very long time resting at the AD shelf (or safe in this case)? I have read the article yo...
