Rolex

I own a blue-dial datejust 36mm and GMT-Master II Black/Blue.   I'm very interested in the retro look of the Cellini Prince, the guilloche on dial and on movement seen through transparent caseback.   So different from the sporty Rolex bracelet look, especially manual, see-though back and in yellow gold similar to 1930s- a half-century before everose.  Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I was very tempted by the white gold soleillé dial. An amazing Watch in picture, a bit disappointing when you see it in the real, because of its thick and bold case...

If thinner, I would have Grabbed one.

Yes, very different, and interesting offer from Rolex. But have a look in the real. if you are ok with the case, then jump on it!

Best,

.....but i do know what you mean...it has a strange attraction. I appreciate this is the Rolex forum etc etc, but I also considered the Prince, but after deciding against, I did pay a lot more attention ...oddly...to the Patek Elipse. 

and I like it due to the fact it's different, under the radar and it quite surprises people when they realized its a Rolex.

Another thing is the rarity....or maybe it's not that popular because most dealers maybe just have 1~2 pieces on hand.

I also like the fact that I can see the decorated movement, though it's window and leather clasp sometimes make it hard to see because you have to tilt it. This is different from the buckle design leather straps.

The manual winding feel is good, sounds good as well, very useful 72 hrs PR and it's accurate...I synced it with my Daytona and PP often.

One thing for the WG is it's kinda soft, and because it's a block...you'll noticed it.

When you wipe it, fine scratches may appear if your cloth or micro-fiber has some particles.

You can check some of my earlier post...it still hides under my cuff well. Good luck.
