Do you know Rolex comes in different shapes and sizes?

Oops...sorry.

After working at an AD and handling so many "common" Rolex watches, I felt like the Cellini Prince stood out as special - so I got one for myself. I can only hope that Rolex will revisit the rectangular form factor again in the near future!

I like it too, winding is silky smooth....

Although I doubt they will revisit after seeing how "popular" these are

I thought the Cellini Prince line was discontinued a few years ago?

Are they making a comeback for the 3rd time? Perhaps with thinner cases than the ones from a few years ago?

It is, this is the older Rectangular WG 5441/9 which nobody seems to like it because it doesn't look like a Rolex to show and tell...

You can get this WG piece, manual winding and accurate Rolex easier and lower than SS models. I think it's a great reason, maybe get a set of 4?

I love the movements and the concept but personally I think they overdid it on the case sizes

IMHO, if they made them with cases similar in size (length and thickness) to the original vintage Prince models, these would have been flying off the shelves. These were made during the height of the Panerai big watch craze (mid-2000s) so I think that's w... 

My AD told me Rolex required them to get whole set of 4 and it was really slow moving...

I think it’s easy for Rolex to make this a hot item, if they want to.

Yes, the original is classic 👍🏻

And I’ll not publish anymore photos of this 😂

I like this reference so much...

that I got both WG and RG versions. Almost got the YG as well, but refrained. Too much is too much. For an interesting reason, the RG is a better fit for my wrist, however my wife took possession of it. Please don´t take me wrong, I am not complaining: Th... 

There is one I like a lot.

Exactly, Sir!

forgot there is a silver dial version as well. Mine is like the one in this great picture. Thanks!

So that means...

you got a good taste even subconsciously!

Too kind! Mutual compliment, then!

This watch is one of my fav rolex models if not my favorite if the Rainbow did not exist (I like my bling :p ) I was very surprised when I learned about this model as not many watch makers have shaped watch movements and was very happily surprised that ro... 

You’re welcome and I also like to be a contra player...
