I got the chance to get it when it was first launched too.

Nowadays there appears to be a long queue for it, at least according to my local ADs.

What are your thoughts on the Cellini Moonphase?
By: singingbee : December 13th, 2022-11:42
The last time I saw this watch in the metal was back in 2017 when it was just launched. I recalled I didn’t find it very attractive as I find the watch abit too thick and chunky as a dress watch. I recently saw it on display at my local AD and I find the ...
I almost got one

But it was not available in Sydney, and so I passed on it. Recalled calling up every single AD to ask if they had one. Many months after I saw one sitting in the store and asked to see it (wallet empty). It was a painful moment.
I believe so too

I did see one unusual version, the time only Cellini, but studded with diamonds, at the AD at that time. It is not on the catalogue.
I’ll explain why

It is quite a unique piece in many aspects. The case sides are curved, like a milgauss case, almost pebble-like. The fluting of the bezel and also the caseback is a nice feature too. And not to mention, the moonphase is one of the more beautiful moons out...
I think the second hand's length is spot on

I would second your opinion if the dial would - as most dials do - have a second/minute track on the outside rim. However, here is the calendar, and the tip of the second hand would only add a confusing element to it. Therefore, the minute/second track ha...
Yes you are right

The seconds hand was thought of properly, and hence the minute track on the inner circle.
An extraordinarily good looking watch

I think it's a beautiful and distinctive piece, although I also believe it has been unfairly slighted out there - perhaps because it's misunderstood, I wonder? For example, some people will say it's "un-Rolex", seemingly claiming that Rolex should stick t...
Love it. Came close and may still add it to the collection. Why?

Near perfect dial and an extremely elegant case. A perceived negative is the solid case back and decent, but not refined movement. But that is not what Rolex is. They make industrial calibres that really work and great, comfortable cares. And with the moo...
Wrongfully underappreciated imo.

I’d put it on my grail list if the case was between 36 and 38mm (I know I know, I’m quibbling again) and in white metal.
