Rolex

I´m relatively new to the world of Rolex. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was yet to own one, situation which gladly changed when I seized the opportunity to buy a 1675 (of which I´ll post pictures later), and I will also be the happy owner of a 16610 LV in early June. Now, needless to say, I am hooked on Rolex.

All my thanks and respect to the people writing on this forum, for their contributions greatly sparked my thirst for brand knowledge and the desire to start collecting Rolexes. Hence my next question. Is there any glory in the Cellini Collection? I like most of them, and I am acquainted with them since my father owns two, but since I´ve hardly seen any comments regarding them I was just wondering why are they overlooked by collectors and in this case PuristS?

Thanks and best regards,

Alex

is definitely associated with the concept of toolwatch. The Rolex people have performed so many breakthroughs and technical achievements in their sportswatches, that their contribution in the dress watch area appears quite poor in comparison.

I must add that I personaly don't like the design of their Cellilnis... just my 0.02 cts.

for the money, you can do much better

Prince Cellini in WG...



In pic, absolutely fantastic watch...Nice, gorgeous, it look s very dressy...
I want to a Rolex AD to have a closer look on it, and....
Big deception!
The case is very thick, the dial is not an open dial, and looks very small compraed to the case..
The strap is thick too, and not that nice...
I was just deceived...As when you meet a gorgeous girl you saw in pic and not that nice in reality...
I passed on it, and very happy without.
Best.

Nicolas,

Sorry to hear that the Prince proved to be a big dissapointment to you. I concur with you on the cluttered dial. What I won´t deny is the decoration they made to the movement, proves to be one worth staring at for hours at a time. In my humble opinion and limited knowledge.

I am sure you will find something more appealing to you in a tank case.

Personally, the type of Cellini I am most fond of is the 5116, which is part of their Classic Line. The only downside is that the case size is a bit small. Gladly the folks at JLC came out with the Ultra Thin this year at a very decent 38mm...I will have to check it out...

Best,

Alex
