Incoming !

Cellinis are not common here, but what do you think about my new, old stock 4233? I love the vintage look and feel. I will have to get used to how thin and light it is.

The thing I love about TRF is the sheer variaty and diversity of the watches it's members have and like to show.

Please excuse my ignorance but personally have never even seen a picture of this particular watch before.

It looks fantastic and you are certainly very lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy such a piece.

Thank you for sharing and expanding my knowledge of all things Rolex.

Regards.☺️👍

I've always liked the style and they are a great value for the price of a gold rolex.

Thanks, everyone. In these times of big rhetoric and ostentation, I was drawn to go back to basics. Here is another show-off pic.

I like the cellini but it doesnt suit my style. Always great to see it on others wrists just not mine.

Congrats...

I love the dial too. Notice that the "6" is right side up, yet up side down.

Personally I'd never wear that. But I like how unique it is - if I saw someone wearing that in the wild I'd definitely go up and start a convo w them

Thanks for the compliments! I got bored with the numerous vintage-inspired re-issues, recently. (I'm talking about you, OMEGA) Decided to get a real, classic piece.
