Short minute hands, superfluous minute markers, weird Roman numerals, boring design. No thanks.

The new Cellini Dual Time, however, works for some reason.

Degas · 30 March 2014, 10:32 PM

I think that the Dual time is very nice

Old Expat Beast · 30 March 2014, 10:47 PM

Boring. I'd rather buy the new Longines Conquest or even the new Bulova Accutron (gold on leather) if I needed a dress watch.

up2nogood · 30 March 2014, 11:03 PM

Dunno what happened there. Wouldn't load.....

up2nogood · 30 March 2014, 11:05 PM

I'm happy to leave dress watches, they do nothing for me whatsoever! Still, I can appreciate the dual time as being a step in the right direction for Rolex.

I like simplicity and the classic look. I personally think vintage fans like me will be all over this line.

GB-man · 30 March 2014, 11:43 PM

I won't be buying one, because I lean towards sports watches. That said, I like the aesthetics in pictures and assume they will only be better in real life.

77T · 30 March 2014, 11:44 PM

I've never liked watch uni-taskers. Meaning watches that are only apropos in single settings like fragile dress series, or clownish huge adornments.

Der Meister · 30 March 2014, 11:52 PM

For that type of watches, i prefer Patek Philippe! The cellini date and dual time looks good but i really don't like the Rolex crown on the dial..too big for a classic watch!..a painted logo like on the exp1 looks much nicer for a classic watch.

Tudor66 · 31 March 2014, 12:27 AM

I like the look of the dual time and this date model. I am more of a sports Stainless owner, but these two could end up on my wrist some day...

J Scott · 31 March 2014, 12:34 AM

Thanks for posting the link.

I really like the WG Time model.

capote · 31 March 2014, 01:51 AM

Love it

GradyPhilpott · 31 March 2014, 03:10 AM

I like it a lot. The only problem for me is the price, which some have suggested will be around $12,000.

I might like to get one after some begin to hit the used market, although I'll be quite old by then and may have lost interest in accumulating more watches.

This is certainly not the board for Cellini, as sports watches dominate here.

jay1988 · 31 March 2014, 03:53 AM

39mm is what the DDII's and DJII's should have been imho.

I doubt I'll ever own any but they're beautiful watches. I'd love to see a platinum version.

I agree completely.

The Joker · 31 March 2014, 04:40 AM

Like the date and dual time a lot.

Is Cellini pronounced like that? Chill-lini.

The Joker · 31 March 2014, 04:41 AM

Hate that people turn their noses up because it's not a "sport" model whatever that is.

HogwldFLTR · 31 March 2014, 04:56 AM

I think all of them are beautiful. If I had need they'd be on my list for certain. Reminds me of my Dad's dress watch which I wear occasionally (only with modern design influences). Need to do something about the strap.

Chainring · 31 March 2014, 05:19 AM

I like them all, especially the dual time. Unfortunately probably won't make it into the collection but would love it.

Cellini is pronounced "Chellini", like cello is pronounced "chello."

Thanks Grady. Didn't know that.

sierra11b · 31 March 2014, 05:29 AM

The date and dual time models are pure class.

jjnd08 · 31 March 2014, 05:32 AM

Not sure if I like the dual time. The two hands at the bottom are a little much. But I love the date model.

I'm with you. I think it looks great. However I've never owned a watch with leather strap. I like mine to have some weight and I guess that's why the majority of all mine have the newer bracelets. But tastes change over time. I also thought I've never be into two-tone watches either but now my 116613lb is my absolute favorite until Monday. Hopefully. Lol. Still waiting on FedEx.

subtona · 31 March 2014, 05:37 AM

Just curious doesnt a duel time watch require a date?
Without it seems half done.

jshepard · 31 March 2014, 06:10 AM

The recent models from Cellini is seriously making me reconsider getting a JLC Reverso or Master Control as my dress watch. The edge still goes to JLC because of their reputation with dress watches, but not by a whole lot for me at this point.
