The last time I posted a picture of it, the response from these tossers was very poor.

Most of them did not like it and some preferred the old vintage model.

If you get a Prince, get the one with the limited edition Purple Rain dial.

You're most welcome, mon ami!

Just to be fair, remember Red Barchetta? Now that's an 80s song worth being stuck in your head.

If you like YYZ, pick up the DVD Rush in Rio. They do it live and the Brazillian fans sing along (for those not in the know, YYZ is instrumental).

Thanks for the advice (hahahahaha). My personal best (album) is Moving Pictures

Yes - I would say it ranks right up there for me as well!

Glad to see we have yet another Rush fan on the board.........

BTW I heard on the radio today that due to the release Rush's new DVD R30, VH1 is going to have 48 straight hrs of Rush on this weekend starting Fri night. Check local listings.

The new prince is oh sooooo nice. However, at ~$12K USD with a laughable resale value, I just don't think I'll be picking one up anytime soon.

dman · 11 January 2006, 03:18 PM

I handled one for the first time last week. I was blown away by the finish and exhibition back. I liked it alot more in person than in the pics and I am no fan of dres watches. It is worth looking at IMHO.

While I like the new Prince (any new design from Rolex is appreciated) I think they should release a stainless steel example that's a bit more affordable. $15k for a Cellini is a bit steep. I'd be willing to drop $6k for an SS version though.

Replicas of the watch already exist, such that they are. They wouldn't fool anyone though, first of all BECAUSE they're stainless steel.

Examples are posted on my site: http://www.replicawatchreport.com/si...ellini-Prince/

Talk to Frans about that.

I think the new Prince (from photos anyway) is too blingy and doesn't have the same classiness as the original Rolex Prince.

The benchmark for rectangular watches is the JLC Reverso, and if you compare the Reversos in the 1930s and the modern day Classique or Grand Taille, there isn't that much difference.

Rolex could have mounted a big challenge to the Reverso with a s/s model that retained the great looks of the original.
