I'm not really a fan of the Cellini line, but....

This is absolutely STUNNING. I love the vintage appeal of this watch. Another one of Tim Mosso's excellent reviews.

Tim's videos are fantastic. "Hi this is Tim, thanks for logging on." I love the Cellini line and would very much like to add a Cellini Time in rose gold at some point.

This is such a great picture. I can’t wait for my son to be of an age to want to do this!

I think I would buy one of these before a patek because I believe in most cases, Rolex watches are actually a lot of watch for the money.

I’m a fan. If I needed a dress watch it’d definitely be a contender

If this was at a 10-14k price point it would be a home run. I would love to see a stainless version in that price range.

Looked at one at my AD. They are really nice looking dress watches. Very elegant while also modern in size.

Thanks! It was pretty fun and special. And it was all his idea, which made it even cooler.

That watchbox review made me seriously consider the Cellini line for the first time.

Yeah, he had to bundle with a couple he didn’t want (Spider-Man and Paw Patrol) but got the Batman he wanted.

I can appreciate it. But not my cup of tea, at all.

If I was in need of that style of watch, definitely would be on the buy list. It’s a beautiful watch IMO.

The Celleni moonphase is an absolute stunner, the pointer date is awesome. I'd have one of these over a PP Calatrava anyday. A grail watch of mine and a current sleeper imo. I just don't understand why it doesn't get the love it deserves.

It doesn’t make sense to me either. And, as compared to the other models in the line, it doesn’t say “Cellini” on the dial, which is a big plus. I believe that if they changed the line from Cellini to Oyster Dress or something different perhaps the old connotation to the line may pass.

In person it’s a stunning watch.

Frankly Rolex is not strong in this category and has no advantage in the market. I will consider buying if the case is thinner and offering transparent back showing beautifully made movement.
