Icon14 Basel 2014 - the 3 new Cellinis
in some ways, it's the year of the Cellini.

all three are quite nice.

at this point, i'm partial to the date version (the second set of pictures below).

Very refined ! Think Cellini will become a major dress watch contender now.

Right so the teaser was for this watch! Now I get it.

Thanks for posting. I like the duel time black dial in both red and white case.

That's not at all what I was expecting! Very nice indeed.
Is that a second time zone with a day/night indicator?

The time only is very elegant, hoping to see some more complications in the coming years.

This is my favourite at the moment. Pure timeless elegance.
Wow, Rolex becoming a serious dress watch contender, who would have thought.

Agreed. I am very close to buying a DJ Black stick steel. Were this watch available from the AD, I would take a very close look. It seems to me to now be a relevant line up, where it hasn't been (for me at least) in the past.

The Cellini is something I would think about to replace my TT DJ as my dress watch. I love the look.

I love all of these. I'll have to look to see if any of them are in SS.

I really don't have a need for them though. If I wore a suit more, I would be all over this.

Its about time they did something with the Cellini line.

I'd say a very nice entrance, although I would really have loved to see a moon phase....

The rose gold dual time just became my new grail.

I am partial to the second time zone complication and
this is the watch I would strive to own as a travel piece.

The more contemporary 39mm sizing is also a big plus.

I think folks will take a fresh look now at the Cellini line.

Although part of the Cellini range, these cases do have more than a hint of classic Oyster cases. Very elegant, and as usual, Rolex kept us guessing right up until the last minute!

Anyone know if this has a clear see thru caseback and if it has a tang or deployant buckle? No info or pics of back on Rolex website.
