Sure was. One of the most beautiful watches I have EVER seen. Pictures kind of do not do justice to it. Was picked up within an hour of being delivered. Amazing. 1 of 50 made.

The watch is the first COSC chronometer certified jump-hour.

And since I'm already making a thread, i'll post a few pics of one of my favorite Rolex. The 5443/9

vitacura · 20 November 2007, 01:44 PM

Wow.. a beautiful pair of watches! And one of only 50, what a rare beauty!

I can't imagine what that Breitling costs!

eduardogmtii · 20 November 2007, 01:47 PM

i wouldnt pay a dime for that breitling... it looks cheap

Tools · 20 November 2007, 01:53 PM

The Breitling Bentley is one or my favorites.............

But not like that..... A bit to over the top for me....

if 140k sounds cheap, you sir are a true baller :)

Once again, on screen vs on your wrist = no comparison. its in 18kw

CoopJr · 20 November 2007, 01:55 PM

Even a monstrosity like that

Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder.....but if someone was offering it to you for a dime, you might well have second thoughts

.

I do love the Prince with the transparent caseback and the modern but classic dual dial.

Class all the way

Jedi · 20 November 2007, 01:56 PM

Is the Rolex Celini Prince COSC?

YEs right? 'Cos Rolex wants all current watches to be certified??

When I saw that Prince pic I got kind of light-headed. I guess I'm heading down the path of WIS-dom. Didn't think it would happen to me.

ashu2289 · 20 November 2007, 03:08 PM

Congrats and thnx for sharing such a rare beauty

David1971 · 20 November 2007, 04:16 PM

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

JJ Irani · 20 November 2007, 04:19 PM

Thanks for sharing, but in all fairness, neither one of those watches appeals to me. I don't care for square watches and all that diamond bling is way over the top.

Also, that one skeletal hand in the centre on the Breitling pisses me off!!

It was a special request by one of my customers. That's why it was gone within an hour. It was tough getting it in but I was able to scoop up the last one...

and yes amex black

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 November 2007, 05:38 PM

Well, the Breitling is too blingy for my taste, but nevertheless congrats on that one!

I like the Prince!

I guess the crown is a simple pull-out version on that one?

arttay10 · 20 November 2007, 06:35 PM

Its a different world - but nice to see what watches some people choose when money is obviously, is not the issue....

Krill - What a fantastic job you have, seeing and transacting with watches of that calibre

Thani · 20 November 2007, 11:20 PM

nice watches... congrats on both !! and wear them in good health

my fav jumping hours movement is the Gerald Genta Bi-retro.. amazing

marshallr47 · 20 November 2007, 11:29 PM

Great looking watches. Thanks for sharing.

Rockrolex · 21 November 2007, 12:17 AM

The Breitling might look good on my wife's wrist, but it's certainly not my style.

I'm not a big fan of square/rectangular watches, but that Rolex is very nice. I think I could wear that one.

frostie · 21 November 2007, 12:19 AM

Not my taste thanks for sharing though.

SLR · 21 November 2007, 12:42 AM

My sister recently bought a $50K+ watch, a cartier tankissime with diamonds. And she's not thrilled with it. She was going for a 'little over the top' look to wear on special evenings out. That breitling looks nicer to me...

oh no, lol. Neither of them are mine. The Breitling is a bit out of my price range, and the Prince is too small for my wrist. I just haven't had a Prince in stock for a while so decided to post pics when it recently came in and the Breitling was for a customer.

yes, it is just a pull-out just like on every Cellini i've seen so far. These are definately dress watches, most are hand-wind mechanical, not automatic, very few even quartz. Precious metals only :) (i'm sure you know that but just throwing it out there)

You know, I am not as thrilled with tankissime either. I like the Francaise much more in that combo.

Julian,Sea Dweller · 21 November 2007, 06:09 AM

To much bling , just think what a great collection 140k would let you purchase:
Patek / Lange / more Rolex's / F P Journe etc.
Did some Rap artist or drug dealer buy it??
The jumping hour window would really confuse me , its where the date should be!!
Is it 6 o'clock or the 6th?

Thani · 21 November 2007, 06:13 AM

since it came in an armored truck does it come in a special box?? can u show us the box please?? id really like to see, thanks

f16570 · 21 November 2007, 06:14 AM

A small tase of what money can bring. Thanks for sharing these watches.
Sorry not my bag, but I will not let the wife see either

hahahaha. Sir, when you spend this kind of money on a watch, you already HAVE all of the mentioned above. Trust me, this customer's collection is beyond belief. Just for TINY starters think....

116758SA, 116758SANR WITH 74768 bracelet, the 116759SANR with 74769 bracelet.....

timetravel125 · 21 November 2007, 07:56 AM

I believe, taste, may it be in cuisine or watches, vary from culture to culture. When it comes to timepieces, individual taste is key. Whatever floats the person's boat is paramount--not how the watch is advertised or made.

My 2 cents.

jhowton · 21 November 2007, 08:05 AM

Imagine how many people will think that that's a fake...
