That's the Cellinium - solid platinum, manual wind movement, and truly beautiful in the flesh

Retail is about £8000, I think. It's very reasonable, in my opinion!

I have a soft spot for the Danaos. Resale values stink though.

Kokyuryoku · 26 October 2010, 08:06 PM

I really like the Prince line. It's definitely on my wish list.

I hafta admit, I really appreciate the look of the Cellinium platinum with the black dial. It has a purposeful look that makes 99% of other dress watches look a little preshuss in comparison. I have always wanted one, haven't been able to stretch the budget that far yet. One day...

I do wish it had a sapphire back, though.

You're being silly and adversarial and hijacking a perfect good thread. I also seem to remember that you have started more than one brouhaha over someone else's unintended slight.

I'm sorry that you've had hardships in your life, but please don't hold the entire world responsible for it.

There are professionals who specialize in helping those who have experience emotional trauma in their lives and there's no shame in seeking that kind of help.

Grady, you are a scholar and a gentleman, sir. I have to admit I've learned a lot here, you have wisdom. I shall be seeking help forthwith, (to go with the 27 years of intensive psychotherapy I have already had).

There are, of course, a couple of others who exemplified the damage I was writing about by inadvertently revealing the desperate state of their own psyches. But you are a good man. I won't hijack this thread any more than just to say thank you for your wise and gentle counsel.

Only if it were red. And didn't match the hair he did have. Saw a guy like that today.

Not sure what brand of watch he had on. Could have been a Rolex, I suppose.

Thanks for the compliments.

I'm blonde, and if I had a dollar for every blonde joke I've heard in my life, I could afford to buy a Cellini! (See, technically no hijack!)

Im blond.... people tell blond jokes? Why?

ersnyder · 27 October 2010, 12:31 PM

Gotta say, that gold Prince is a beauty in my book; just don't "dress" often enough to warrant owning one.

GradyPhilpott · 27 October 2010, 12:38 PM

I think dress watches look great with "business casual," like a DJ looks good with jeans and a sweatshirt.

ersnyder · 27 October 2010, 01:03 PM

I agree, just that the Prince looks "dressier" to me than just about any other Cellini and way more dressy than other Rolex models.

welem · 27 October 2010, 01:20 PM

i love rolex on straps... i just could not justify the price for a cellini, only if they sell it a bit cheaper...

I agree. It's an exceptional design.

Here's a twin for Nancy's.

godowning · 28 October 2010, 12:55 AM

I have 2 38mm Danaos, in YG and WG, and think they are great dress watches.

walds11 · 28 October 2010, 01:15 AM

Nice. I love that WG Danaos. Some decent deals for pre-owned, but resale values stink on those. Me being a flipper, I always look at resale values.

godowning · 28 October 2010, 01:36 AM

Adam, If you find deals in the $3-4k range you are usually ok with the XL models.

Newportkrieger · 28 October 2010, 02:28 AM

But I understand they are all manual wind. Why doesnt Rolex put an automatic movement into them or does it?
