they are speaking about an Automatic Chronometer movement.

Does anyone have infos how the movement looks like?
I guess that it will be different to the ones from the Oyster range.

Now that would be exciting news, if they issued a flat inhouse Automatic movement!

Do the new Cellinis have clear casebacks?

looking over the e-brochure, there is no mention of sapphire back: http://www.rolex.com/content/dam/rol..._models_en.pdf


even with the finer case and dial treatment, rolex remains true to its roots and is not doing intricately finished movements to look at through a clear case back.

that's fine with me, because robust and reliable is more than enough.

Three things:

1. They look wonderful.
2. An occasional dress piece (for me) does not need a second time zone or date. Date is less useless, but still useless.
3. I don't think I can buy a Rolex dress watch.

Number three is actually the biggest problem for me

Now those look very nice! I love the date model and the second timezone one is very lovely, I quite like the day/night indicator.

I am pleased with what Rolex has done with the Cellini range. Loving that radial dial.

Wow what a surprise.
Love them all.

Time for a new Cellini.
Wonder if my AD will take a nib w/g manual wind Danaos in trade.

+several above; I think if Rolex would put the time, craftsmanship, design and effort into it, it could successfully move Cellini into the JLC, AP, PP, VC neighborhood.

beautiful watches but the teaser video had me so set on moon phase that I'm going to take a while to circle back to these

I think that was just clever misdirection on the part of Rolex.

The word "Cellini" is derived from Greek/Latin root that means "Moon"..

I think the Moon in the teasers was a nod to the Cellini line as a whole, and not to a particular moon-phase complication.

And I'm loving these new Cellinis.. the "date" model in particular.

They've really stepped up to the plate with these. Some real 'Patekesque' contenders there.

Not to be a buzz-kill, but I would have liked to have seen a simple white dial with a more traditional moon phase. And for $15K, give or take, I wouldn't want it to be dainty - I'd want it to have a little heft.

the pricing information has been posted above starts from 12,000 to 18,000

personally the dual time is beautiful however I cant justify the price tag starting at 12,000 i'm sure the silver model is white gold however I will wait for someone to clarify
