Haven seen one in my ad. And instead of a dj as my dresswatch. Am i mad to tink of getting a cellini as my dress watch.

It looks real nice on catalog n youtubes

Yellowfury · 27 November 2021, 01:13 AM

Not at all. I’d also check out some other brands to gauge if it’s the dress watch style you like or if what you like specific to the Cellini.

MadSpaniard · 27 November 2021, 01:50 AM

Do you like the watch? Then it's not crazy.

I have the Moonphase and definitely recommend it, has a classy, sophisticated and distinctive look, and it's also a little chunky to remind you it's tough, like a Rolex should be. I also have the Explorer 1 39mm - the watches complement each other very nicely.

People say the Moonphase is pricey compared to dress watches from Patek, Lange or JLC. It is admittedly pricey, but it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison when you factor in price with complications from each brand (i.e. date and moonphase).

Take your time, make a well-considered decision, based on what you like now, and what you think you'll like longer term. Cheers.

I am in love with the moon phase, so no I don’t believe you are crazy. Buy what sings to you!!

It’s a beautiful watch,,,,
Whether it sings to you or not is the most important thing,,,
Try a couple of on and go from there,,,

I love the Rolex Cellini … all of the new releases. The size is perfect, to me. Simple, elegant, classic.
And … a good value as compared to other brands like watches.

Dufresne · 27 November 2021, 02:17 AM

Not crazy at all. It’s fantastic.

Meh, they do nothing to me but at the same time it's because for the money I'd rather have something that doesn't look like "a round watch".

Great choice, go for it!

hutch300 · 27 November 2021, 03:09 AM

I'd check out JLC - in my opinion its a great brand for a dress watch.

Well as it is a dress watch and a DJ isn't, I wouldcsay no you aren't.

TunaTuna · 27 November 2021, 05:16 AM

Are you buying because u like it, or going with the crowd?

justcruisin · 27 November 2021, 05:19 AM

Great discussion here from last year - "Cellini or Lange Saxonia?"

Laostuh · 27 November 2021, 05:44 AM

As other's have said, not if you like it. If I ever get a Cellini it would have to have the Moonphase.

I think to call the Cellini buyers a “crowd” might overstate how many people are actually interested. I think a gaggle might be a better indication

It's a classy and different watch and doesn't look like other Rolexes which is completely ok. Go for it if you like it.

szabo_martin · 27 November 2021, 06:45 AM

Great watch at a great price.. not sure what's not to like?

Farsh14 · 27 November 2021, 06:50 AM

I think other brands do the “dress watch” better as far as looks and also bang for your buck

Farsh14 · 27 November 2021, 06:50 AM

Think other brands do dress watches better with more variety. More bang for your buck. Rolex seems pretty limited in this department.

173rdabn · 27 November 2021, 07:09 AM

Why not? Great watches.

GMT Aviator · 27 November 2021, 07:28 AM

If you like it then buy it. I really like the Cellini’s.

I actually ordered one through my AD (Cellini Date in RG with silver dial), but I fear it will never show up. Also, as they couldn’t specify a delivery date, if one at all, I ended up buying a vintage RG Day Date 1803. And in fact, I couldn’t be happier.

The Cellini is a unique watch. It has the durability to be a daily and doubles as a fine dress watch with out being paper thin and overly delicate. It will be way more robust than a Calatrava for instance and as much as I like the JLC offerings, again they are too thin for my taste being dress watch only.

Considering the above, the Cellini sits in a niche by itself making it unique.

WalterW · 27 November 2021, 07:54 AM

Great watches get the Obama moon phase. On a side note, is it pronounced CHEL-Lini or SELL-lini

myporsche · 27 November 2021, 08:41 AM

Since your asking a public forum, yes crazy and not in a good way, when there are so many other options available at this price point. You can get into high horology rather than paying the Rolex name, it's almost lazy to settle for Cellini when there is so much more in the watch world.

szabo_martin · 27 November 2021, 09:21 AM

15K for a gold Rolex MSRP is pretty reasonable in my view.... I don't know many high horology gold watches in that price range. Also keep in mind that Rolex is a tank, so for a daily reliability Id say you're hard pressed to find better.

TheDapperYank · 27 November 2021, 10:21 AM

I actually really like the Cellini, I think it gets a lot of flack for no real good reason. Yeah the older ones were gaudy messes, but the recent iteration is pure class.

Kinnakeet · 27 November 2021, 10:33 AM

Several times I have considered the moon phase Cellini. Very nice looking watch.

Malum · 27 November 2021, 10:57 AM

No . I really like the Cellini date but I don’t have many occasions for a dress watch .
