New from Basel 2003 – Rolex Cellinium

Hi Folks;

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I quite like the new 38mm model.

One thing that has convinced me is that although it is quite a slim dress watch it is still waterproof to 30m (100ft), in truth deeper than most divers ever go; although how well the crocodile strap would hold up under water is quite another question.

Despite the 30m rating it uses a pressure fit back and a non screw down crown (which I am prepared to bet owes something to the long gone Super Oyster).

To me what makes it a dress watch is the subsidiary seconds dial and the black croc strap.

BTW the black dial will NOT be available on the smaller version, only on this larger version.

Good Luck
