Speaking of blue, I really like blued hands and numerals on watches.


Blue is the way to go. Also it makes things a lot more expensive, for some reason.

The 5130P has been my go-to watch for awhile now. When I saw the blue I had to have it, and it fits with most dress setups while retaining a low profile:

Both $50,000 ish platinum models.

Youch. I just couldn't do $50K for an Omega, regardless of what it's made out of. I do have a soft spot for some of the Constellations though. My first "real" watch was a black dial quartz movement day-date Constellation.

That's a gorgeous watch Blue.  Guilloche dial?  Is it a manual or automatic movement?

Wow, nice watch, Blue!


Here's a new 40mm blue hands rolex with their new calibre with 70hr reserve, increased accuracy, etc. (also $60,000, damnit)





What do you guys think of the Rolex Cellini models? The tacky side of classy?





@claritas, so I take it that watch with the erotic anime watch by Perrelet is out of the question?  :)p13

Those are generally better-looking Rolexes because . . . they don't look like Rolexes. Some have elongated Roman numerals though, which I see no reason for.

Google images shows people wearing only the white-faced version, probably because a black face with a black band has too little contrast. But I think the black-faced version would actually look understated and sharp on a black guy. (Maybe that's why Pres. Obama has a thing for black-faced watches and can pull off their look so well.)

Ha! "Oh baby, you know what I like." ;D

I kind of like that Cellini tbh. Those blue numerals are just to large for my tastes. There's only so much real estate on a dial and it just looks forced to me. I like better feng shui on my watches.

Very nice. The 5130P is one of my favorite watches.

I think it's the knurled bezel in gold that could set it over. If it were smooth it would balance better. I kind of like the face treatment and calendar movement for a Rolex though.  I don't think that takes it into full Guido mode. I think there's an Alfa Romeo charm to it overall.

Good point. The crown is a bit over-styled too. Toned down a bit and it could work in a Lake Como sort of way.
