I came across this in another forum, and I thought it was pretty cool for those who want to get a taste of what Baselworld is like. *not my pics or information*

I have been fascinated by the Ressence for some time. The Lehman watches interest me, too. Thanks for posting.

I can't imagine he'd mind at all - you just posted a link, not cribbed his words/pictures or anything like that.

you won't have to dwell too long to sea which one I'll be leasing next.

Well, the SeaDweller is the best of the Rolex bunch, congrats!

The Ressence is a cool design, saw a video of one a while back, love the way the sub-dials rotate around the face.

I actually like the 'platinum' (Light) dark side of the moon, very readable. I just saw the black dark side of the moon in an Omega Boutique recently. I was disappointed. You couldn't really read the sub-dials with the glossy dial and polished hands, no contrast. I'm a sticker for readability I guess, especially on this iconic chrono.

Ressence looks pretty cool. Very unusual dial configuration. Different.

Also, I never comment on Rolex, but the Cellini is an interesting name for a watch. Benevento Cellini is an interesting choice. His Renaissance sculpture work is fabulous, but he was quite a character. I read his Autobiography many years ago and it was a surprising read.............. :shock:

Do we know?

Yes, the line introduced in 1975 is named after Benvenuto Cellini.
