    I should stop by my AD and take a gander at the Cellini's one of these days. Nowadays I don't typically go that dressy but if I recall there is a model or two that one could probably play either way, at least into dress casual territory.

    Personally, I wouldn't get the new OP. Lack of easylink is a deal-killer for me.

    How about a YM II?

    I've never really paid any attention to the Yachtmaster II. I'll have to look it up. That colour combination wouldn't be the one for me, but I can see that looking pretty smart in a bit more subdued finish. That's the 116681?

    I tried the yellow gold one on. It was awful.

    Everything is awful in yellow gold.

    It's the 116680.
    Honestly, it doesn't look bad in person. It's just too big for me...and I can't deal with the "yachmaster" on the bezel.

    Really? I liked it a lot. A heavy chunky hunk of gold. I only like it in yellow gold. Not a fan of the others.

    I kind of hate yellow gold. And it reads terribly on my skin.

    I'm not a lot of of help but I am a big fan of no date watches. Some watches can pull it off, like the Monaco, if it doesn't interrupt the symmetry. Anymore I look at my watches that have a date and wish it wasn't there. Why don't more companies follow the Rolex model of offering watches with and without dates?

    I think Nomos has examples of date (datum) and no date versions of some watches.
