I saw a review of the CHNR on YouTube and found it to be a gorgeous piece. I currently have Batman jubilee and white ceramic Daytona. What are your overall thoughts on adding this piece to the collection? Is it as hard to get from AD as SS models?

I saw it in person. I want it. Let me enjoy my Milgauss for at least 6 months first

They got it in the same shipment as the Milgauss. I was offered it the same day I picked up my Z-blue

Oh. Cue the:

1. Are you getting it because you want it and why does hard to get matter?
2. See #1

In 3,2,1...

Haha. BTW, that is my question as well. If you love it, you will wait and be thrilled when you get it. I have the full RG version and love it. The dial/bezel combo are the stars of the show

I don't mind waiting in general but kind of exhausted of waiting and playing AD games after getting my Daytona and BLNR

Does this question really get asked that often? Seems pretty obvious why someone would want to know if a watch is hard to get. They want to know if they will have trouble sourcing it at retail...Not a whole lot to interpret there.

To the OP - The CHNR is a stunning watch that just gets better and better the more time you spend with it (in my experience at least.) It isn't the easiest to find, but not to the same extent as the hot SS pieces. I think it depends quite a bit on your location. I live in LA, and if it weren't for a fellow forum member (who has also helped multiple other members - world class guy) I'd still be waiting for the call from any of the 3 or 4 AD's I inquired with some 7 - 8 months ago.

Good luck!

Thanks for the information. I have a good relation with an AD. He didn't have it in stock but I suppose he can find it for me soon. Hard part is financially at the moment I cannot have it as addition to collection so may need to sell the BLNR and get CHNR. The financial advantage is I can probably get close to CHNR retail price for my BLNR so contemplating with the idea. But I may regret selling the BLNR later. Want to see CHNR in person before making any decisions

Totally get that. I'm not in the financial situation to own multiple luxury watches myself, so if one comes in, it usually means one has to go.

I can tell you this - I owned a BLNR briefly, and it did nothing for me. Sold it after a couple of months. The CHNR is in a completely different league IMHO. I think it is a no brainers to capitalize on the SS madness, and sell the BLNR now when you can get the most for it. Doing a lateral move from the BLNR to the CHNR is a win in my book.

Bought the TT CHNR sight unseen, didn't regret it for a second. Got it in 3 months with no AD history, but that was back in 2018 before the word was out on how nice it looked.

Every AD I have been to has told me it's their favorite TT and that they think it's nicer overall than the BLRO and BLNR.

I know taste is subjective but the RG just bangs and this seems to be the consensus among dealers who have seen all the references in person.

You already have the BLNR. I will tell you that the TT CHNR is stunning.

What if I trade my BLNR for CHNR?

Would that be bad idea? Worried about minimal wrist time for BLNR if I get the CHNR

Do not make that move buddy

There is a time and a place for both

The BLNR is a keeper

The CHNR is the most beautiful GMT on the market, I would do this trade

Get the CHNR then sell the BLNR if you really think this will happen.

Steerpike999 · 18 September 2019, 08:23 AM

It's a gorgeous watch. The Rose Gold needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate it (like many watches I guess).

In-Cog-Neeto · 18 September 2019, 08:30 AM

If you were offered it and didn’t buy it, all I can say is

You should have

A seriously nice piece. Very different to The BLNR. Much better than the full gold version

If it comes up again

Harry-57 · 18 September 2019, 08:34 AM

It's a beautiful watch. But you already knew that. I am on my AD's list for one.

Yea I like it so far but need to see in person. Too bad it was overshadowed by Pepsi in Basel 2018

It would make a nice addition and different enough to enjoy with your Blnr. I cant imagine it being any harder to get than the Blnr.
