And with your collection that’s saying ALOT!! Some of our newer members need to look up some of your posts

It’s also close to my favorite, it’s like a 1b to my 326935.

Steel would always be my choice. If I had to have a PM watch it would have to be WG as it is more stealthy and could pass as a SS model to the casual observer.

But once again that is just IMHO. I prefer to fly under the radar and not draw attention to myself.
This. Stainless steel for me; I'd look ridiculous wearing gold.

I appreciate all the comments and it will be a tough decision but I think the TT looks more sporty than the full gold, and I am wanting to go "sporty" on my next watch. My AD has given me my choice of either watch which he is expecting within the next two to three weeks. I'm leaning toward TT.

TT. The everose and SS is a great combination and is such a soft blend.

Now yellow gold and SS, not so much, together they are borderline obnoxious.

Both are great, but I lean towards the TT. TT is just easier to wear as it is more wear resistant to scratches and the daily grind. The RG also stands out more with the stainless contrast.

I do like both watches though.

Yeah me too....I could happily afford them but everyone would laugh and think its a fake. Gold just isn't of my era. I don't have any friends that wear it.

For these colors, I prefer the TT. For me, it's a more interesting design. The SS with the RG, brown and black makes for a nice combo, IMHO.

Totally agree. It’s just more interesting to look at. Love the contrast.

Everyone always refers to the Bluesy as the perfect “summer watch.” Is it just me or is the CHNR the perfect “winter watch”?

Thanks for the comments; and I agree. Now all I have to do is wait for the watch. Was told by my AD that it could come in anytime within the next three weeks and my name if on it.

Full gold. If it's my money though, I'm cheaping out and going TT, but Bluesy.

full gold looks better in this comparison, but i'm not a PM guy. I think not everyone can pull off wearing a fully gold watch, if that's you, I think you should go for it.
