Went to AD yesterday to check the SS climate & tried on these 2 beauties.

Full RG CHNR. While the watch has presence and is a very attractive piece, it felt alittle too subdued. I felt a bit underwhelmed. Then I was surprised to find a DJ41 blue dial. Looked magnificent in person. Absolutely stunning piece. As soon as I took it off my wrist, some one bought it.

I have to say i disagree about the CHNR in RG. I think it's beautiful and recently tried one myself. The RG has a harmony that is tough for the TT to match and the bezel is tough to capture in photo how nice it really is with a RG case.

The DJ is very nice as well

Agree. Love my CHNR. The best of the current GMT II.

Looks much better in this pic. I must say, I’m not a fan of the lighting in most AD shops. I wanted to take a step outside and check out the watch but was afraid to ask, hah.

You're right AD lighting can certainly vary. I'm a fan of natural light myself!

I saw that exact same combo at a dealer in Dusseldorf yesterday, along with a RG and WG Daytona.
