Incoming CHNR Root Beer GMT (Warning: leather strap included)

I love my leather strap (and TT bracelet), and I don’t care who knows it :)

Whoa! That’s beautiful- on bracelet and on strap. Congrats!!

I am normally not a leather strap kinda person, but I have to admit that it looks great on your CHNR! That color goes perfectly with it. :thumbsup:

I love changing between different straps and bracelets with my watches from other brands, but hadn't done it with any (modern) Rolex because every picture I'd seen of one on anything other than the stock bracelet looked terrible to me. This, though, actually looks nice! :thumbsup:

Great piece! Congrats ‘ :thumbsup:

The Choco bezel definitely lends itself to that brown strap. Best I’ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats ! And normally I don’t think the maxi case looks good on leather , but this is an exception- works well!

Thanks, everyone! I didn’t like most of the other leather straps I had seen with the CHNR. I just got my watch in today and, luckily, this old strap I had works perfectly (IMO). For those that are curious, I forget the name of the company, but it’s made from repurposed WW2 leather ammunition pouches.

I call this version (with the brown leather strap), “The S’more” :)

Congratulations! I think it actually looks pretty good on the leather :thumbsup:

Don't normally like leather or rubber on a Rolex, but that particular strap and watch combo looks great!

Wow, looks fantastic!

jenedla 24 April 2019 09:30 AM

Looks fantastic!

abozz 24 April 2019 09:31 AM

Both looks great!!

I'd stick with the bracelet; for whatever reason the vintage strap just doesn't look as good with the ceramic insert. If you like it that's really all that matters.

SPMN 24 April 2019 09:46 AM

I think the colors look great, but like others say I just don’t like how maxi cases look on leather.

Beautiful watch!

Chloe&Harley 24 April 2019 09:46 AM

Congrats both look fantastic

Boaters 24 April 2019 09:49 AM

Great piece congrats

drtii 24 April 2019 10:49 AM

OK. So I was one of many that already liked the TT bracelet a lot, but that leather strap looks way better. It works seamlessly.

hodie9 24 April 2019 11:42 AM

Looks great. Dangerous 9 makes straps out of vintage Swiss army ammo pouches like that. Very cool. Congrats.

stylinleems 24 April 2019 11:54 AM

Love the look of the leather strap ... Congrats!!

ltmgeller 24 April 2019 12:11 PM

Congrats!

Indepth 24 April 2019 12:17 PM

I have to ask, because I’m a fellow Audi S/RS lover - which model?

Navarino 24 April 2019 12:18 PM

Congrats on the lovely CHNR. I am usually not a fan of putting the GMT on any kind of strap...but I think this looks fantastic and is a great way to add some variety to the watch.

What kind of leather strap is this? I'd love to get one once I win the CHNR giveaway :chuckle:

037 24 April 2019 12:23 PM

Leather doesn't look bad at all. I'm not sold on the multicolored bracelet, however. :chuckle:

dkg1616 24 April 2019 12:24 PM

Look great!! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in the photos!

Definitely a good way to dress it down and change it up!

Odie-r 24 April 2019 12:26 PM

I like it both ways. Stunning watch. Congrats!

aphil 24 April 2019 12:27 PM

I've always admired the CHNR. Never as much as I did now after seeing it on that leather strap. Jaw-dropping yet extremely classy.

george023 24 April 2019 12:55 PM

Congrats. Both look good.

Damn you. You just cost me over 10 grand.

That looks AMAZING.
