Hello TRF family!

First I want to take a minute to thank all of these forum members for providing such great information. I joined this site about 8 years ago and have been active with no post ever since. I plan to share my knowledge I have gained to help others as you all have done for me. I have been into Rolex watches for as long as I can remember. My father always used to talk about them and that created my love for quality time pieces.

Long story short, I purchased my first Rolex when I had my daughter and that was also the same month I turned 30. I felt it was an amazing way to mark the mile stones. I purchased a Sub C. Having other watches such as Omega and Breitling just did not scratch the itch. This however was what I have always wanted.

Fast forward to this past month I have been having another itch, the CHNR. Having put a deposit down at one AD that I have a history with and really no guarantee in sight I decided to continue my mission to find one in stock. Most AD’s basically told me 6 months or more or simply have no idea. Looking for roughy a couple weeks I decided to stretch my radius out and call one last AD. When I called I knew it would be a long shot and when they told me it was in stock I jumped in the car and drove about 2.5 hours to get it.

The owner of this AD was there and made me feel really appreciated for the business. We spoke for quite awhile and he seen my passion and being a WIS. He even gave me some Rolex swag as well. Experience like none other. So, enough with the small talk I know we all want the pics so here we go!

Congratulations! I think the CHNR is a stunner and it complements your Sub Date so well. Enjoy the heck out of it, it looks great on you!

Congrats! We are watch twins. I too have had my SubC for a long time and picked up my CHNR a day ago. It’s so beautiful in person.
