This one is to join the CHNR enablers’ club

Over the summer, I was offered the CHNR twice by my AD. I turned it down both times, without ever seeing it. I wanted the BLRO and wouldn’t mind waiting for it.

Then, I see all these wrist shots and incomings, I decided the next time I get the opportunity, I will buy the CHNR.

What a beautiful watch. The rose gold is very subtle indoors. The bezel is unique and not in your face like my TT 116313LB SubC. It feels a bit heavier than my GMT BLNR. Although, I have not tried to weigh them. I will enjoy this watch for a very long time.

Here are some pictures.

Welcome to the club! IMO the CHNR is the best looking GMT watch out of the bunch (I may be biased though)

Thank you, club members. The rose gold bezel/bracelet combo is just stunning on this watch. Much better combination than yellow gold.

I love my z-blue Milgauss and the dial on the bluesy SubC. Rolex has done an amazing job on the CHNR.

Congrats! This to me is one of the most beautiful watches Rolex makes, and it is so versatile in TT. I have the all RG version, and even so I still find myself drooling over the TT whenever I see pictures of it.

There is a certain warmth and charm to this watch which completely surpassed my expectations. The wrist presence is off the scale for what is in reality, a conservatively sized piece.

Whilst I am still on the list for the BLRO, I find myself less and less concerned about when it finally will turn up, the CHNR is arguably the more rewarding to own.

Same. I agree.

OP, congrats on a wonderful watch.

I had the BLRO, and Batman on my wish list, then when I got the CHNR I decided to just stick with one of them (whichever comes first). Now I don’t want another GMT. The CHNR more than scratched the GMT itch, and a little bit more.

A very nice looking watch!

I tried one on in all rose gold last week. I think that I like the two tone model better. Enjoy yours!

Thank you all. The next one on my list is the BLRO, just because I have never had a Pepsi or coke GMT before. It will be a great addition to my GMT IIc LN and BLNR, and complete my GMT collection.

Leave it up to Rolex to come up with a watch of this beauty and caliber at the suggested retail price point they sell for.

I love it. I bought the gold and black TT GMT and I absolutely love it. I have a BLNR and a Hulk, but I am thinking about trading the Hulk for another GMT. Thinking about the CHNR. The TT is heavier than a SS GMT for sure. I love the little extra heft on the TT models but I am leaning toward the RG CHNR as my one and only PM piece.

We think alike...

I traded my hulk for a TT CHNR 2weeks ago...

This week I traded TT CHNR for FG CHNR PLUS Cash!

Hope I made the right call... feels right for me.

Such a fantastic watch. I bought the TT CHNR in May and I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it.
