Rolex 126711 CHNR "Root Beer" as an Everyday Watch
So I've been thinking about getting the two tone 126711 CHNR "root beer" for quite some time. It's been getting rave reviews from watch channels like Time & Tide, Horology House, Watchfinder, etc. And now Rolex really seems to be pushing it in the Roland Garros TV ads, so it looks like it is just calling for my cash ;).
Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but according to the AD, it won't be too difficult to get. For those on here that own it, how does it work as an everyday watch? I am interested in terms of matching it with outfits, colours, etc. I mostly wear casual stuff on a daily basis (jeans and shirt/t-shirt), don't work in an office setting, don't wear a suit. Also, does a "partly" gold watch work as an everyday timepiece? I currently own a "Batman", but if I do get the CHNR, it would probably replace it as my everyday watch. As a final point, although I'm starting to like it, I'm not sure I'm still sold on the brown. I saw it in person at the AD, but was not overwhelmed by the shade of brown, although I think it had to do with the flat lighting. However, in certain pics I've seen online, the brown turns into a coppery red, which I think looks incredible. |
