GMT CHNR “Root Beer” from AD after one week wait?
Yes!
I tried on watches last Saturday at the AD. and chose the watch I wanted. I told our SA (former neighbor and friend) which one I selected. In my first thread here, I asked if I had the cred to get a GMT CHNR “Root beer” in 3-6 months…or should I consider a grey market purchase? (Forum not allowing me to link to thread) I received good advice and appreciate the wisdom of the forum. One week later, I have my watch. Woohoo! |

Yep, the CHNR I ordered arrived 5 days later. Walked out with it right away and that was when it was released in 2018.
It’s a lovely piece. Some haven’t been so lucky but generally they come in reasonably quick compared to some references. |

Congrats, OP! I hope to one day own the CHNR as well.

Here's your thread you mentioned.
Why buy gray market? - newbie intro with ??? Congratulations. Did you mention in your first thread that you had a friend that was an SA at an Rolex AD? |

I did not. I was not sure that it was relevant as she does not work on the watch side, per se. In retrospect, it probably helped quite a bit. I need to digest this purchase before going back to the well for the next one. 😀

chnr is by far the best tt reference. Some of the Daytonas are pretty good but not as good as the chnr. Congrats!!!
Life is short, buy the watch. |

In Germany unfortunately any regular GMT is hard to buy.
