Not another would you...

A few months ago I posted back to back threads (one day after the other) about doing a trade + cash for a 126715 CHNR or a rose gold DD. I've come to the conclusion that RG isn't really my thing.

I do love it on the TT 127611 CHNR but the appeal wore off rather quickly once I got it. I still think it looks great and it is, arguably, the best looking GMT but its not what I gravitate to when I go to my watch box. This is the 2nd GMT I've had and it'll be the 2nd Rolex that I'm moving on from, so I'm coming to the realization that I'm just not a GMT guy.

Anyways, I'm moving the CHNR plus my PAM 1392 for a WG DD40 olive. I'm obviously adding cash to the deal as well.

Didn't want to add another poll since I've already decided what I'm doing. Should have it in the next day or two. Very excited!

Great choice! Can’t go wrong with a DD. You will love the bracelet for sure! It’s just mesmerizing when you look down at it!

Congrats on your soon to arrive DD! Not a fan of the olive dial but it is quite popular and I am sure you will love it. I have the CHNR and love it as it fits a niche in my collection. I cannot do all RG but the TT works for me.

I want to add a WG DD but looking at the silver dial with baguettes or the meteorite dial. Post pics of your new watch!

Olive is always a fabulous choice regardless of if WG or RG.

OK, good you've come to this decision quickly, move to another option. Good luck, hope the DD does it for you

The blue is great, but I'm drawn to the olive!

The TT CHNR is a great watch. I still think it looks amazing and is by far the best TT in the catalogue. I'm not sure what it is; it just doesn't make the wrist. Who knows...it's always the chase to get it that's the bigger thrill I guess.

The RG olive is spectacular as well; I just don't think I'm a RG guy.

Great choice, love the DD, buy and wear what makes you happy

I flipped 2 Daytona’s (both less than a week old and arrived at the same time) that I got and didn’t like which just about got me a free WG DD
