Was at my local AD today



First time seeing these two beauties in person, and everyone who says the CHNR looks better in person is 10000% correct!

Both great watches! I can't wait to get one of them. Did you end of picking one of them up or were they sold?

The CHNR looks to have some scratches on the bracelet.

These pepsi’s are everywhere lately. Great wrist shot.

Had a look at the CHNR at my AD the other day and it's really really nice. Made me a convert to TT watches. At least that one. It was already spoken for however

Knowing that AD, I assume, the Pepsi was probably for display only and not for sale.

You would be correct. Both were on display and already spoken for.

I did not unfortunately. Both were already sold but are on display for a couple of weeks. The wait list for both was at around 100 people for each.

100 in line for the TT CHNR? The SS BLRO doesn't surprise me but that's a long list for a two-tone watch!

Wait, they were spoken for, but on display? For a few weeks?

I wouldn't want a piece with my name on it to be fondled by X other people before I got to it...

From what I was told, the manager of the store got permission from the clients to put them up on display, but I agree with you. I’m not sure if I would want them up there myself.

I would accept it if I could be moved up from #100 to #1 in the waitlist.
It doesn't matter to be touched by others if all the stickers are still well on the watch.
