Yet Another Incoming Thread.

Still pretty stunned i managed to get this watch from an AD.

About 2 to 3 weeks ago i happened to drop by a local AD to window shop as I spotted an Everose Yachtmaster for sale.

They also had For Display Pieces Only such as the JC and Chnr. All which i tried on for fun.

Had a nice time talking to the Manager of the store regarding the current state of situations. He enquired on my collection and i told him that i had a blue 116622 from his chain and was lucky to get a 126660 black at another AD.

Long story short i told him that i was hoping to add a GMT to my collection with my first choice being the BLRO and second being the CHNR. He told me that the CHNR would fit perfectly into my collection and didnt have a long waiting list at the moment and if i was keen he could register me on it.

I've been on multiple wait lists with a few ADs and wasn't expecting much as i have never received any calls even after 1 to 2 years.

Who knew that after less than a few weeks i got the call that they had stock for a CHNR and it was mine if i wanted it!

When i collected the watch, they mentioned that they do not like to sell to flippers and if my watch was ever found to be sold, I'll probably never be offered any other models again. I thought that was pretty ominous but I'm glad that they are at least putting some effort into doing something about the whole flipping situation going on.

Hopefully, this should be one of my last few watch purchase in awhile. But who am i kidding

In my opinion you got the hottest GMT Rolex makes at the moment. This model is sporty, dressy and incredibly classy all at the same time.
Also unique, not so many out there are seen in the wild.
Congratulations.

Best looking GMT and TT Rolex in production. Feels substantial on the wrist, and has better presence than the SS GMT references. Enjoy in good health.

Yea me too. I think the everose gold TT is alot more subtle compared to Yellow Gold TTs where its alot more loud and blingy
