Thanks @Chiboy. Would you say out in bright sun around noon that it your photo or Bobernet's photo is a more realistic representation or how it looks?

For context, I love how the CHNR looks indoors, but then if walking around under sunny weather the brown in the bezel just doesn't do it for me. So trying to make sure I don't buy the Platona, walk outside and then go ugh.

A) I would say that the milk chocolate brown that you see on Richis1' picture just above is very realistic. Honestly, I spent three months in Naples this winter and don't remember ever looking at my bezel and thinking, "Ugh, so brown, what a mistake."

B) If you are seriously thinking about buying one, especially at today's prices, I would think an AD would let you take it outside or at least stand in front of a sunny window if you go on the right day.

C) Honestly, 90% of the time it looks almost black to me, but I've never thought the watch didn't look great even in direct sun.

Good luck. It's a big decision!
