Rolex CHNR on Oyster SS GMT bracelet

I am wondering how the Rolex CHNR will look on an Oyster SS bracelet.
Has anyone tried this ?

I think the TT looks the best on the TT bracelet they come with. They complement each other so well. I think the look of a full SS bracelet with a TT case looks odd.

I’ve wondered the same exact thing. I have a pic but don’t have enough posts to add a photo unfortunately. Maybe I can send via DM? (Btw it still looks great)

Nevertheless, while they both look good I’m not a big fan of PCL and the glidelock feature is awesome.

It wouldn't be my first choice of a bracelet. Now a TT RG Jubilee could be interesting if they were offered ...

I can see an oyster flex but not an SS bracelet.

Might look good. I think the brown tones of that watch look great, but since I’m such a casual dresser it’s hard to pull off TT for me. Too much bling. A little gold on the watch head with more modest bracelet may work. Another note, I always thought this watch looks amazing on brown leather but ya need to have the right brown.

Mmm...that would be nice on a jubilee.

I too wouldn’t mind seeing this on a steel strap, maybe a brushed Glidelock? As Wayne said above, I remember someone doing it with a Bluesy and it looked great.

Its been done on here by a member swapping out what I remember to be his SD bracelet.

It toned the watch down a lot, as to be expected, and didn't look half bad.

Having said that, I think a TT RG Jubilee would really hit the spot best, and that's been tried as well.

I imagine Rolex may eventually offer that option for it as it lends itself to that very well.

Horrible. I have a CHNR...please don't put some other strap or bracelet on it. That is so redneck when people do that. I don't see the reason:-)

Just ordered a Bergeon 7825 . When it comes in I will swap my 126710BLNR bracelet with my 126711CHNR bracelet. Will post pictures once I do it.

Interested to see how this works out! Really like the CHNR but the two tone bracelet may be too much for me.

To be fair I see so many people putting rubber straps on and more people defend that look. I personally think rubber straps are horrendous and cheapen the look.

Granted, original bracelets do tend to look the best but to each their own

I tried on a CHNR yesterday for the first time. The only 2 tone I'd buy and if I did buy it, it would stay on the bracelet. Such a good looking watch.

It will look like every other GMT that has a colored bezel on a steel single metal bracelet.

I say do it.
