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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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.

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. |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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’ll look as good as those pics on here the other day of CHNR on crummy leather bands

It will look like every other GMT that has a colored bezel on a steel single metal bracelet.
I say do it. |
