A datejust with jubilee bracelet is my top pick, something about the oyster bracelet doesn't work for me in 2 tone, but I do like the new CHNR

Bluesy 100%
From actually seeing the CHNR TT in person, I'll be the odd man out and say I got really sick of it quickly, like, 5 minutes after. In the press release the photos look amazing, but that that black/brown mixture is horrible in person. You really have to be conscious of what outfit you put on to make it work color palette-wise, and to me that's too much effort to put into wearing a watch. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Personally I do not accept gold ( whatever colour) in tool watches ( professionals ).
But DJ’ s are a different story. They’re sporty and elegant enough to handle precious metals. And I could make an exception for CHNR ...but on SS oyster bracelet |

The days of the so called professional line used for its intended purpose has long gone. They are essentially men's jewelry at this point.

I'd give it to the new CHNR. I've never liked two-tone watches, preferring plain old stainless steel for the clean/minimalist look. I'm a huge GMT fan, plus the colors of the CHRN bezel compliment the two-tone look beautifully. The new GMT might just sway my opinion of two-tone watches in general.

I've never been a TT fan, but the Yachtmaster II and the GMT CHNR look great.

You right it’s a jewelry but since I have several watches I ‘d like them to have some purposes. So I still use divers on a boat or bike and SS is less likely to have scratches more natural to have them and easier to restore it.

Rolex does TT so well, there are a lot of great choices, but the bluesy will always be my favorite.

Haven’t had a chance to see the CHNR in person yet but to me the 116613lb is the best TT.

The Bluesy owns that title for a few decades now. It’s the poster child of how good a TT can look.

What do you think is the best TT rolex?
Datejust. No contest there.

I think when these questions are asked you should have to disclose if you own the watch you say is the “best” so at least the bias is in the open. I own the CHNR in full disclosure and I love it. That said I don’t think it diminishes any other TT Rolex. I personally love the Bluesy and made the mistake when I was younger of not buying one at a great price because It wasn’t the “safe” choice. It is completely fair to want to hype up the watch you own because of course you think it’s best, it’s why you bought it. However, what I am not a fan of is the negativity I have seen over the years about traditional TT that perpetuates a watch culture of people passing on their preferred choice because of the need to conform to what is cool on forums. I have seen a lot of comments about how the CHNR has changed peoples opinions on TT. So overall I think this is good for all TT watches because it’s a stepping stone to get people that traditionally would only buy SS based on others perceptions to branch out.
Also, I feel as though if you can afford to buy a Rolex then the marginal difference in resale value between two choices shouldn’t sway your decision at all. The opportunity cost of wearing a watch that wasn’t your personal favorite for years seems far higher then a few grand in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
