Bye bye CHNR and welcome BLRO

When I knew that Philippe Dufour is rocking a BLRO that’s sealed the deal for me to do the trade. Sorry CHNR lovers but the BLRO hype is real.

Here is my new BLRO she is a keeper

Congrats on your choice of trading in the CHNR towards BLRO. Great choice in my opinion.

What does Philippe Dufour have to do with what watch you like to wear?? Need more input. I traded a CHNR for a new BLNR. It’s a sideways trade so it’s more of a fashion move or color change than anything. I personally love the jubilee bracelet a lot more than the oyster on the GMT.

Great trade! BLRO is definitely more difficult to obtain. You can always add the CHNR later if you miss it. Congrats and wear it in good health.

It's not hype, but it is real. The watch is a winner by any metric to me. Congrats.

Don’t you guys take specialists opinion when you buy other stuff ?

I agree with you.

I saw a video of him choosing to wear one daily I think.

I was impressed and I do think that if an expert of that level chooses to wear one, it must be a very well made watch.

Congrats on it and wear it in good health !

Surely you’re kidding. I mean, I can see that it might be a compliment to Rolex as a brand, but the Pepsi and Chnr are the same watch.

I thought I was the only one who thought that, other than the bracelet and a few cosmetic differences. Glad to see I'm not alone.
