My friend just got one. At night the center links almost look white. I didn't find it flashier than any other center linked watch.

Not as flashy as fluted bezels or yellow gold!
I think it’s a great watch that fits any attire

If you find it too flashy at times, why not switch bracelets as I did (just to try it out)

I think any TT watch will be somewhat "flashy" but with that being said, the chnr is a lot less "flashy" imo compared to a lot of the YG TT watches. I think it looks fantastic and is currently my favorite TT watch out there.

Root beer is the nicest 2 tone Rolex ever made. It too flashy but very elegant. You’ll love it!

Love it. Yellow gold does little for me, but this take on pink gold is fantastic.

I almost pulled the trigger on the 116713LN that was in my hands at the AD, but I opted to wait for the CHNR. I love the more muted two tone.

It’s a real quiet stunner.
