Incoming CHNR Root Beer GMT (Warning: leather strap included)
I love my leather strap (and TT bracelet), and I don’t care who knows it :)

I am normally not a leather strap kinda person, but I have to admit that it looks great on your CHNR! That color goes perfectly with it.

I love changing between different straps and bracelets with my watches from other brands, but hadn't done it with any (modern) Rolex because every picture I'd seen of one on anything other than the stock bracelet looked terrible to me. This, though, actually looks nice!

The Choco bezel definitely lends itself to that brown strap. Best I’ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats ! And normally I don’t think the maxi case looks good on leather , but this is an exception- works well!

Thanks, everyone! I didn’t like most of the other leather straps I had seen with the CHNR. I just got my watch in today and, luckily, this old strap I had works perfectly (IMO). For those that are curious, I forget the name of the company, but it’s made from repurposed WW2 leather ammunition pouches.
I call this version (with the brown leather strap), “The S’more” :) |

Don't normally like leather or rubber on a Rolex, but that particular strap and watch combo looks great!

I'd stick with the bracelet; for whatever reason the vintage strap just doesn't look as good with the ceramic insert. If you like it that's really all that matters.

I think the colors look great, but like others say I just don’t like how maxi cases look on leather.
Beautiful watch! |

OK. So I was one of many that already liked the TT bracelet a lot, but that leather strap looks way better. It works seamlessly.

Looks great. Dangerous 9 makes straps out of vintage Swiss army ammo pouches like that. Very cool. Congrats.

I have to ask, because I’m a fellow Audi S/RS lover - which model?

Congrats on the lovely CHNR. I am usually not a fan of putting the GMT on any kind of strap...but I think this looks fantastic and is a great way to add some variety to the watch.
What kind of leather strap is this? I'd love to get one once I win the CHNR giveaway |

Leather doesn't look bad at all. I'm not sold on the multicolored bracelet, however.

Look great!! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in the photos!
Definitely a good way to dress it down and change it up! |

I've always admired the CHNR. Never as much as I did now after seeing it on that leather strap. Jaw-dropping yet extremely classy.
