Rose gold CHNR
My wonderful AD is offering me a rose gold CHNR. It was on my radar, just not on my immediate must buy list. What do you guys think? Seems like a hard to get piece?

Tried one on recently. Too pink for me. But it is a good investment.

Don’t know about the hard to get. Don’t know about investment value either. My AD has had one in the case for a while.
But it’s a beautiful watch. |

Brown bezel is ugly and rose gold sports watches don’t make sense to me
If you want a gold tone PM sports get a TT Sub Rose gold Daytona is the way to go for RG sports OR the RG Yachtmaster 116655 |

Buy it if you like it. I think it’s the most beautiful solid gold professional Rolex there is right now. I wouldn’t say it’s an investment and I’m sure one could be ordered without too much of a wait but it’s an admirable piece for any collection for sure.

It's a beautiful watch! I'm personally not into colored gold watches of any variety, TT or otherwise. I personally prefer the WG BLRO. That said, I've seen it in person, it's stunning and feels amazing on the wrist. As far as the demand, I don't think it's a watch you'll see on the shelves regularly but I don't think it's "hard to get" either, in fact I think any AD would jump at the opportunity to sell you one and/or order you one. If you're in no rush I wouldn't feel any pressure to pull the trigger. |

I love it but that’s a hell of a lot of polished real estate to scratch. That’s why I never pulled the trigger. DD hides it way better.

Not anymore than any other current vintage gmt. It’s not that bad honestly ... i wear my gmtIIc quite a bit and other than minor swirls, it looks great. I prefer the look of the brushed sub oyster myself but won’t be paying $2k for one anytime soon.

It's an allocation piece now from what I was told. Not impossible to get but probably a 6 month wait if ordering.
I was almost certain it would be my next watch but the brown part of the bezel is holding me back. Finally saw one in person and it's a great looking watch. |

My AD happen to offer it up to me which got me thinking. This AD got me a blue Skydweller, SD43, and the SS BLRO all in the last year or so. I have a great relationship with them. I thought it was a nice gesture on their part to call me with it. Will I regret passing it up later if it's a difficult piece to get? I was looking for opinions on that. Sorry if that wasn't made clear on my original post.

Not common, but not super difficult to find. It's a great looking watch and I think you should buy it if you're interested. Any discount?

No price discussions yet. Need to try it on first and see if I like it. I don't like to negotiate on something before mentally committing to buy. Just my little rule.

I went and tried it on yesterday. Beautiful watch, but decided it was easy too much gold. There is no way I would be able to keep that brecelet from being covered in scratches.

My AD had one a few weeks ago. Definitely a stunner! Not for me though. I seem to be moving towards WG now.

I love RG and looking forward to purchase a PM RG watch however this particular watch for me will depend on how it looks on YOU. The bezel is a bit different from me but none the less a beautiful watch. I say if it looks great on, BUY IT if your looking for a new sub!

As far as PM watches go, purchase them if you love them; otherwise leave them for those who do!!! Unless one gets a really deep discount they're harder to sell. There's also much less of a market. |

Love my TT CHNR. It’s a stunning watch. And I’m not a TT guy usually.
