Got the CHNR Call

I think it looks amazing.

Better in the flesh than any picture. I think the Rose gold TTs are a lot more subtle than the yellow gold ones.

The brown and rose gold go well together.

if you see it in the flesh I think you will definitely buy it

You should check them out. One of the few fully integrated watch manufacturers (they even produce their own hairsprings), where >95% of the watch is made in Switzerland. Limited production with a proper heritage, going back over 100 years I believe.

You'd be surprised at which highly touted, high-end Swiss manufacturers source parts from other companies...or have some of the movement assembled in China.

That's great to hear. I not typically a TT fan, but I was hoping the brown and RG would be more subtle. Can't wait to try it on.

I agree with going and taking a look. I saw it at my AD Basel event and think it's even more striking in person than in pics.
Also, if it's going to get regular wear, I'd surely take it over the WG Moser. Timeless and classic Rolex. What better to pass down to your son one day.

Maybe in the past, but don't think a TT is an issue with any Rolex these days or going forward. On my list, if it arrives, will buy without any reservation.

To those who have taken collection of theirs, how are you liking the watch so far? Reviews from sites like Hodinkee are one thing, but always nice to hear from people wearing it in the wild.

I say go try it on and see if you like it in flesh. Funny, when I saw the initial release pictures and all, I was in love with both TT and RG versions. But now that I am seeing more pictures of them from current owners, as much as I still find them beautiful, I am starting to lose interest in the TT version. I know I won't be buying one over internet sight unseen (like I did with my BLNR) but if I see one in person, perhaps I will fall in love again.

I hope you go and if you like it and end up buying it, you get to post some pictures for us.

I tried and ordered it two weeks ago in London. I was initially set for a 116613LB but I find the new CHNR way more versatile and discrete. The colours are not loud and the rose gold doesn't scream "I have money" unlike the Sub. Absolutely can't wait to receive mine in September.

Those photos are amazing; they really help to assuage my doubts!!! (BTW, which camera was used?)

Just on my old Iphone 6+.

Don't really know anything about photography but just thought it looked good against my walnut worktop.

The Endeavour is more dressy so also try on the RG Pioneer which is more sporty, love the brand too.

Yes. Basel event at my AD. Picked up a real deal D-Blue that night but the CHNRs are shipping obviously.

Wow. Smoking hot.

[turborolex]

Was at my AD 3 days ago and saw and tried on one and passed. It’s a great watch if you are into TT. For sure the rose gold tones it down a little as opposed to yellow.

Not for me though as I’m not into TT.

I could be wrong but it doesn’t really seem like you are too excited about the CHNR.

[ArthurB]

I'll buy it if you don't want it.

Oh Bloody Hell, that Rolex is AMAZING!!!!!

I'd buy it in a heartbeat ... and that even speaking as an ancient AD who has pretty much seen it all.

BUY IT.

Blessings,

Steve

Saw it alive at my AD and would define it as a NO GO for me.

[Roy_D]

Try it and buy it, looks like a great birth year piece to me!

[CanPam]

I would wait some time before buying it, think you'll save some money because the prices will go down after the first hype. Finally it's a TT model and we all know what happens with the TT models...Here in Spain you can buy it without any waiting list and I heard the same from Germany...

[Timelover]

I would buy it and flip it to a grey dealer straight away for some profit.

[DylanFox]

I must say, this very well may be Rolex best TT watch.

[oldman2005]

An AD asked if I want to order the CHNR so I don't think it's hard to get piece like the BLNR.

Interested in the Platona comment, I don’t see what similarities they have?

Nice bokeh; it also shows off the stickers really well!!!

But seeing it at an AD is one thing. I was more wondering about day to day ownership.

Loved it in the pictures. Didn't love it in person. YMMV

I bought mine site unseen. Epic piece IMO.
