TT CHNR works if you’re a pale Scot with freckles and ginger arm hairs

Hands down the CHNR is the best GMT in the current lineup!

I don’t think BLRO and CHNR are comparable at all.

One has an oyster bracelet and is TwoTone RG/SS and the other is full stainless steel with a jubilee bracelet and is $5k cheaper than the CHNR...

You’re not comparing apples to apples.

They’re both beautiful, but not comparable.

I agree with BumbleB's response, I think it's two different watches despite them both having the GMT function. I personally don't care for TT watches and love the BLRO.

I wanted Pepsi but can’t get one and don’t want to pay 50%+ premium. So I bought a Tudor Pepsi and a Root Beer - two GMTs, one of which half gold, for just couple grand on top of the grey market price of the BLRO. The CHNR is very beautiful to look at but I just don’t see anything yellow/pink on me. So, now my wife enjoys her Root Beer and I enjoy gazing on the CHNR on her wrist (after removing 4 bracelet links they sit bold but nicely on her tiny wrist) and in the winder :)

In the end, I think the Root Beer ended up complementing the collection the best. As much as I love certain individual pieces, making sure an addition fits within some semblance of curation helps keep me disciplined.

As I always tell myself: in order to have anything I want, I can’t have everything I want!

Onto the Daytona!

Here is what I got to resolve the Rolex Pepsi itch and went with the CHNR. Love it and use the Seiko as a beater.
