INCOMING!! Very first PM Rolex. CHNR

Hi all,
Just wanted to share a few pictures of my new 126715. This is my first new watch purchase in over a year and my very first PM watch and I can say it was worth the wait. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my bluesy sub, as I had to sacrifice 1 watch to pull this off.
Found this here on the forum and met face to face with a local collector here in the Bay Area.
Love everything about this watch. The weight of this thing is crazy at 221 grams (by comparison, my SD43 is only 187 grams).
Definitely has some bling factor but I think I can wear this anywhere.

I already had a mishap while adding a link to the watch. Adding the link went fine but when I tried to move the bracelet a couple of notches up inside the clasp, the small spring-bar went flying. I was in a panic while I searched my office for 1/2 hour, but finally found it and all is good.
On to the pictures...
Thanks for looking!!:

Beautiful watch, wear in god health my TRF friend.

Every day that you wear it will be a slightly better day.

I actually think that full gold really suits (indeed best suits) that watch with the Root-beer colored bezel. Like I say beautiful watch.

Hey, random question. Did your CHNR come with the little ceramic sleeves in the mid-links and the new screw pins that have threads at the top? I found those sleeves to be kind of a PITA, TBH.

Congrats again!

Yes, it sure did and, you're right, it was a PITA compared to others I've installed. I guess they're there to prolong the life of the bracelet.

Stunning watch and thoroughly enjoyed mine whilst I owned it. Surprisingly the rose is actually subtle enough to be worn daily and I did for about 2 months before I sold it. I have no doubt at some point I will buy it back again. Wear in good health.

I tried one on at Bellagio last weekend. It was hot, but they wouldn't budge off MSRP.

Big congrats!

For some reason I see no photos, but I know how good it must look.
