Got the call...UK GMT TT CHNR..
Got the surprise of my life at the weekend.

A call out of the blue from my AD. - there's a TT CHNR in stock with my name on it if I'm still interested..?

....err, just give me a nano second to think about it...

So here we are..the longest 4 days of my life later...lol.

I have to say, photos do not do this watch justice...you really do have to see it in the flesh to fully appreciate the beautiful contrast between the brown/black bezel & the rose gold centre links.

I've never had a GMT before - have always been more of a dive watch kinda guy, but this little gem has me converted big time.

Apologies in advance to anyone who might follow me on Instagram...I think you might be seeing a bit more of this little gem over the next few days,weeks,months....lol

Cheers guys

Congrats! Pics definitely do not do the watch justice. In fact, even in person, the watch can be overlooked because it's so subdued. That said, it's one of my favorites in the Rolex lineup right now and gets a lot of wrist wear.

Beautiful watch, I love mine! I wear it much more often than I thought I would when I picked it up. And it is more versatile than I imagined it would be.

Congrats

I got lucky last year and got mine a month or so after Baselworld and thought it was the star of the show last year.

The best looking TT watch Rolex do in my opinion.
