GMT - Rose vs Yellow

Anyone own 126718GRNR and the 126715CHNR or one and have tried other...? Thoughts?

Both are very nice. I chose the GRNR as I prefer the color combo better. When it was first released I was immediately drawn to it. Part of that was the jubilee bracelet. I much prefer a jubilee bracelet over an oyster with PCL. The PCL's are scratch magnets whereas the jubilee is not.

Bravo

I agree, the jubilee is a deceiving bracelet … appears more delicate, but it’s actually hard wearing and shows less wear than a PCL Oyster IMO

I completely agree. I am drawn to this watch. It's a stunner in person. I just stopped by my AD this week to try on again and say hi. Been on list for a few months and impatiently waiting for a call.

Same, recently acquired the CHNR. I love the rose gold. It has a more subtle (less flashy) look. There is no wrong answer here.

The 5CHNR is a watch I've never seen another person wearing. I'm sure they ate out there. I own one and it's fantastic. The best part is that the only full RG rotating bezel watch. Then again the YG griner comes on jubilee so that pretty sweet.

If you are ok with the bling factor I’d go the yg back grey. That’s a beauty. I had the rootbeer and found it uninspiring so moved it on

After comparing both side by side at AD, both are beautiful but rose gold edges a little to my liking and no regrets ever since.

I went with the GRNR over Root Beer solely because of the Jubilee. Its such a different watch than my Sub, but it definitely also has the additional bling factor.

Rootbeer is gorgeous, but much more subtle than the GRNR.

YG would be my personal choice. I’ve owned it and would pick it again over the RG.

I've owned the CHNR in both TT and full gold and I enjoy the watch but it's very subdued. Works better in TT imo.

And I currently own the GRNR in full gold. The all gold jubilee is amazing!
