The 126711CHNR is extremely tempting

At Baselworld 2018 this is the star of the show.
It's hard to not watch this more than several times.
May I share this video of the CHNR here?

I normally can’t stand two-tone, but this caught my eye as well.

I think I want it, but hard to say without seeing it in person. Normally I wouldn’t want TT, but maybe this time . . .

before bluesy was the only TT I would buy, now the CHNR seems like a winner too.

I guess the wait list for this one should be a lot shorter than the SS pepsi

This. Love the bluesy but after seeing the CHNR I like it more as the rose gold makes it less blingy and the black/brown bezel with gold accents are really classy

Not a fan of TTs, this is no exception. Maybe my opinion will change with time but right now I much prefer the instant visual gratification of the 126710 BLRO.

I see the 126711 CHNR more like a potential acquired taste that might or might not grow on me. An underdog of sorts.

I have a feeling once people start seeing this watch in person there is going to be a big, loving fanbase for it. I think this will be especially true for people around here.

I'll admit I kind of shrugged at it during the big Basel reveal and got caught up in the SS Pepsi craze. After looking at it again and again, I'm intrigued. This thing is going to have staunch defenders promoting for it once its on some wrists.

Personally, the TT contrast for this watch just...works. It's just enough to really catch your eye while not being overwhelmed by a full RG model.

Had they put this on a jubilee strap I think it would be a winner.

Love this one and could be first TT watch I’ve bought since 1990.

My words exactly. But for some reason this TT is very very well balanced to the eye....hmmmm food for thought

I’m excited about this one. I don’t mind TT watches, and currently own a 16613. Is love to see it in person, and also feel we might see this one in AD’s much sooner than the SS Pepsi.

I'm not a fan of TT if it uses yellow gold (but that's more of a referendum on me not liking yellow gold). From what I've seen in pictures of the TT CHNR, I love it and have my name down for one. This would be my first TT watch too. I was considering the TT chocolate dial YM for some time, so I'm glad this came out...fits the bill better.

i think this watch supplants the bluesy as the tt to own. just my personal thought.

This is the RG TT YM are beautiful IMO, less "flashy" than YG TT. I've never owned a TT but both of these caught my eye. Not sure I'll buy, but looking forward to seeing it in person.

I usually don't like TT. But steel/rose looks much better than steel/YG

I like TT watches. Kind of an 80's throwback I guess. Love this model. Wife is pushing me to get one. I think she wants to wear it.

My next watch will be this or the RG TT YM still undecided will need to see in flesh before i decide...

I would have preferred to have seen this with a chocolate dial and jubilee bracelet that combo would have knocked it out of the park!
