First AD CHNR sighting?

My AD has just received a TT CHNR for a client.

They’re coming through

I received my SD 116600 on 1st May in 2014, so similar timing. Will be interesting if the BLRO comes out as quickly.

Really looking forward to seeing one, they look great!

My AD was talking about June - September for the waiting list that closed on day 2 of Baselworld...

Fingers crossed...

Edit: Sorry I totally missed the point here... Saw the sample of the CHNR recently and looked great. Looking forward to actually see some wristshots !

I am looking forward to the Basel showcase to see this model first hand.

My father is considering a part ex from the Yacht master rose with choc dial to the new root beer... People agree with the right way to go?

Awesome! Hopefully, we'll soon see U.S. deliveries. I'm first at my AD for the SS Pepsi so I can't wait!

Perhaps another sign of the Rolex PM focused strategy?

This after Rolex itself stated multiple times at Baselworld that the case is the same but with a different polishing technique on the sides to get a sharper edge. Sigh...

Agreed. Great photos and it does look understated for a TT Rolex. The larger hour/minute hands look better balanced with the dial. Solid review other than the lug details.

I'm looking forward to the CHNR more and more.
