thinking about adding to my collection as my first TT, have not seen it in person yet. want to make sure it it not too flashy. any thoughts?

WatchOut4It · 14 September 2018, 11:19 AM

I’m in the exact same spot. There have been a few posts with early pics. Be forewarned: You’ll probably want it even more after seeing them.

jlafou1 · 14 September 2018, 11:20 AM

Try it on in the flesh?

TheWatchEnthusiast · 14 September 2018, 11:53 AM

It is actually a very subtle and elegant watch.

mj1214 · 14 September 2018, 12:01 PM

Nice GMT lineup!

gatsbie69 · 14 September 2018, 12:06 PM

Very nice

TheWatchEnthusiast · 14 September 2018, 12:07 PM

Thanks MJ
I now want to add a yellow gold with green anniversary dial GMT Master II. I always liked it and couple a weeks ago I had the opportunity to see it in the sun. That green dial was amazing and breathtakingly beautiful. It’s one loud PM Rolex but I think I have to have it.

My coworker bought one. I tried it on. Beautiful watch and is not too flashy. IMO the best GMT of all times so far.

Great collection.

Time all synchronized too!

Tampashooter · 14 September 2018, 12:56 PM

My wife would never let me walk around with a yg dd. Too feminine and blingy. She rolled her eyes at my yg sub. In 30 years she’s really never even acknowledged a single piece I own. 2 weeks ago she mentioned that she thought my “new watch with the brown was great looking.”

I was like, “wtf did you say? Did you just talk about a watch?”

It’s a real quiet stunner.

DoctorA · 14 September 2018, 01:56 PM

Very nice collection! Congratulations!!

Uppersouth · 14 September 2018, 03:21 PM

I’ve tried it on. Not too flashy at all. The everose is very complimentary to the brown/black motif.

roosvelt · 14 September 2018, 08:12 PM

Flashy is so ambiguous !

AK797 · 14 September 2018, 08:27 PM

For a TT it is quite subtle, looks great.

Have not seen it on my wrist so I have no idea.

You have nothing to worry about the tt rg is just perfect. Would not stay subtle but just right. You’ll love it!

I would agree with Neil, I love the way the RG blends with the steel. I had a TT YM2 and the way the bracelet blended together was one of my favorite aspects of that watch.

Although I would also qualify my response with not having seen one in the flesh...yet.

I love it and am contemplating adding one sometime down the road.

MKLM · 16 September 2018, 12:08 AM

It is amazing in person. If I did not have a white Daytona on the brain I would have bought one.

smym18 · 16 September 2018, 12:36 AM

Best looking two tone watch out there.

RC999 · 16 September 2018, 01:32 AM

Looks stunning in the flesh!

I was fortunate enough to get one from my local Ad, when they first came out. Looking at the pics and then seeing it in person, I thought it was the best looking TT watch I've ever seen. Sadly, once I put it on my wrist, I realized immediately I'm not a TT kind of guy......just didn't work for me. Flipped it immediately for a nice profit.

If you'e a TT kind of guy........go for it!!!!!! Its a stunner!!!! Has a totally different look than most TTs which make you feel as if you've gone back in a time machine and suddenly, you're in the 80's

I didn't find it flashy at all......enjoy

Bxtek · 16 September 2018, 02:19 AM

I've always liked the CHNR ever since I first saw this model. For me, at TT is not too flashy and is a good "in between" choice. It can be used casually, but also in formal occasions and will not be out of place. One of my grails is the 126715 but would be overkill for certain casual uses imo.

What do you all think about the Everose gold? Some have mentioned that it looks too much like polished copper. When I finally saw one in the metal, I have to say that it really does! I was a bit turned off at first, but overall and in the end, I think it still looks great! I still love this model and would definitely go for one.

psv · 16 September 2018, 02:21 AM

I had the same fear, but I've owned this piece since May. Love it. Put a smile on my face everytime I wear it, one cannot ask for more than that.

Psijason · 16 September 2018, 02:50 AM

Best TT in their lineup. Looks great in person. This is all subjective of course. Go with what you love.

thegents · 16 September 2018, 04:14 AM

Try one out in person.

Seafox0814 · 16 September 2018, 05:42 AM

I've got one on order currently, I had to go for it sight unseen...but I think I'll be thrilled with it since I can't stop looking at video reviews of it online.

The phrase I keep hearing from either video reviewers or forum members is, "pictures do not do it justice."

So, I'm hoping it blows me away the first time I see it. For those lucky owners that have it, would this be an accurate statement?

moonk · 16 September 2018, 07:35 AM

You should try it out in person
