Enough bitchin! CHNR in the house

[amh]

Picked up a CHNR from one of the local ADs yesterday! Have been looking for a BLNR forever, this was an 'alternate' and a long shot. Never really pictured myself wearing gold of any kind, I've always had SS. I'd only seen it once before and never at an AD - seemed like an incredible watch:
- The brown is very deep 'chocolate' IRL. Sometimes it's almost black.
- Rose gold disappears in some light and simply looks polished, other times it's more pronounced (compare pics)
- Has a slight heft to it while still being very comfortable
- My wife says it's the best looking watch in my collection

It's challenging to photograph since cell phone cameras have auto white balance and make the brown appear "Longhorn orange." But here goes.

PS. Yes I'll eat a big helping of crow now that I somehow skipped the mythical waitlist
