Would you trade in a 214270(EXP1) & 214270(EXPII) for Two tone CHNR?

On the fence guys, thanks in advance.

Edit: 216570 (EXPII Black dial), also note I just picked up an SD43 and thought it would go well with the CHNR.

For me, no way.

I think you’ve got a perfect combo right now. Exp 1 and Exp 2 are two of my favorites.

I say enjoy what you have but it’s your call.

No question that right now you have two really cool watches and hard to think of a situation where one or both wouldn’t fit perfectly.

I think you mean 214270 MkI & 214270 MkII. Remember, no such thing as an Explorer I,

just Explorer & Explorer II. Best to clarify things and avoid confusion.

Not to try to steer you to my tastes. If you really want the Chnr and your Explorers aren't getting it for you anymore then yes, I'd say do it. I have a Polar and a Blnr, I'm not a big TT fan but the Chnr is the first one I've seen that is changing my mind. No doubt it's a beauty as the RG really works with that killer dial and bezel.

Yes, 2 easy to get for 1 hard to get. I got the CHNR first last years and picked up an Ex2 16570 this year for everyday wear. I’m not a fan of the 6 series explorer range.

I would consider the trade. I guess it comes down to your wrist time though with the current 2 pieces you have

Are you me lol? I’m in MI, blnr and polar...and drawn to rose gold.

So much I’m selling the polar (and a PO) for a Wimbledon DJ but am considering chnr or tt YM1 rose gold if I can’t get one in 2019 (birth year watch).

The CNHR is nice looking piece, the best of the TT’s. I say that not being one for two tone pieces.

I do think value wise it’s a good trade.

There's just something about the CHNR, I haven't even seen it in person, but I can tell it's special.

I think it’s making all rose gold TT’s look better to me.

It's a strong contender, I was considering it before picking up my SD43

Value wise this trade sucks. But I would rather have the CHNR than those two pieces.

No. Keep the Explorer II 216570. Just save up to get the CHNR. Good luck.

Without a second’s hesitation, yes!

With your SD50, the CHNR is a much better companion than the Explorer and Explorer II, IMHO.

Straight up trade without added cash, yes. And especially since you have a SD43 for everyday beating wear.

Only caveat is if you are a Explorer 1 diehard, then keep the Exp 1 and add. Its a love or hate with the Exp 1, but only love here for the CHNR. So I'm biased.
