Congrats. I have never seen one myself. just pics and video. I know the feeling of waiting though when I had to wait an extra could days after getting the call for my Jame Cameron. But the excitement builds up all the way until the SA brings it out and prevents it to you. Suddenly it makes all those Christmas mornings as a kid look like nothing special.

Yes I completely agree. I have to say that the anticipation and build up is one of the best bits, but actually getting your hands on the piece that you've been yearning after tops all of that. It's just a wonderful feeling and very special indeed. When the AD walked across the showroom he had a beaming smile on his face and then I was presented with it. I'll never forget that!

Thank you, I'm really biased but I think it's the most stunning watch I've ever seen.

Thank you and I have to agree.

I thought that I had the call today for the same watch but when I got to the AD it turned out to be the 40mm Yachmaster with chocolate face.

That's great if you're after the YM40 but frustrating if you're not!

I'm soooooo excited!! It's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK and whilst I'd normally want to elongate the weekend, I just want to fast forward to next Tuesday haha!

I think recent purchase history has helped having picked up a Chopard Alpine Eagle for my dad 3 weeks ago and a BLNR from them in 2017. My IWC is also in for a major service with them right now, so all of this has certainly helped bump me up the list and cement a really good relationship with the AD. The CHNR is going to be getting all of the wrist time!

As they say, photos to follow....
Congratulations!

CHNR is a stunning piece, especially at night in a fancy dinner setting.

Yes I am see that being the case. It certainly seems to "glow" in low light conditions.
