You know that SS brushed bracelet actually works really well to tone down the watch! I like it! Would like to get one for my CHNR!

The bezel color combination really works well with Everose which I love about this watch.

This statement is comical though.

It's so insane to me that we (as consumers) feel privileged to be given the chance to hand over 8-10-15K for a stainless steel watch
Thank you :) Yeah, times have changed...we consumers now have to "beg" for the "rare" watches.

I actually prefer the Rolesor bracelet with this bezel as it is more elegant & classy, compared to the good-old Steel bracelet (which will be more sporty).

Certainly, and it's a good thing I have many of those leather-color shirts hahaha. It's a two-tone sports watch that looks dressy for sure!

Ha...I flipped my SD43 for the CHNR. I paid over msrp for my CHNR and was one of my most gratifying watch purchases of all times.

You sold the SD already? I thought you said it was a keeper after the Hulk?? I’ve been off the forum for awhile so I have some catching up to do lol. I paid msrp for the gmt with no tax so I was still able to make a few bucks on it. If this Rolex game ever stops and I can get one at a discount I may give it another shot.

Yea, it had to go because it was causing hand pain. SD43 was too heavy and applied pressure on my inner wrist tendons making my fingers numb. It’s the only watch that ever did this. My wrist only likes watches under 170 grams.

I really like the rose gold stripe down the middle of the bracelet, the rose is a little more subdued than the bright yellow gold on the Submariner TT.

I would have a problem deciding between the full rose gold and the TT rose gold with this watch, just because this is such a nice TT.

I agree; imho it is the top of the TTs!!! It really loses a lot without the RG center links.

Is the case contour/design of this new GMT model different from say the BLNR model?

I've just had a call from my AD for the BLNR which I promptly purchased, and already owning the chnr supplied from the same AD I too didn't get the plastic bezel protector, I understand about removing all stickers and I'm happy with that but was disappointed not to get the bezel protector as I feel it's invaluable in preserving the condition of the watch when it's not been worn. Problem was my wife picked up the watch so I wasn't aware until my wife got home. But I have since emailed the retailer expressing my disappointment. I'm hoping they will give me it... what's my chances do you think?
