I don't think I'm getting any but if i do i think it will be the Tudor. Not a fan of the jubilee or TT, and the Tudor wears better on larger wrists IMO. also like that it has sort of a throw back quality to it with the aluminum bezel

Especially if the rumors of the BLNR being on the block have any potential of becoming real. Not to mention that bezel insert and Everose metal make the watch really attractive.





Perfect TT storm.

I won’t be buying any of them on the list.
Currently my interests lie with a couple from the Tudor range.

Does anyone have an idea of when these should start showing up? Clearly they are already in production.

The more see the BLRO in actual photos and not in renders, the more it looks pink/purple. I know it's been said over and over again on here. But once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Flooding? Are you sure that's the correct word choice?

From what I am told, yes. If you want one and are willing to pay a premium it is not hard to have one or two in hand by summer. If interested PM me for details, this is from a well known and established TS.

I am still deciding how much..$$$ I want one that soon.

Oh, I thought you meant through ADs. I'm sure TSs will grab all they can get their hands on. In an ideal world, these watches would go to true enthusiasts and not directly to TSs or flippers.

I'm sure there will be plenty willing to pay a premium though. Thankfully I'm high on my AD's list and can be patient.

Ehh I appreciate your idealistic position, one I share myself. The premium is not bad roughly 20% or so and for a new watch like this I don't see that as egregious. If you can get for sticker you are a better man than I Gunga Din.

20% premium on which model though? I suspect the SS BLRO will be going for more than that -- possibly 50~100% if supply is short. Not sure where the TT CHNR will land but I suspect those might be in the 10~20% range initially.

On the Gunga Din part, my point what that I'm not personally not in enough of a hurry to get any of these to pay said premium. I'll wait for my AD to call.

Chronext is showing the $14K CHNR watch selling for $20K. That's a bit more than 20% mark-up, closer to 50%. They're quoting two week delivery time for the CHNR.

Insane. Although, I guess we'll see how bad supply ends up. Maybe even the TT models will be difficult to get.

LOL. I suppose we might see something as early as May but that's more than two weeks. Gotta love the hype and anticipation.

I've put my name in for both the BLRO and TT CHNR. I'm more excited about the CHNR but admit that I want to see the BLRO as well.

That is estimated and almost certainly BS, they will just string the buyer along until one emerges, probably in May.

A bit over two weeks until May!! I frankly never heard of Chronext prior to this. Likely I should have.

Its hard to say if I would buy any of these.
No doubt they are great releases, but a watch like this has to feel right on my wrist before I will buy, as I tend to be a little more fussy these days.
I do like the usage of rose gold, and I'm hoping these models are more comfortable with their case design than the previous GMTC.
I'm sure many sales will occur, and there will be many happy customers with all the varieties.

Always loved the WG BLRO, so the new one is definitely appealing, but never been a fan on jubilee.

So yea, I'd probably pass on them all, but the Tudor pepsi is interesting as well.
