Wow, So This Happened Today - INCOMING

So shortly after Basel World, I reached out to Lee Perla in NJ to let them know I'd be interested in seeing a CHNR when one came in. Yesterday I got the call. After finding out it was available I jumped at the chance!

I'm still warming up to the two-tone, but initial impressions are very very good. It's really beautiful, much more beautiful in person than in the pics I've seen. Like many watches, it looks very different in various light.

Special thanks to Rick over at Lee Perla for making this happen. If you've ever had the pleasure to work with Rick, you'd know he's the best in the business! Don't hesitate to reach out to him

Pics!
