Currently as I stand on “lists”.
AD tells me I am 6-12 months out if I want a BLRO SS.
Not really crazy about it but has been growing on me thanks to all the enablers posting. Have only seen it in photos, not in person.

Can get me a CHNR TT pretty quickly, within next month. Love this watch from photos, having never seen it in person either.

Can get me a BLNR within 30-60 days. I had an opportunity to buy this one, tried it on, but my heart wanted a Bluesy first, no regrets.

I am not in a hurry, never have been for a watch. I can be patient.
Looking forward to one as my retirement gift to self, come December.
I definitely want a GMT for all the travel I have planned post retirement so all other references are definitely out.

Sounds like you will get to see the CHNR first? You may fall for it. If not BLRO it is! Not a bad waiting time either.

I'd get the watch I really want.

My wife will kill me if I were to really do that.

I would be in PM territory or buy all three of these.

andrewjb88 · 28 July 2018, 07:07 AM

I'd rather wait ages for the watch I really want than settle for one I don't!

At the moment the one I want is the Tudor BB GMT, originally promised this month delivery now looks like Aug-Sept.

The watch I want after is a black sub date, will wait a few years for that.

BLRO (Never owned but tried a friends on. Not a fan of the jubilee bracelet but its a cool watch!) > BLNR (Had one got rid of it. Just got boring to me) > CHNR (prefer the yellow gold 2tone model much more or the full rose gold version :D)

All beautiful watches but thats my preference in that order. Whatever you decide make sure you get the one you really want not the one that comes first!

get the blnr first and keep your position for the blro, once it arrives you compare both, if you happen to like the blro more, selling the blnr will be easy with no loss

I like how you think but there is one small problem, I refuse to flip. If I buy it, it will end up with my children and grandchildren to sell.

What I have tried to do is explain to the wife that if I buy a PM, it will be more than two of these together. Trying to prep her for your plan, except for the flip part.

Part of this is a matter of personal taste. I would certainly take the opportunity to look at the CHNR in-person before deciding.

A few weeks ago a member here posted a thread about having the chance to act quickly on this one. Along with others, I essentially replied saying he should check it out at least because you never know what will happen. Big surprise, he followed up with an incoming TT CHNR post.

I'd probably lean more towards adding the TT CHNR and then either the BLRO or BLNR. I say this because I think it's easier to have one or the other between the BLRO and BLNR but the CHNR offers a totally different presence with the RG color and brown on the bezel.

I hate you.

Frankly, I love gold and TT and that Everose looks amazing.

SearChart · 28 July 2018, 08:11 AM

Both are fantastic, no wrong choice here!

watchmework · 28 July 2018, 08:15 AM

Sounds like you like the CHNR more. Don’t let the BLRO craze distract you from what you want.

joli160 · 28 July 2018, 08:18 AM

Anything with Everose

brandrea · 28 July 2018, 08:20 AM

Always buy what your heart wants, you’ll end up there someday anyway

ras47 · 28 July 2018, 08:43 AM

Don't settle. Hold out, bite the bullet, and wait for the one you truly want. I've settled before and it satisfied my craving for a week or less. Then the cravings come back and you now have a watch to get rid of. Usually at a loss.

Stay strong, get your BLRO when it's available.

droptopman · 28 July 2018, 08:44 AM

You already know the answer. Sounds like you prefer the CHNR. Since that is coming in before the BLRO you can really evaluate where you are at. You already passed on the BLNR once...

HL65 · 28 July 2018, 08:53 AM

Of course I’d get the BLRO no question about it. For me it is without a doubt the best SS Rolex in the lineup. I place it higher than both of my 116500’s. Also trust me the jubilee is amazing and makes the watch so much more special. It has such a vintage flair to it for those who know you know. Anyway to each his own but since you ask no way I chooose CHNR over BLRO.

RHIII · 28 July 2018, 09:05 AM

I buy what I want — not what everyone else wants. Same way I’ve always been. Sometimes they coincide — most times they don’t....

I will add I agree with Roger and I only buy what I like and truly could care less what others think. I also always know in a heartbeat which watch I want so no need to even think. So if you don’t know and need others to help guide you pass and get the CHNR.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I need to somehow justify buying the CHNR now, and the BLRO when I get the call, if I can make my wife understand this complicated train of thought. Finances is not an issue. It’s really a “wife” issue.
Candidly, the BLNR is third in line for me out of the three.

It’s Friday night, time for a nice bottle of wine and lots, and lots of smooth talking. Where is Barry White when I need him.

Definitely get the one you really want, even if you have to wait. For me, that would be the BLRO but I like the other two on your list as well. If you're thinking of getting two, I would highly recommend getting the BLRO and the two-tone CHNR because they are the most different in terms of colors and bracelets.
