Rolex 126715 CHNR

Hi all,

I’ve been itching for the RG GMT (126715 CHNR). I live in Dallas-Fort Worth area and the few ADs I’ve visited don’t have one in stock. Do y’all see this piece in your ADs? Please post pics to enable me Thanks!!

Saw the full RG model in a couple of AD's. Try another AD in your area, as I can only imagine you would want to see/try it on before putting down that kind of money.

Have you visited Govindjis in Richardson? I know they had one a few weeks ago.

It’s a great piece. I think I like my TT CHNR better tho.

These are definitely more readily available with searching. If the price was more inline with other GMT's they'd be just as hard to get, IMO. This is a beautiful piece, but rather pricy at retail for what it is.

My AD in the Bay Area had one on display last time I was in, about a month ago.

No, I haven’t. I’ll check it out. Do you have any experience with Govindjis? Thanks

I have posted this pic before...I hope this helps enable. If you can swing it, it is absolutely beautiful. To me, you are paying a premium for two things:
1. That special heft and feel that can only come from a PM Rolex
2. RELATIVE exclusivity. It is not a rare watch at all...just not many in the wild

I live near Baltimore and the one and only AD left has one in the case. Sorry no picture to enable you but firsthand experience is the watch is beautiful. I was very tempted if only I had the available moolah!!

The full gold is nice but the TT outshines it

The full gold just felt ‘too much’

Saw one a couple of months back at a local AD.
It is a great looking watch and is very comfortable as a daily wear.

Out of the PM pieces I was trying that day the CHNR was the most striking. It had the most wrist presence compared to YG Daytona’s. Paradoxically it blended together with my skin tone, not sure I like that compared to YG.

Haltom's in downtown Ft. Worth had one last time I was in there. Ask for Nicole, and tell her Cameron sent you.

My skin tone is similar to yours. I like the fact that it will blend in a little. Won’t be as blingy. Thanks for the pics.

My AD currently has a full RG GMT - the TT is a different story - on the list for that myself.
