Maybe COVID-19 pandemic made the non big profit ref. more available (new incoming)

I wrote down my name on a CHNR at local AD, when it came out in 2018, and I was asking them almost every month about my turn to get it, but he was arguing the high demand and low supply, after the lockdown was eased finally, I had the opportunity to visit them again and asked about my name on the list, next day I got a call to pick up my CHNR. Definitely not happy with the pandemic, but happy with my new purchase. It has been said before here, pictures never reflect the beauty and the classy of this ref.

Congratulations on a beautiful watch. I don’t however believe it’s related to the pandemic. CHNR is not overly difficult to source from an AD.

I have seen many of these at several different AD's on display. Great looking watch but not hard to get. Congrats Op.

The CHNR looks amazing in person, I agree. I passed on it last year, but it was really only due to price relative to other GMT's and the fact that the PCL's are scratch magnets. It would have been hard for me to wear it and see those scratches.

I agree. Knocked my beloved Bluesy right out of my rotation. Very hard to photograph. So much better in person.

Can’t stop looking at the matching of the colors with the in-blended rose gold tone. Piece of art compared with all other Rolex’s regardless of the value ( PM, DD and Daytona)

Great watch. You are right. It’s much nicer in person than in pictures.

Congrats, wear in good health. Very popular, and hard to get in most countries, It does comand a good premium over list too. Best looking GMT in my opinion.

No doubt this is the most beautiful TT model out there, I wasn’t a fan of TT but this one certainly does the magic, although many might think it’s gotten weird when I put the oysterflex strap onName:  IMG_4944.jpg
