    I think this is the most interesting and coolest model they offer. It's so much more understated and versatile than I imagined. I bought an Exp39 for when I want to be more under the radar but honestly this gets way more wrist time. This has kept me from buying other watches. I love it. Wear it, scratch it, cherish it. They aren't that hard to get either, relatively speaking. Go for it.

    Could you imagine the Rootbeer on the Everose Jubilee, that would bring tears of joy to my eyes.

    good to see the "stigma" of gold gone...although this seems to be more a thing in the UK than the US... but the idea that stainless watches trump gold is a product of "I can't afford gold, so I prefer stainless" in my opinion.. truth be told a solid Everrose gold 126715CHNR would be the holy grail here! But this is a beauty! I also love the idea of a white gold rolex... best of both worlds, such as with the 126619LB Submariner.

    Hi mate. Yes I agree a full PM Rolex would be lovely. Generally I like collecting and so if I can get three or four SS pieces for the cost of one PM ...lets hope the lottery numbers come in :-)

    @@ablokecollectingwatches1312 absolutely fair point on that and completely honest ... It's just bothersome when I hear some dishonestly try to say they avoid gold because they "don't like it" ... it's avoided because it's expensive! The Rolex Gray Gold is indistinguishable from stainless, other than the 60% more heft!

    The bezel alignment on mine is slightly off to the right 🤣. It is what it is though 🤷🏼‍♂️. If they wanted to they could also make the crown logo align but they don’t, just down to luck!

    I just picked up the CHNR the other week from my ad. Normally i dont like yellow gold either and this rose gold is amazing with the brown bezel. However i got he yellow bi Wimbledon and it really pops with a suit, the rose didnt work well i thought with the grey dial. Awesome watch the root beer though
