MAJ75 920 Posted February 4, 2021 Hi All, I thought I would share a few pictures of what is a rare incoming for me. I understand that both Rolex & Two-tone pieces are divisive amongst the community here but this reference has been on my list ever since I saw a guy at Bicester Village wearing what was presumably a Gen. After having researched the best versions it was down to GMF who offer a CHS 904 Steel version for just under $500 or BP (same factory or a connection to GMF) who offer the 2836 ICHS at around £100 cheaper it was an easy decision as I don't care about potentially be called out over the handstack & I don't need the working GMT complication & finally to top things off only the BP version has plated side links despite being the cheaper option. I was watching M2M here & next door like a hawk as I just haven't had the motivation to order this through a TD & eventually patience paid off as a UK member next door posted this one for sale. It's a great looking Rep and for me a nice update on the Original "Clint Eastwood" themed piece from the vintage line-up. I struggled a little to get decent pictures due to the ceramic bezel & poor winter daylight but hopefully these images are representative for anyone who might be considering a purchase. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moondustesp 134 Posted February 4, 2021 Oh my that is lovely! I have been eyeing these up for a while but haven’t seen one in the flesh (rep or gen). Think you and me may aswell just start a watch share scheme it would save us some ££££££! Enjoy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks mate. The bluesy is the one that started my love for the bi-metal watches. The Rootbeer has been on my wanted list for a while, but your pics make me want one even more now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuvolablue 2,051 Posted February 5, 2021 Very nice@MAJ75. Glad you finally found one. It's a great piece with that perfect blend of bling and sophistication. Would be great to see some pics alongside your 5 digit Rootbeer. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmaggi 0 Posted February 22, 2022 For those who own 2-tones: How does the gold plating hold up? Is the gold wrapped center links a better option with regards to wear & tear? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took my CHNR off the oyster rose/stainless oyster bracelet and put it on a rose/stainless jubilee and there is no way I'm ever going back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
