Guys

Choosing between these 2 which would you go for & why?

Ironchip · 25 May 2023, 02:47 AM

can we pick both?

Big Tex Rolex · 25 May 2023, 03:25 AM

Both are great, but I’m a Bluesy guy.

Here’s why …

Bluesy all day every day.

The 2 tone Rootbeer, IMHO, is a downright ugly watch, no offense to anyone who owns it. I have seen that watch and have been offered that watch several times in the past but nothing has or can change my mind about its ugliness.

MrMercedes · 25 May 2023, 03:49 AM

100% Bluesy!!

Little machines · 25 May 2023, 03:56 AM

The color combination of the Rootbeer has the edge for myself, Bluesy is still a great looking watch !

+1.

alphadweller · 25 May 2023, 04:35 AM

Bluesy all the way. Puts a smile on my face every time I wear it. I find the Rootbeer a tad depressing.

Gerry62 · 25 May 2023, 04:37 AM

Bluesy!

phonefool · 25 May 2023, 04:50 AM

Root Beer is the winner in my eyes. The Rose Gold with the Brown Ceramic is a perfect combination. I get so many compliments on mine.

Rentalcarman · 25 May 2023, 04:54 AM

This is a tough choice. If they were both submariners or both gmt then it would simply be a color preference. However, being two different models it is a tough decision and not one I would want to make. I choose both for this reason. But in your case, if it can only be one, and since I am a sub guy I would say bluesy.

VerticalClutch · 25 May 2023, 05:58 AM

Rootbeer by a mile for me.

Nana7 · 25 May 2023, 06:01 AM

Bluesy hands down.

Cru Jones · 25 May 2023, 06:20 AM

Both amazing and I would love both. If I had to choose, my head would say CHNR, my heart would say TT LB Sub. So I voted the latter.

Me too. I mean the smile part. Not the depressing part (root beer is still gorgeous)

Rootbeer all the way

Oldwoods · 25 May 2023, 06:49 AM

I have a Bluesy and love it but I’ve always thought that the Rootbeer is a stunning watch and gets my vote.

garyk · 25 May 2023, 07:15 AM

I bought this during the pandemic while stuck at home. Definitely helped me to keep a positive outlook!!

Rootbeer winning for poll which does not match the replies here.

Incoming Bluesy for me so a little biased here :)

Alfa2109 · 25 May 2023, 07:48 AM

I’m root beer all the way. But I’m also a GMT guy. So it’s not even a close call for me.

We need some more rootbeer pictures here to help

Harry-57 · 25 May 2023, 09:23 AM

I went for both because it was impossible to choose one over the other.

I've always thought the 13LB to be a beautiful watch but it wasn't until I saw the 11CHNR sitting in my AD's window that I realised just how much depth, sophistication and cleverness went into the design.

If you are equally in love with them but must have only one, go for the one which is easiest to get or has the lowest acquisition cost. Or if your focus is more on utility, buy the one that has the functions you will use the most and none of the functions you won't use.

The decision is as easy or difficult as you want to make it. Either way you'll end up with a fantastic watch.

fishingbear · 25 May 2023, 10:15 AM

I prefer the 5 digit Rootbeer.

kl2244 · 25 May 2023, 10:26 AM

I prefer the Rootbeer, I have always been a fan of this beauty. Definitely going for that.

ducatiti · 25 May 2023, 11:45 AM

Please enlighten me regarding the Rootbeer as I never found it appealing dating back to the 90's but it seems like the popular choice here. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful watch but I would rather pay grey pricing for LV rather than a Rootbeer at retail.

Advancing · 25 May 2023, 11:48 AM

I think the bluesy doesn't come around as often as I see the rootbeer in public. I really enjoy both watches but I think the Bluesy is a better long-term pick that you probably wouldn't get tired of as fast.

Advancing · 25 May 2023, 11:48 AM

Incredibly beautiful watch bro!

Here in Cali, I think the bluesy is more common. I don't I've seen a Rootbeer in public or even perhaps exhibition pieces in the AD's.

Kenny G · 25 May 2023, 12:09 PM

I voted rootbeer but these could possibly be considered the best 2 modern Rolex TT’s…

For spring/summer: Bluesy
For fall/winter: Rootbeer

Since you’re in the UK though which is pretty overcast….maybe the rootbeer would be the better one to go with.

Tough call. Get both?
