Love the root beer, especially if you’re right handed. But if sprite sings to you - buy it! You can’t go wrong - even on the wrong wrist.

Tough choice in my opinion. I have both, and originally wore the CHNR much more, but as I am getting used to the VTNR it is unique and very versatile. One of them may ultimately go, but that will be a hard decision. If it was only one, it would depend what else you have in your collection, but the CHNR is unique and will probably win out. Good luck!

I own the CHNR and love it. The Sprite is too much of an odd ball for me.

What are everyone's thoughts on the longevity of the CHNR in Rolex's collection. Will it be discontinued at some point? If so, the price will surely shoot up in the secondary market. I don't really care because I will never, ever sell mine--but it's nice to think about.

I am a lefty and placed it on my right wrist for the photo! It feels fine on my left wrist as all my watches. I fell out of love with my rootbeer.

Rootbeer has precious metal so better in my eyes and I can't get used to the date and crown being backward on the sprite.

Root beer is a stunner. Sprite is an odd ball. Both cool in their own right.

Agreed. Beautiful watch, and a two-tone winner. I would have to toss a coin to choose, however.

VTNR for me as it is more unique and rare. Rootbeer is everywhere.

If wear on Right go sprite, if on Left go RB.
Also if buying for investment purpose then consider Sprite, the bezel color combo makes it easier to mix with your style , You can't go wrong with either of them, if RB sings to you buy and enjoy it.
