I had a chance to try on the vtnr, blnr and chnr recently, and I was amazed at the differences.

- the chnr was definitely the most elegant of the three, so I could see selecting it if you want the dressier option,
- the blnr is very bright. The blue is unmistakable. Very sporty
- the vtnr. I did not think I would like this model at all before I saw it. The green/black is really something special. The reversed date window is a bit disconcerting, but being a righty and having the crown not poking my wrist is a plus. If I could have one = vtnr.

I’ve got them both & id go for the Sprite VTNR. Unique, different, special from standpoint. Would also make a great daily as well.

It all depends on what you exactly want, but Rootbeer will do a good job for me.

Root beer. The “sprite” is fugly in my opinion although as a future value proposition it’s this.

Rootbeer though.

Both are great options. In my opinion there are so many other green choices for Rolex, but there's nothing quite like the Rootbeer.

In my collection I opted for the Rootbeer GMT and the 126610LV-002 for some green.

Rootbeer for the win!

I could just about tolerate the Sprite if they didn't also put the date wheel on the left!

I'm a leftie, I wear my watches on my right wrist.
When the VTNR came out, I thought it was weird looking though I like the Black/Green bezel. The CHNR is a beautiful watch, but I really don't want to wear TT watches.
I have never owned a left hand watch, and I already own a BLNR, I would go Sprite.

CHNR. Left handed watches looks strange to me.

My vote is for the Rootbeer... but if you have a chance to try both on, that would help since they're similar but different.

Not everyone is a fan of two-tone, but the Root Beer is probably the best execution of two-tone that I've seen.

Root Beer for me.
