Root beer is nice but the TT bluesy mixed with gold is the perfect rare combo. It looks even more amazing in person and in the sunlight.

Saw the Bluesy, took it home. Saw the Rootbeer, didn't even try it on. It's down to personal taste, I find the combination of everose and maroon a bit of an acquired taste. But hey, variety is the spice of life as they say. The more colours to chose from, the better.

Bluesy for my money. Pictures rarely do them justice, they are beautiful.

There's no loser in this choice. Both are great watches. I'd be inclined to go bluesy due to availability, price, and function as I've no need for multiple time zones currently. Nice feature but for me pretty useless.

I own both but my bluesy is the 12 version, which is bigger. If I only had to choose one it would be the bluesy but I would not part with either one. I like that the bluesy wears larger. Love the wider bracelet. But love the earth tones of the CHNR.

I have the same dilemma, I narrowed it down to a bluesy or a rootbeer as my next watch. Love the pop of the blue dial but the Rootbeer looks so good too. Tough choice!

Both

I have both and I really don’t know if there is a good answer here. If I had to keep one, it would be the bluesy, but that is only because I have the 124060 as well so it is a good change up. If I didn’t have the black sub and had to keep one, the rootbeer because I find it more versatile. After wearing either of them, and then go to the other, I always think wow this is a great watch. They both have that wow factor. The blue and gold is very hard to beat. If you have never seen it in person, everyone talks about the dial, but it is the royal blue bezel for me that is a stunner! I then put on the rootbeer and it is such a elegant statement watch. Like others, I was on the fence with the brown, but much of the time, especially at night, it looks almost burgundy and is a great transition from the rose gold, to the brown, to the black. It is truly a unique watch. So both if you can do it, might be the only 2 Rolex watches one needs!

Always loved the blue and gold. Loud outside, maybe. But classy subdued inside.

CHNR. The Everose gold and brown are a warm, excellent combo, plus the GMT function.
