Batgirl vs Bluesy vs Rootbeer

[ukwatchguy1]

Hi all,

You know I love a comparison post!

What is your thoughts out of these models:

Batgirl

Bluesy 41mm two tone

Rootbeer two tone

Black sub steel 41mm

Panda 116 ref steel?

[Davis007]

Rootbeer is the best GMT IMHO

[4 Aussies]

116 or Pepsi

[kritameth]

Speaking only for myself, Panda. But RB is a close second.

[10splaya]

Batgirl and Panda

[jamesgames]

Daytona SS > GMT BLNR > SUB 41 > Rootbeer > Bluesy for me personally. I'm also not a fan of TT watches so thats a huge reason for ranking the way I did.

[brandrea]

If I were starting out looking to buy my first I’d go with the Submariner.

You’ll eventually land there anyway

[BIGMAC142]

In terms of beauty, my opinion..
Bluesy
Rootbeer
Panda
Batgirl
Sub - if it was green would move above Panda.

If I had to choose only one watch to own it would be the Batgirl.

[JRell]

Had all 3. Only have the BLNR now. Not even close. Had the bluesy 3 times. The BLNR blue is better. Had the root beer, looks milky brown in real life. The jubilee is also a winner, more comfortable, better looking and scratches way less.

I noticed you added 2 others - BLNR way over the sub LN, it is too boring. Can’t speak to the Daytona as I never had it.

If I had to rank them:

BLNR Jubilee
Daytona (LN would be my choice)
Sub date LN
Root beer
Bluesy

If the SubLN was LV, would have it before the white Daytona and after the black the Daytona.

Daytona … CHNR

[enjoythemusic]

All are fine timepieces, collect and wear them all

[racerx]

Batgirl

[Inthesticks]

Rootbeer at the top of my list.

[Zach69SS]

Daytona, Daytona, Daytona…. Then either GMT BLNR or CHNR …. Subs are everywhere.


Cheers,

I have 4 of the 5 models that you are comparing. I don't have a Daytona, but I have YM 40, which is a similar case to the Daytona. I will say that this is the most comfortable on the wrist for me.

Of the ones I have, for comfort I rate the Batgirl, Rootbeer, Submariner, and Bluesy for comfort. Batgirl above the Rootbeer for weight. Submariner above the Sub Bluesy for same reason. GMT's above Subs for size.

On strictly looks, I rate them Rootbeer, Bluesy, Batgirl, Submariner

The Rootbeer is the most unique of all the watches and a beautiful watch. I would have to rank that number 1 by far! The rose gold is subtle and looks a lot like a Submariner in many lighting situations. I've owned the Sub Bluesy, and I really like the color scheme, but unless I spent a lot of time in a coastal environment, I could not see me wearing the watch that much. It is really flashy and attracts a lot of attention. The Batgirl is another one of my favorites and is my go to watch this past year (aside from my Tudor GMT). My rankings are:
1. Rootbeer
2. Batgirl
3. Sub Bluesy
4. Submariner

[exp90]

Just another random set of opinions, from someone who likes less colour on watches...

1. Submariner - iconic and classic
2. Batgirl - GMT on jubilee (though would put GRNR alongside Submariner)
3. Panda - aside of full RG, this is the nicest Daytona IMO
4. Rootbeer - beautiful but dislike the PCL
5. Bluesy - flat out dislike!

#1 Rootbeer. Its virtually peerless in its how it so uniquely constructed.

#2. Batgirl (this was always my favorite SS GMT, altho I prefer the oyster bracelet.

#3. Bluesy. ***To be fully transparent, I’m just not the right person to comment on that one because its not my personal

lol, all the silly nicknames in one paragraph!!

[Lesnerelli23]

My 116610LN is my favorite watch of all time.

However, the CHNR is a very close 2nd. Only slightly less because I don’t think it could be a “one and only” for me as the Sub could.

That said, imho, the rootbeer is the most beautiful piece Rolex makes. I know many would disagree but I’m very into earthy tones, combine that with GMT function. WINNER!

116 panda is in a league of its own, refined, and wears completely different than the rest of options it is by far the most comfortable so if it’s for you in the same mix then go for it

Then comes the batgirl (pepsi if possible would be a winner)

Chnr

SUB is a great first choice and keeper but is not that comfortable when sitting on the wrist when compared to GMTs

Out of curiosity, what makes the GMT more comfortable than the Sub?

Unless you’re talking jubilee, then I get it. But if we’re talking oyster to oyster, I would assume the case is basically the same so wouldn’t the edge go to the glidelock on the Sub?

I’ve never tried on a GMT so I’m genuinely curious.

Sub is a staple, cornerground in any collection, and a no date one, the OG. Rootbeer makes sense to add GMT that is not too similar to the Sub.

I have both, so I am quite biased. :D

p.s. They have the same case, difference is in the bezel width (40.2 vs 40.5) and the sub has a tad thicker back.

[Farran]

Root Beer, the two tone is way more muted and complementary than I thought it would be.

The BLNR on either bracelet all day long versus the other two.
