Both are my dream watches, but I only have one budget to buy one of them. Which one should I get? FYI, I don't have any GMT series in my collection.Thank you for your comment.

fooey · 19 August 2023, 12:24 AM

Go and try them on. Both are very different looks!
I'd go Sprite!

Your skin tone may determine which looks best on you. Personally I prefer the Green and Black. The backwards GMT is a fun watch, more out of the ordinary and a great daily wearer.

doublevanose82 · 19 August 2023, 12:26 AM

Rootbeer.

Monolith · 19 August 2023, 12:28 AM

Rootbeer for me all day every day! Beautiful combination of materials. True timeless design. I dont even wear anything else since I got it.

brandrea · 19 August 2023, 12:31 AM

Do you have a preference?

If not, I guess the first one that’s offered

Lovebird · 19 August 2023, 12:31 AM

Sprite = New Money
Rootbeer = Old Money

spellmanski · 19 August 2023, 12:42 AM

Rootbeer all day long

This.

KeobNepo · 19 August 2023, 01:07 AM

Rootbeer (personal taste), but even more if you are right handed.

Driver8 · 19 August 2023, 01:14 AM

Depends if you’re left handed or right handed!

jfmiii · 19 August 2023, 01:15 AM

Root Beer. It is the only two-tone watch I actually like. Just not a fan of the VTNR; don't like the colors and don't like the LH orientation. But if you do not have a GMT, I'd go Pepsi over a Root Beer.

^^^That is the absolute first priority and then do you like a bright or warm watch.

enjoythemusic · 19 August 2023, 01:38 AM

Thailand... i vote CHNR.

skipstar · 19 August 2023, 01:40 AM

Unfortunately I’m not a fan of either…… TT doesn’t do it for me and the left handed GMT doesn’t either. Now if you are left handed then I would absolutely recommend the Lefty GMT.

KatGirl · 19 August 2023, 01:54 AM

Not ALL lefties wear their watch on their right wrist. This southpaw wears her watch on her left wrist, as most watches are designed to be worn.

Also, I prefer the Root beer.

I'm lefthanded and wear my watch on my left wrist. Just too weird on my right wrist. But I'm pretty much ambidextrous anyway.

I say go for the Root Beer. I love the browns and love the dial.

zoenatenich · 19 August 2023, 02:19 AM

CHNR "RootBeer"

Akacoke · 19 August 2023, 02:32 AM

I was in the same shoes as you. Are you buying grey or retail ? Because at retail VTNR $11k plus tax is a better deal.

I know I'ma gonna own both. But to me sprite is more special If I have to pick one. I prioritized VTNR on jublee over everything until I got it. I have a couple other ones I want before a 1chnr from my AD. I know I can always get a 5chnr from grey for close to retail anyway. So there is no worries of availability vs pricing.

thesharkfactor · 19 August 2023, 03:20 AM

Root beer for me

JRell · 19 August 2023, 03:41 AM

I used to be the guy saying you have to be left handed. Not anymore, it looks great on both wrists. I would go spite but on jubilee as the PCLs are scratch magnets. Unless you have other watches. Would get the BLNR over both of them.

Bazil · 19 August 2023, 04:00 AM

Neither - BLRO ..

Most lefties are pretty much ambidextrous, because we grew up in a right handed world. There are certain tasks, for which I always use my right hand. I love to shop at Lefty’s, on Pier 39, SF, when I’m in town.

Potawatomi · 19 August 2023, 04:29 AM

I have a 5Chnr and a VTNR. The 5 is the way to go but it's almost 30k usd more.

Brian Page · 19 August 2023, 04:32 AM

I'm a diet Coke guy personally...wait? - this isn't about soft drinks is it...

In that case I vote root beer

cotway · 19 August 2023, 04:46 AM

I would go with Sprite over CHNR if it was going to be an everyday watch. Love the CHNR as well…can’t go wrong in my opinion…depends on how you will wear it…in rotation with other pieces?
