Like to test the waters to see what people would pick between the following GMT’s given the chance.

monsieur_z · 27 November 2022, 02:38 AM

GMT in current offering? I'd pick the BLRO

Tried the root beer out. Was nice at times, but the brown is too light, like a milky brown. Got it because I didn’t want to wait for the BLNR. I tried the Pepsi on, I don’t get the red and blue. So waited for the BLNR and love it. Out of these two, the less of two evils for me is the root beer.

Root beer. More beautiful and then I don't like red in my watches.

BLRO for me. I wanted the modern take on the classic Rolex colorway.

The CHNR is beautiful but it doesn't suit my style unfortunately. Name: 20220106_133512.jpg

I'm not really a fan of gold, but the rootbeer looks great to me

Mr Ben · 27 November 2022, 03:20 AM

In order of preference, I’d go BLNR, CHNR, BLRO, VTNR. And definitely on Oyster. The CHNR is the one two tone watch I do like - something very warm about the colour combination. (I can’t look at a BLRO without thinking Timex and I’m sure the VTNR is great if you’re left handed. But I’m not.)

Almost exactly my own thinking.

The only bit I don't agree with is the BLRO looking like a Timex. My reasons for not liking the BLRO so much as the others is basically down to how the colours are rendered.

SLWoodster · 27 November 2022, 03:21 AM

2018 blro.

beshannon · 27 November 2022, 03:26 AM

The BLNR or the BLRO

B2 Stealth · 27 November 2022, 03:42 AM

BLRO is my favorite watch. I owned a CHNR for two months, never bonded with it and traded it back to my AD. For me, the BLRO and BLNR are "tool" watches as I wear they everywhere and am in the aviation industry--as a former military pilot and now commercial pilot.
I like all GMT style watches but the CHNR for me ranks after the BLRO and BLNR.

After having worn one a while now, I prefer the BLRO personally but it’s very close. I think the CHNR in RG/SS is a stunner. Make it available in a Jubilee configuration and I would pick it over the BLRO.

Neither is a slouch when it comes to form or function

Benzsiam · 27 November 2022, 04:47 AM

CHNR looks the better but more expensive.

That’s true

alex.cicollo · 27 November 2022, 05:42 AM

Pepsi vs Rootbeer?

Pepsi by a looooooong mile for me……

the_natural · 27 November 2022, 05:54 AM

I'm biased.

interestedinwatches · 27 November 2022, 06:06 AM

I had the same topic with a poll if you want more answers

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=853801

Came out roughly the same as here, 1 in 3 people prefer the CHNR

DoctorA · 27 November 2022, 06:11 AM

To me it’s not even close! BLRO for the win!!

Stan Cooper · 27 November 2022, 06:15 AM

Steel Pepsi! No contest.

Harry-57 · 27 November 2022, 07:48 AM

What I actually picked was both of them. It took a few years and some patience. They couldn't be more different yet the same in fit, comfort and functionality. The TT CHNR is the "easier" of the two to obtain and that's where I started. If I had to let one go I'd keep the BLRO but I don't intend to do this.

rohada · 27 November 2022, 08:06 AM

Yeah, this...

Bazil · 27 November 2022, 08:16 AM

Root beer all day long for me, real touch of class …

DocRassy · 27 November 2022, 10:51 AM

One new and one vintage?

PS thoughts on the CHNR on a black alligator? I’m still trying it out this way.
