Bluesey or Root Beer or Black GMT

[Bguye]

Trying to decide between these watches. Bluesey, Black on Black GMT discontinued or Root Beer GMT.

I have a Datejust so looking for my first sport watch.

I think it depends on your personality. In order of what gets attention I would say sub, Bluesy, CHNR and the GMT. What does your DJ look like?

Champagne dial. Retro from the 70s

Bluesy my favorite of the three, but the CHNR is also stunning - 1 and 1A imo

Nice! Bluesy is my favorite of the three, but if you want to have variety I would say the Black GMT is the most different from your DJ. But you really can’t go wrong with any of these.

The Bluesy won't be a bad idea, it depends on how you want to appear .

My vote:



If you had said black steel sub instead of black steel gmt I would have said sub given your other watch. But in my opinion once you go PCLs it’s blingy enough that adding in some gold isn’t going to be the tipping point that that takes it from subdued to noticeable since you are already there.

I agree. I only posted a pic of my LN because that is the only Rolex that I own. The CHNR is magnificent and I’m happy to do a straight swap to anyone who is sick of their rose gold.

I agree too !

CHNR would be my choice ! Modern . Beautiful .
Btw , pictures do not make justice to CHNR ! Take it in your hand then decide !

Black GMT.

If the OP hasn't seen and tried on the watches.on his wish list, suspend your purchase until you do so. Asking forum members for advice is very sensible-this community is the 'last word' in knowledge and experience. However, nothing beats personal interaction and tactile inspection of your choices. YOU'RE the guy making the purchase, you know better than anyone what will make you happy.

If you've already been to the AD, you must have a frontrunner- they're all great references. Good luck, fun problem as rhey say.

GMT LN is the best overall Rolex imo, but I think would still have to go CHNR since its not your one and only.

[ppalasthira]

GMT LN.

CHNR Root Beer by far then comes the Bluesy. I think CHNR is a sleeping beauty that is waking up slowly. I have one and it's getting a lot of interest, and has history too. Still a bit difficult to find compared to Bluesy which is usually available at AD. Don't forget you're getting the new movement with the Root Beer if that matters to you.

Gmt is the one of my top tree Rolex’s!

Pictures never do it justice. The LN will be most subtle... like a black sub though the PCL add more pop. The CHNR will be most elegant and its face and colors are so warm. Yellow gold TT is more bright and therefore more eye catching.

My opinion about the CHNR is a better choice as it’s a bit more understated than the the bluesey.

I am waiting to try on the CHNR. Should be a week or so. I just know I’ll love it.

I’ve tried on the GMT and Bluesey. Bluesey was absolutely stunning but definitely a piece that pops and not sure I can be that guy every day. Maybe some days. But having gold on my wrist all day seems a bit flashy for my taste. I would think having a Bluesey to alternate would be amazing.

Bluesy

[Bguye]

The Black GMT was nice just didn’t give me the same feeling as the Bluesey.

Waiting to see about CHNR. I just know I’m going to love it. Plus another good point made here is that it has the new movement.

To follow up on this comment, I would go 1 and 1a and ditch the DJ.

[encarter13]

IMHO, Bluesy is just stunning. The other watches are great, but Bluesy is a little "better"

[aapriadi]

Chnr

[iheartrolexx]

black GMT for me

[crewsin]

I’d never buy any TT watch, for me it’s a throwback to the 80’s and they look gaudy...but...the CHNR is maybe the exception to the rule.

I have seen the CHNR in the wild and on the wrist. It stood out like a beacon. Much more gaudy than the others in my opinion.

Oh it’s most certainly gaudy, I just think the bezel goes with the gold pretty well. If you’re going for that gross flashy look, go big or go home haha
