CHNR vs BLRO

Have we done this yet? Tough call.

I think it's a pretty easy call, actually.

If you own the BLRO, it's the BLRO.

If you own the CHNR, it's the CHNR.

If you own neither, it's the BLRO.

This

I own BLRO and have owned LN and BLNR, BLRO is way better. Think I didn’t like the black part on the others including CHNR.

Controversial...! lol


I would agree apart from the last bit - if you own neither its either/or

Most would say the CHNR is the first TT watch to convert a lot of 'non TT' fans to actually concider buying one for the first time.

Yes, either/or- but empirically speaking, people's preferences are massively lopsided toward one end.

So true - BLRO for you as I’m not a huge fan of the root beer colours

Think you are probably right.
I wanted the BLRO, then saw the two side by side at Rolex AD release event, preferred look of CHNR TT, but still wanted the Pepsi. AD called me a month later offering me the first CHNR they'd received, so I bought it.
No regrets (stunning Rolex), but now waiting on the BLRO to add to the CHNR my BLNR...…..don't tell the wife!!!!!!

When I owned neither I chose the CHNR. Once I got it and compared it with the BLRO; yes, I fell in that 2nd bucket.

Then the Blue Sky Dweller came up and I had no choice but to trade that in. Now I really miss the CHNR.

I will be reunited with it someday.

If I were receiving either watch as a gift I'd choose the CHNR.

This is so true... The CHNR is going to become the most-flipped Rolex in due time.

If you don't love it enough to keep it forever, now might be a good time to sell it.

Since this post began, the market's placed a premium on them. Dunno if it's the most flipped Rolex but they're getting tougher to find.

BLRO>BLNR>>>>CHNR in my opinion. The CHNR is probably the best looking bi-color watch Rolex makes, but I’m just not a fan of bi-color watches.
