CHNR vs BLRO vs 326933. Your choice?

Only can pick one model
the same price for preowned condition
Which one you picked?

126711CHNR
126710BLRO
Two tone black dial skydweller

Hard to make decision!!!!!!

TT Black Dial Sky Dweller and the CHNR are stunning pieces! Are these particularly difficult to get at an AD in HK?

I will pick up the SKYD, annual calendar made by Rolex is a complex movement for a Rolex.

What's your poison? CHNR for looks, SkyD for the movement and command bezel.

OP probably thinks about the secondary market, and there the prices of Pepsi and Rootbeer are the same and the watches are available immediately. For me of these three definitely CHNR.

I have to represent:

Of the ones you're debating to my eye, the BLRO is winner.

I was looking at the black dial SkyDweller (it just didnt sit well on my wrist and was a bit top heavy for my liking for some reason), and the CHNR although lovely isn't my thing being two tone, and doesn't go well with my skin tone.

I went with the 126710 blro. I just love the historical significance of the Pepsi and this modern iteration.

Is this a poll or OP, are you looking at similar price, which one to purchase?

BLRO all day, any day.

HOWEVER, if I had to pick one watch amongst all watches that would celebrate every individual aspect of Rolex, it'd have to be the CHNR. Think about it:

* two-tone, a paradigm where Rolex excels and is known for
* sporty, tool-like, and formal- all in one
* rotating bezel that Rolex made famous (Sub, GMT, etc)
* extra movement function (GMT)
* black dial with gold lettering, a nod to Rolex's vintage history
* oyster bracelet, which back in the 1950s, was more unique to Rolex than it is today (IIRC, back then most companies had "rice-style" bracelets)

The Skydweller is lovely watch but it's a tank. Yo uh need big wrists to pull it off.
The BLRO is a beautiful watch, but I found the blue and red too much as a daily in the end.

My vote goes for the CHNR. Its probably the best Rolex professional out there right now. It's just classically perfect.
