Dear friends,

If you could only keep one GMT out of the following two, which one would you keep and why ?

Looking forward to your thoughts !

Which one is a keeper

117610blnr or 126711 CHNR ?

It depends.........I like them both, in fact I have the BNLR and love it because it can be an everyday watch, I would not wear the TT everyday because of the type of work I do. (Construction).

Short answer, I would keep the BNLR.

AdamG · 8 November 2018, 03:35 PM

Neither

STEELINOX · 8 November 2018, 03:35 PM

Because I like "color" and Rootbeer wins everyday ~ Stainless steel is so typical, so a splash f color - ANY color makes for a better wearing experience ~

Batman. I would get tired of the root beer after the novelty wears off.

Yoda_Eating_Pizza · 8 November 2018, 03:47 PM

I'd really be torn between the two. Versatility and resale aren't big factors for me either way. But if I had to decide today, I'd probably keep the CHNR just because of the 70 hour reserve. But this could change tomorrow because I love them both for different reasons.

Even at this moment, I'm in the market for a GMT, but first world problems such as this are why it takes me so long to decide once I narrow my choices down, lol.

GreatHarry · 8 November 2018, 03:48 PM

Chnr

CHNR it just looks way more special and nicer

Lol-x · 8 November 2018, 04:51 PM

The TT Rose Gold as it has the new movement and other refinements such as hands and case, but there is no 'right' answer.

danwang0520 · 8 November 2018, 05:47 PM

very hard choices......but i would go with the batman

Kigan · 8 November 2018, 07:59 PM

Blnr.

JacksonStone · 8 November 2018, 08:32 PM

BLNR. I like the Everose gold, but the bezel of the CHNR just isn't working for me. I think the BLNR is a classic.

By the way, kudos to that AD for getting cups and saucers with Rolex-themed trim.

jason042779 · 8 November 2018, 08:48 PM

Batman. Not big on the new Root Beer.

abozz · 8 November 2018, 08:52 PM

CHNR:

1) New movement.
2) I like Rolex everose.
3) The brown/Black bezel is beautiful.
4) More rare.

Boaters · 8 November 2018, 08:55 PM

CHNR for sure

Spoonage · 8 November 2018, 08:59 PM

BLNR... If I had to choose.

AK797 · 8 November 2018, 09:11 PM

CHNR, love that bracelet mix.

TimeRookie · 8 November 2018, 09:17 PM

I love the CHNR but I’d end up ruining it. I work with my hands a lot. It seems ok to bang up a stainless watch but sinful to abuse something as nice as the CHNR. For that reason I’d stick with the BLNR. I think I’d want to keep both.

Joearch · 8 November 2018, 09:31 PM

BLNR. Sourced in Jan 2014 prior to being so hard ro get.

JayHantz · 8 November 2018, 09:37 PM

As we are all happy to spend your money on our own subjective tastes; look at both and the one that jumps out more to you is the one to get.

However, if in your position I would first look at my current collection. Do you have a lot of SS pieces? Is this your only Rolex? Is this going to be your daily driver? I have a couple SS Rolexes that I rotate on a constant basis so my choice would be the CHNR. I love the new movement along with the look of the TT. It’s sharp, different, and I think a pretty versatile watch.

If this was your only Rolex, or you wanted this to be your daily- I would be swayed more to the BLNR due to subtle looks, a timeless appeal, and the ability to pair with almost anything you may have.

Good luck and let us know what you end up with.

1William · 8 November 2018, 09:48 PM

The BLNR hands down. I am not a TT fan and definitely not a TT RG fan. I prefer either SS or all PM.

brandrea · 8 November 2018, 09:51 PM

One screams looks at me the other says look at me.

I’d always go SS for a one and only. I guess a lot depends on what else you own

Edit: I see you own and LVC and a GMT C LN. I’d go for the CNHR

marcotagudelo · 8 November 2018, 09:52 PM

If you have more watches on rotation, CHNR

beshannon · 8 November 2018, 09:54 PM

I prefer the BLNR

X2. Nothing else like it. These are two completely different watches so not sure why you need to pick just one??

MARTIN1264 · 8 November 2018, 09:59 PM

BLNR.... Not that i'm biased or anything

Bluside · 8 November 2018, 10:28 PM

BLNR for me. Don't care much for TT.

watchmework · 8 November 2018, 10:42 PM

Blnr.

Glidelock · 8 November 2018, 11:20 PM

CHNR without hesitation! I have passed in the BLNR on many occasions...as it just doesn’t sing to me!!!
