My best impression of my CHNR was when I was having dinner with friends in Japan and someone at the table had a black 16520 Daytona. She commented on my CHNR so I said “I’ll trade ya!” And we switched watches and from the other side of the table my CHNR was really good looking.

Missed opportunity!
Jk. She would be happy if I got myself one.

Not at all, especially if you enjoy them.

They should come up with a tricolour CHBLNR

cbalster · 24 July 2020, 12:34 AM

I prefer the CHNR given how it connect aesthetically more so to the history of the watch and the look of the original 6542 reference. A Rootbeer on Oystersteel without PCLs would be perfect.

Spoonage · 24 July 2020, 12:39 AM

I have a BLNR on oyster. If only 1 GMT this is the one for me over all ceramic GMT models. With that said the CHNR is a looker and wouldn't mind picking one up at some point.

ArchMerlin · 24 July 2020, 10:27 AM

Chnr

JonOnTime · 24 July 2020, 02:15 PM

root beer

Glad I found this thread. I am right now in a dilemma trying to decide between the CHNR and BLNR. Still no close to deciding LOL

Some great pics in here though so will have to keep looking at them till it’s time to order the watch next year.

kpinthebay · 23 November 2021, 08:08 AM

Keep em both. They're different enough that it's not overkill.

Now, what I don't get are the folks that have multiple Submariners that look similar. One date, one no date. One 6 digit, one 5 digit. I dunno.

ThePalletFork · 23 November 2021, 08:54 AM

BLNR on jubilee and CHNR on oyster. Best of both worlds and variety of bracelets. Winning

norcalctr · 23 November 2021, 09:00 AM

I would keep both. Very different looking but same functionality. I'm still on the hunt to get anyone of those.

HL65 · 23 November 2021, 11:45 AM

Any CHNR tough to beat. I love the 126715 personally but the TT is nice too.

watchamatic · 23 November 2021, 02:43 PM

You really don’t need to choose between the two. You actually need to get one more, the Pepsi. Then you will be set!😇

m3tek44 · 23 November 2021, 02:45 PM

I would rank them as follow:
Pepsi=>Rootbeer=> Batman

AEV · 23 November 2021, 06:29 PM

I kept the BLNR. But I also have a Pepsi, so 3 GMTs was too much.
Because of the jubilee the BLNR can be dressed up.
For me black and blue work better than the brown.
But by all means CHNR is a pretty much and both can be part of a collection.

Onequik135i · 23 November 2021, 08:17 PM

Keep both.

Neom · 23 November 2021, 09:29 PM

I would prefer to have the CHNR if i was limited to 1 watch only.

GMT Aviator · 24 November 2021, 07:39 AM

Whoops, double post.

I’d go CHNR.

Giantpact · 24 November 2021, 05:31 PM

You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I prefers CHNR.

B2 Stealth · 25 November 2021, 12:13 AM

BLNR for me. Enjoy my BLRO the most between the two but BLNR over CHNR. Truth be told turned down the CHNR a couple of times but won't if offered again.

BroncoOne · 25 November 2021, 12:29 AM

Those are beautiful watches to have in a collection!

I think that both are versatile enough to dress up or down so wear whatever strikes your fancy on a given day or what you feel looks better with what you are wearing ( or, more accurately, what your wife tells you looks better LOL)
