Bluesy and CHNR-can you justify both in your collection?
Does it make sense to keep the Bluesy with the impending arrival of the CHNR bearing in mind both are T/T s ?.Forum members input will be greatly appreciated!

Both are TT’s but colors are totally different as are functions. All that matters is if you’ll where both of them.

Two totally different personalities but I would say I couldn’t justify both in my collection only because I try not to go beyond 6 good watches in my collection. The CHNR is so unique, I would trade the Bluesy in for a SS Sub or SD43 as my diver. If your wrist can handle the weight, I would go after the new DSSD JC. That will give you a touch of blue and a very unique diver with the all new movement. The forum answer is always "both".

If you like TT then we are talking about two watches miles apart by WIS standards. So, go ahead brother.

Heck yeah. Different colors and functionality. No issue at all having both in a collection.

Yes, keep the Bluesy if your going to wear it. I believe they compliment each other very well.

If you like them both then why would it be a question? Buy what you like!

Abso-frickin-lutely.
And I'll go you one better. I can justify having the full gold versions of both in a collection. Or having the two tone version of one and the full gold version of the other. No...I haven't been thinking about this at all lately. |

Blusey for spring, summer and CHNR for fall, winter! At least that’s what I’m telling myself I’m going to do...:)

I want to change my initial advise. Both watches are miles different. Looking at my past Bluesy and CHNR, I feel the gold color, bezel and dial are so different about the only thing is similar is that they are both a TT. We all have multiple SS so why not TT if you want PM in your Rolex watches. Keep em both.

They're very different watches. However if it's between a blnr and bluesy, it's a no brainier. Bluesy all the way.

If TT is to your taste, then no problem tknhave both. However, if you only occasionally wear TT, then two is likely overkill.

Probably a good idea to wait and see if you are going to wear both of them. I wouldn't be hasty in getting rid of the bluesy. You will probably wear the CHNR lots at first, then if you go back to wearing the bluesy, by all means keep it. Personally, I think it would be great to have both.
Cheers, Carl

Frankly, I can justify almost anything if I put my mind to it.
