I voted Root Beer but it would depend on what I already had in my collection before I could definitively decide.

Surprised to see rootbeer win over the BLNR. The TT acceptance is growing and CHNR is as good as it gets. However, the BLNR to me is much more versatile as daily wearer than the CHNR.

I would go with the CHNR between these two. I really like the oyster bracelet, along with the gloss dial and the rose gold hands and marker contrast. I think the CHNR is the best TT in the lineup and checks so many boxes. I also think the BLRO is the better of the two (BLNR and BLRO) on the jubilee.

I had the chance to get a CHNR but was wearing the BLNR oyster at the time. I didn’t pull the trigger as it was too similar and wouldn’t get worn anywhere near as much as SS is better as a daily. So I left it for the next guy

I have the pepsi, the batman jubilee and the root beer, but although I like them all three, the one I'm in love with is Root beer. It will be a classic future, time to time.

CHNR is much nicer, BLNR is overhyped and not worth the grey price IMO.

The CHNR is on the list next. It is a stunning and classy watch. Gold is not my style but the rose gold combined with SS has a certain flare to it.

GMT TT Rootbeer vs GMT Batman

They’re both great but I went with the CHNR. I do believe it is starting to gain on the BLNR in terms of interest because the BLNR has been out for so long. Ignore the other watches I just think the light catches the CHNR just right in this photo.

I have 3 GMTs.

The CHNR is a stunning watch and even better in the flesh.

You have the top 3 GMTs, congrats. The Chnr is the most stunning. When I got mine I just lost interest in any other GMT. If my son decides he wants one I may buy the pepsi for him.

I was pleasantly surprised by the CHNR once on wrist. You really need to see this piece in person to fully appreciate. Would be a tough call for me, given how comfortable the jubilee is on the current BLNR & BLRO.

Is CHNR more liked because it is something different - color combination (nothing else matches this combo in the entire Rolex portfolio) or folks who are buying it have CHNR as their only TT?

I love my Oyster BLNR but I admit there was a time considering trading it with CHNR. I even contacted a couple of TS here but in the end I decided to keep it.

CHNR is stunning and I would take a second look again, for sure.

I passed on a BLNR for a 114060 years ago as I had two GMTs but that CHNR would swing me IF I could buy one over here at retail.
