CHNR, my favorite TT in the entire catalogue. You won't regret it one bit.

CHNR.

The GMT is the only TT watch that I like, either YG or RG.

You have "brown/tan skin"? This is easy: CHNR. Also looks surprising good on a chunky brown leather strap.

While the CHNR is the much nicer watch...I would definitely choose the BLNR over it for daily wear

The Rootbeer. A better value in the market and a cool watch if the RG matches your skin tone.

Agreed. I own a CHNR too (but not the BLNR)

CHNR without question.

The rose gold hour markers against the gloss black dial look superb, in my opinion.

I also think there is more value in the CHNR. It has solid 18K rose gold center links and bezel. Also, it’s not as popular which in my opinion makes it more attractive, obscure.

CHNR - Not only do you get an amazing looking watch, you get the new movement and availability seems tricky but not impossible.

You can get the BLNR with the new movement but you're stuck with the jubilee bracelet and if that's not your thing you're stuck looking for an older discontinued model with even more of a premium.

Try both on.

CHNR (to my eye) looks SO much better in the flesh... BLNR is a great watch too but if you cannot find one to try on then images depict it well.... like i said CHNR NEEDS to be seen in the flesh.

CHNR by a mile! Had the BLNR for a bit, and it just didn't do it for me. The CHNR on the other hand...

Chnr. I have fair skin, and chose to go for the beautiful Chnr. Also it has history for conversation.
