Cermit126610LV or Rootbeer(CHNR)
Two wildly different watches - both unique and difficult to get. Which one would this forum advise me to jump at. Your advice and your opinion is very welcome. I’m an end user, not looking to flip. Thank you!

CHNR simply because it’s a more interesting and beautiful piece imo.
Don’t think you can go wrong though. |

I don't need a GMT function and not the biggest two tone fan, so easy sub LV vote here for me

I’ve owned both pieces at the same time. I found myself never wearing the CHNR. So I moved on to a full pm GMT with it so the answer really is you can’t go wrong either way!!

CHNR for me. Best looking two tone in the Rolex line up.

+1 for the root beer. It just looks and feels more high-end on the wrist. I prefer the warmer color-tones too.

What’s the approximate wait time on these watches?

CHNR over most for me, including the new LV.

This is a tough one for me. I’d say the LV by a whisker. Both are beautiful but totally different watches.

I really like the CHNR but not enough to own one but the 41mm LV has been a game changer for me and replaced the original flat 4 LV I had in 2003 and sadly let go..,

While the GMT is my favorite watch, I am not into two tone so my vote will go to the LV!

Have both... Root beer without hesitation.
Ok, I admit this bund is 'big', yet a more form-fitted one does work well too imho. CHNR_Straight.jpg

I have both. And I would probably go with the CHNR. The subtle nuances of the Rose gold lettering and hour markers really elevate this piece.

Cermit for me. Not a fan of two tones.

Two different watches with different aesthetics, functions and complications. If you can't choose between them, just aim to get both and it won't matter in which order you buy them. Unless you can't decide because neither of them gives you itchy enough fingers. Should this be the case, keep looking.

CHNR looks great on brown leather and also on black rubber. Maybe even a bit better.

I own a CHNR and love it, but in reality I would probably wear an LV more often, as it is less "blingy" and fits my daily wardrobe.

LV for me. I do think the 126711 is the nicest looking TT watch Rolex currently makes.
