Dear all,
Have the opportunity to buy both at retail. Which one to go for?

Currently have:

GMT BLRO
SD 43
DJ 41 Steel/Jubliee/Fluted/Blue

Cant make my mind up, have had many variations of the Blusey in the past, but never ever had any rose gold in my collection. Love the blue dial but find the GMT a bit "smarter" and less flashy.. Close call please advise!

Handey0465 · 9 January 2021, 03:24 AM

I have the CHNR, and the 126613LB will be my next purchase....

Both are amazing. I only own 1 watch, and its the CHNR. But I have 2 sons. So I need a second.

I'd say go for the CHNR first. You have some blue already in the BLRO and DJ41....

RaZCaL · 9 January 2021, 03:27 AM

Bluesy.

onefishtaco · 9 January 2021, 03:27 AM

Logically, based on your collection... I'd say the sub is next. But I'm such a sucker for GMT's, so I'd probably go in for the sub but walk out with CHNR lol

Chnr

fjack88 · 9 January 2021, 03:44 AM

I’m can sense you want to have rose gold in your collection. CHNR would be my vote!

CHNR for the RG aspect and you won’t be disappointed. The Bluesy if you want to have another model in your collection.

I own the CHNR and the previous “11” Bluesy and they both get wrist time for different reasons but if I had to choose one between the both then the CHNR as the colourways are different plus the functionality

Can't go wrong with either.

Which one do you want?

MattyL147 · 9 January 2021, 03:59 AM

Chnr

Gerardus · 9 January 2021, 04:01 AM

Bluesy, but I am a huge bluesy fan...

Max 66 · 9 January 2021, 04:23 AM

Well you should buy the one that gives to you more emotions.
To make a cold analysis Sub is missing in your collection, you have 2 black dial watches vs. 1 blue dial and you have already 1 two colors bezel.

Chnr

Mystro · 9 January 2021, 04:38 AM

Owned them all. The CHNR is a way different watch than the Bluesy in attitude and wrist presence. Its darker and warmer in a sophisticated but expensive look. Make shure the Everose hue works with your skin. That was the issue I eventually let mine go. It wasnt "bright enough" of a watch on my wrist and personal style. The watch is stunning and one of the biggest models that pics wont do it justice. You will buy it if you see it in person in the good light. Warning you now.

MannySDG · 9 January 2021, 04:41 AM

Both of course!! I know....my Bluesy is only the old model..... Anyways, since you already have a GMT, you should go for the Bluesy since you don't have a Sub yet, on the other hand, you don't have any RG yet.....real toss up for me, both would really be the best answer, if you can swing it!

I have both! The two best TT Rolex models you can buy (if you are lucky).

TswaneNguni · 9 January 2021, 05:47 AM

Always,always the Blue TT Sub .

alphadweller · 9 January 2021, 05:47 AM

Saw the CHNR, didn't like the coppery rose gold nor the brownish colours on the bezel. Tried the blue Sub on, I was flabbergasted. Guess which one I took home.

This should really be a poll we can vote in.

zoenatenich · 9 January 2021, 06:04 AM

You'll have a great GMT duo by selecting CHNR (BLRO and CHNR), then add the 126613LB later for your dive watch collection.

4smanderson · 9 January 2021, 06:06 AM

CHNR all day...everyday.

For me, that's an easy choice ... CHNR! Good luck.

turkeysub93 · 9 January 2021, 07:36 AM

Tough choice...both polarizing watches.

The RG on the CHNR is beautiful but pairing black and brown on the bezel is questionable. I think a solid black bezel would be better suited. Would also prefer a Jubilee bracelet vs. the oyster.

The sunburst dial on the Bluesy is a bit too flashy. A dial similar to that of the old Smurf would be preferred. For the life of me I also cannot shake the notion that this particular reference is the most Invicta-esque looking Rolex.

dnd2984 · 9 January 2021, 08:13 AM

Blusey.........But also get the CHNR one day :)

brandrea · 9 January 2021, 08:14 AM

CHNR if the tone works well with your complexion

LDN · 9 January 2021, 08:20 AM

Chnr usually win out in a poll, and a lot of time by a landslide on this forum!

Harry-57 · 9 January 2021, 08:23 AM

You win either way. Which one do you like best?

Personally I would go for CHNR first for its broader functionality and a truly clever and gorgeous colour and texture palette.

For a Bluesy, I'd go 116613LB. Notwithstanding the full AR treatment, new movement, fractionally different case and lugs, it's the white font on the 12 series that kills it for me. Even grey/silver would do, although I don't think the gold font can be beaten on that dial/bezel combination.

Both beauties.

Bigmozza · 9 January 2021, 08:45 AM

If I was you I’d get them both problem sorted, two great watches I have the Bluesy and love it, but would take a CHNR all day long, nice problem to have good luck 👍🏻
