Thank you for the replies everyone! What about if the Pepsi jubilee was added into the mix?!

Speaking only for myself, Panda. But RB is a close second.

Daytona SS > GMT BLNR > SUB 41 > Rootbeer > Bluesy for me personally. I'm also not a fan of TT watches so thats a huge reason for ranking the way I did.

If I were starting out looking to buy my first I’d go with the Submariner.
You’ll eventually land there anyway

In terms of beauty, my opinion..
Bluesy Rootbeer Panda Batgirl Sub - if it was green would move above Panda. If I had to choose only one watch to own it would be the Batgirl. |

Had all 3. Only have the BLNR now. Not even close. Had the bluesy 3 times. The BLNR blue is better. Had the root beer, looks milky brown in real life. The jubilee is also a winner, more comfortable, better looking and scratches way less.
I noticed you added 2 others - BLNR way over the sub LN, it is too boring. Can’t speak to the Daytona as I never had it. If I had to rank them: BLNR Jubilee Daytona (LN would be my choice) Sub date LN Root beer Bluesy If the SubLN was LV, would have it before the white Daytona and after the black the Daytona.

I have 4 of the 5 models that you are comparing. I don't have a Daytona, but I have YM 40, which is a similar case to the Daytona. I will say that this is the most comfortable on the wrist for me.
Of the ones I have, for comfort I rate the Batgirl, Rootbeer, Submariner, and Bluesy for comfort. Batgirl above the Rootbeer for weight. Submariner above the Sub Bluesy for same reason. GMT's above Subs for size. On strictly looks, I rate them Rootbeer, Bluesy, Batgirl, Submariner |

The Rootbeer is the most unique of all the watches and a beautiful watch. I would have to rank that number 1 by far! The rose gold is subtle and looks a lot like a Submariner in many lighting situations. I've owned the Sub Bluesy, and I really like the color scheme, but unless I spent a lot of time in a coastal environment, I could not see me wearing the watch that much. It is really flashy and attracts a lot of attention. The Batgirl is another one of my favorites and is my go to watch this past year (aside from my Tudor GMT). My rankings are:
1. Rootbeer 2. Batgirl 3. Sub Bluesy 4. Submariner |

Just another random set of opinions, from someone who likes less colour on watches...
1. Submariner - iconic and classic 2. Batgirl - GMT on jubilee (though would put GRNR alongside Submariner) 3. Panda - aside of full RG, this is the nicest Daytona IMO 4. Rootbeer - beautiful but dislike the PCL 5. Bluesy - flat out dislike! |

#1 Rootbeer. Its virtually peerless in its how it so uniquely constructed.
#2. Batgirl (this was always my favorite SS GMT, altho I prefer the oyster bracelet. #3. Bluesy. ***To be fully transparent, I’m just not the right person to comment on that one because its not my personal |

My 116610LN is my favorite watch of all time.
However, the CHNR is a very close 2nd. Only slightly less because I don’t think it could be a “one and only” for me as the Sub could. That said, imho, the rootbeer is the most beautiful piece Rolex makes. I know many would disagree but I’m very into earthy tones, combine that with GMT function. WINNER!

116 panda is in a league of its own, refined, and wears completely different than the rest of options it is by far the most comfortable so if it’s for you in the same mix then go for it
Then comes the batgirl (pepsi if possible would be a winner) Chnr SUB is a great first choice and keeper but is not that comfortable when sitting on the wrist when compared to GMTs |

Out of curiosity, what makes the GMT more comfortable than the Sub? Unless you’re talking jubilee, then I get it. But if we’re talking oyster to oyster, I would assume the case is basically the same so wouldn’t the edge go to the glidelock on the Sub? I’ve never tried on a GMT so I’m genuinely curious.
