I have a minty Bluesy that is approximately four years old. I am not bonding with the two tone aspect. A little too blingy for me. I don’t wear it much.

I have several other Rolexes, most of the field covered.

Thinking of trading it. I like the Rolex GMT Root Beer. I know it’s also two tone, but it’s more subtle. Unfortunately, it’s fairly unobtainable near MSRP.

I always admired the Lange 1, but it’s pretty high priced and I am pretty stocked with dress watches. Also, I go to less dressy events than ever. There are Glasshutte Originals that hit the same button for a third less.

Open to creative suggestions. Just thought we’d get some brainstorming going.

Presently awaiting a Chnr and there much more muted on the wrist ,,,,
Best of luck if you do go for one,,,,

Breguet !!! Check out their Marine line of watches, and their Classique line.

stevestil · 20 February 2022, 04:09 AM

I love my two tone root beer but subtle is definitely not the way to describe the watch by any means lol

I would rethink this one

Steel Daytona. It looks great, comfortable and it’s a classic.

I love Glashutte. Have the PanomaticLunar Green dial. You can get them at a discount.

How about a Hublot??

TunaTuna · 20 February 2022, 06:20 AM

Wow you are all over the place. I'd wait till you find something you love, then sell the bluesy to buy it. Not the other way around

RobJohnFL · 20 February 2022, 09:33 AM

I wouldn’t trade a bluesy for a chnr.

rolexpure · 20 February 2022, 10:31 AM

The bluesy is MILES nicer than a CHNR.

Trust me when I had the CHNR next to a Bluesy it wasnt even comparable.

henrylee · 20 February 2022, 10:34 AM

I had both, can say the CHNR is the better choice if you want less bling.

Agree. I've also had both, kept the CHNR. All a matter of personal preference, but the Root Beer is a bit more subtle because of the gold tone.

wetsum3 · 20 February 2022, 10:39 AM

I think the blue dial on the sub is insane. Yes, it's a loud watch but I love that piece. If you can pull it off then have fun with it.

scarlet knight · 20 February 2022, 11:01 AM

I’ll wear it a little more in the summer and see how I feel about it.

+1 for GO. If you have the wrist for it: Blancpain FF, Royal Oak Offshore, Seiko Prospex SNR 029 or 033.

They would be big on my 6.5 inch wrist.

If your wrist is large enough. My suggestions are all large watches.

Seddyspaghetti · 20 February 2022, 11:33 AM

I’d do it for the chnr

tropicwatches · 20 February 2022, 01:43 PM

I'd have to agree that a Daytona may be the logical next step.
