CHNR is what I would choose. I have one, but it was the watch I was looking for. Looking at them side by side, there is a certain something special about the CHNR. If you plan on owning exactly 1 Rolex, a case could be made for the Batgirl, but in all other situations I think the Rootbeer has much more to offer. I tend to ignore the flipper value play aspect of all valuations, so if that matters a lot to you (which it probably shouldn’t), then you probably have your answer already.

BLNR for certain. Had the CHNR--swapped it almost immediately. Like my BLRO and BLNR and didn't care for the CHNR at all.

stark1 · 8 October 2022, 12:22 PM

Seeing that opinions are all over the place in this thread (as they should since it's highly subjective), I have to believe that the OP is even more confused about his/her decision now.

That said, BLNR all day every day.

they are both great, either way you go you won't be disappointed.....there are other TT watches which are amazing as well, so if you go for the 126710BLNR now then you could look into a TT Everose Datejust or YM later on.....

TBC123 · 8 October 2022, 06:36 PM

TT does not appeal to me as too much ‘bling’ for my taste so vote goes to the Batgirl.

But if your after an opinion I would suggest the BLNR is more practical for everyday, the CHNR is a bit special & a nice statement piece for special occasions

Having both is a nice luxury

BLNR. No doubt.

noshame · 9 October 2022, 08:46 AM

I missed what else you own. Both are beautiful watches. If you have no other SS Professional, my choice would be the BLNR. If you already have SS, then the CHNR would make a lovely addition. Good luck!

Batgirl definitely better as an everyday wear watch or maybe a one watch or small collection watch. CHNR is a little more difficult to pair up with daily attire, but if paired properly to compliment the earthy brown and rose gold tones it's stunning.

depends on what youre going for

Batman on jubilee will impress watch enthusiasts more
CHNR will 100% look more luxurious and impress the common man and women more.

I had both - believe it or not I get way more complements on my BLNR on Jubilee. I had one person that said with my root beer on, “oh brown, that’s nice”. The blue is very attractive and the jubilee just pops. I believe the root beer is more popular in the Rolex community than the general public.

B2 Stealth · 6 March 2023, 05:36 AM

No idea what a "Batgirl" is but love my BLNR over the CHNR.

Dmcnill · 6 March 2023, 05:58 AM

It all depends on your preference but I would wait for the Batgirl.

tagesol · 6 March 2023, 07:51 AM

Batgirl for sure.

Tridor · 6 March 2023, 07:53 AM

Root Beer.

Most likely i would prefer batgirl, cuz i have DJ RG.

If you have a RG TT definitely go for the Batgirl

KatGirl · 6 March 2023, 11:49 AM

Batgirl is a prettier watch. Root beer is a bit more interesting. I’d take th3 Root Beer…

Most steel Rolex will do, only one TT Rolex is worth getting, and it's the Rootbeer. Nothing compares in the TT Rolex to the Rootbeer, and it's the only TT that is > than some steel Rolex including the Batgirl. Notice a high percentage who picked the Batgirl dislike all TT, want the full Rootbeer, Already have a TT, or think steel is more versatile, it's not for not liking the TT Rootbeer.

Oyabun · 6 March 2023, 06:39 PM

Root beer ! If it was a Batman then it would be a harder. Both are nice 👍

chows99 · 6 March 2023, 11:52 PM

I would choose Rootbeer as the everose gold is so lovely. The best TT Rolex in my opinion followed by Daytona TT

Ruvv · 7 March 2023, 12:08 AM

Batgirl

worldofoyster · 7 March 2023, 02:01 AM

tough choice. personally l prefer the batman

Jim_GMT · 7 March 2023, 02:06 AM

Get them both. Very different watches. The blue goes well as a daily watch but now I have started to wear the CHNR, it feels very special. I do prefer the Oyster to the Jubilee for the BLNR but would have a Pespi on jubilee.

tifosi · 7 March 2023, 02:07 AM

LOL. This is like a 2 year old thread. I hope the OP made a decision by now!!!

Jim_GMT · 7 March 2023, 02:14 AM

Oops!

DAGMoney · 7 March 2023, 03:46 AM

Root beer for me. It's a classic, and I've stated feeling much more positive about two tone pieces in the last couple of years.

MinMay · 7 March 2023, 03:52 AM

I pick the rarest one.

BLNR on jubilee is the batgirl. Jubilee really suits the watch IMO
