This decision shouldn't be made without trying both on and preferably during the same visit. I second the idea that skin tone plays a major role in what looks best on you. No way to know without trying both on and comparing.

The Rb is a fantastic piece I’ve owned it twice. My only issue is because it’s gold, because it’s soft it scratches easy and looks worn quickly. The spire I’ve owned it 3 times now and it’s fantastic. For me it would be sprite

Op, I like them both, the lefty has a bit of a getting used to curve? And I’m a lefty.
Try them on both on if available and see how look and feel then you can decide, there is also a price difference SS vs TT.

Either one works for me!

Cheers,

Love the root beer, especially if you’re right handed. But if sprite sings to you - buy it! You can’t go wrong - even on the wrong wrist.

I own the CHNR and love it. The Sprite is too much of an odd ball for me.

What are everyone's thoughts on the longevity of the CHNR in Rolex's collection. Will it be discontinued at some point? If so, the price will surely shoot up in the secondary market. I don't really care because I will never, ever sell mine--but it's nice to think about.

I am a lefty and placed it on my right wrist for the photo! It feels fine on my left wrist as all my watches. I fell out of love with my rootbeer.

Rootbeer has precious metal so better in my eyes and I can't get used to the date and crown being backward on the sprite.

Root beer is a stunner. Sprite is an odd ball. Both cool in their own right.

VTNR for me as it is more unique and rare. Rootbeer is everywhere.

If wear on Right go sprite, if on Left go RB.
Also if buying for investment purpose then consider Sprite, the bezel color combo makes it easier to mix with your style , You can't go wrong with either of them, if RB sings to you buy and enjoy it.
