Submariner LN vs CHNR Root Beer

[noshame]

To clarify, you have a SubDate 126610LN, correct? Just making sure because you refer to it as the Submariner LN and Sub 41 LN in your post. If it's the SubDate, I'd choose that over the CHNR. But I'd choose the BLNR on jubilee over both. Good luck!

Me too! I had the CHNR and black sub. BLNR on jubilee to my eyes is way better than both.

Depends on your lifestyle
I’ve got both but would pick sub if could only be one

I handled a Batman and prefer the Sub over it. The sleekness of all black looks a lot better to me than a half blue half black bezel combo. But the CHNR looks very nice indeed, an upgrade to both at the moment, for me.

Yes to each their own. Owed the black sub and BLNR. After owning the BLNR never wanted to wear the black sub again. The BLNR is the best of both worlds. You get the black sleek look with a pop of the best blue I think Rolex makes. Plus the jubilee bracelet is so comfortable. I did trade the black sub in for the SubLV and just love it. I just pops and more interesting to look at. Had the CHNR as well. I liked it but the brown was too light brown in natural light. Have to really love brown.

To me the Batman is the worst GMT. It doesn't know what it wants to be. The Pepsi is outgoing, the Sub LN is the most sleek. Batman looks confused and half-assed. So yeah to each their own - a reason why Rolex makes so many models - something for everybody.

Yeah to me the BLNR is the only GMT I like. Matter of fact, when I ask people that don’t know anything about watches, they all say the BLNR on jubilee. It is perfect to me as the black represents the night sky and the blue the day. Just love the blue. I like the blue more than I had on my datejust41. Went through about 10 different watches to get to my perfect concept of a watch which is the BLNR. But the LV has quickly become a close second. If I had to just have one, I can make an argument for the SubLN over either of mine, but if just one would keep the LN over the CHNR.

Alright, thanks for your opinion. Personally I hate the BLNR so that's out.

I am currently swayed by the CHNR - the sub is getting boring lately. The CHNR looked stunning inside with artificial lighting, I'll have to take a look with it outside.

I just added my CHNR shots above. In artificial light it looks darker, more burgundy, outside it looks milky brown.

GMT wins out for me. THE Aviation watch which does it all!

Thanks. I do see what you're saying. I am not sure how I would feel about it personally - need to try it out in person in sunlight.

I hope you like it regardless because for me, 50% of the time it was the best looking watch I have ever seen!

I have both, my Sub being the 116610. I'd take my CHNR any day. In every situation I would wear my Sub I could wear one of my Black Bay's and be perfectly happy.

The CHNR is just so much more.
