Hey guys,

I am on the list for both these watches with my AD and I can't make my mind which one I would get if I got the call.

I know the CHNR is the more useful of the two but I do find the RG quite muted.

The DT is obviously the more flashier of the two but I think the white dial is cleaner. If it had a ceramic bezel it would be an absolute no brainer. But as it stands, I think it just looks better then the CHNR.

What would you guys choose?

TIA

Daytona for me

Daytona!

The 'muted' colors of the CHNR is what I like about it...for you, though, it sounds like it has the opposite effect.

My thought is that you should go with the better looking watch, unless, of course, you have a need for the function of one over the other.

I am the biggest daytona fan, but in this case the GMT Root Beer is the clear winner. It is amazing in the flesh.

The first Rolex watch I ever fell in love with over 30 yrs ago was the two-tone black Daytona and I still love it…

Daytona is more comfortable on the wrist.

Tough choice but the CHNR gets my vote.

kwingy · 16 December 2022, 07:25 PM

Thanks for the opinions guys so far!

Chnr TT Rootbeer is the perfect Rolex Two Tone , Daytona is not a nice TT, Daytona is better in either SS or FG in my opinion.

Drand · 16 December 2022, 09:00 PM

It's a tough call to be honest but I'll go for the Daytona.

travisb · 16 December 2022, 09:00 PM

CHNR for me. You said the Daytona looks better to you, so that's the one you should get.

Benzsiam · 16 December 2022, 09:13 PM

No wrong choice here, both are good looking timepieces.

If I were you, I would go with the one that becomes available to me at MSRP first.
