I'd go for the CHNR but the SkyD makes more sense however if you really want a blue dial then don't force this, you have to love the actual watch not just the place in the collection.

Only two for me would be the new 126715 GMT or DD40 with olive green dial.

CHNR. I've never even seen one in person, but I know it will look better than in pics...and in pics it looks amazing.

I’ve seen both in person and photos don’t do either justice. I think skyD is much more striking but there is definitely a more casual rugged look on the root beer.

Thanks for all the inputs. Needless to say, still not decided.

Will see if my AD has both so i can compare side by side.

Thought of the TT YM since my wife has the small version. But it doesnt sing to me.

CHNR. By a mile.

Get the blue Sky...that's what you want, anyway.

Between those two, I think I'd go CHNR at the moment. Although if I were personally buying a full RG Rolex, which I'm actually currently considering, I'd be choosing between the DD40 and the 116505 Daytona.

Both are great choices but you can't beat the CHNR!

CHNR TT, after seeing it in person it's by far one of the nicest and most beautiful watches I've ever seen.

Between those two, I’d go with the Sky Dweller if it’s not too big for you.
