Bluesy!
For me, Root Beer only in full gold.

vika01 · 2 February 2022, 06:53 PM

Bluesy. I don’t like the color combination on the Rootbeer.

Hank · 2 February 2022, 06:56 PM

Had both but flipped the CHNR. I prefer blue over brown.

Rootbeer

WILLIWALKER · 2 February 2022, 07:04 PM

126613LB 100%! Classic Rolex for me like a Daydate YG or a TT DJ ! Also the case of the 1266xx is more harmonious than the 1267xx

RJM25R · 2 February 2022, 07:07 PM

Bluesy is the classic. I can’t help but feel that rose gold is nearing the end of its day in the sun but YMMV

I always feel RG is more suited to the ladies personally

youthagainsttt · 2 February 2022, 07:21 PM

I've owned the bluesey before, sold it. No regrets, so i'll go rootbeer

rolexpure · 2 February 2022, 09:48 PM

Bluesy 10000%

So much nicer that blue sunburst face and blue bezel.

1William · 2 February 2022, 09:52 PM

I prefer the Submariner and the YG.

Flint · 2 February 2022, 09:58 PM

No wrong choice as both are great watches but for me I would go bluesy !

watchwatcher · 3 February 2022, 12:15 AM

Cru,

Two of the best, IMO. I didn't vote bc there's no way I could make the call one's better than the other.

Since you already have the LV-C, I might give the nod to the CHNR, but having another starburst dial - especially blue! - would be pretty spectacular as well.

As far as appearance, well, they're both flat out gorgeous, but, I think the CHNR is a little more subdued, so whatever look you're going for, that might help with the decision.

Good luck!

I used to be squarely in the CHNR camp, but with this LB generation’s white text and proportions, I find myself very drawn to the LB in a way I hadn’t before.

I voted CHNR but have to agree, the white text is a draw for me as well.

Some don’t like it but I think it adds a level of contrast to the dial

Thanks all. Appreciate all the comments and votes. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for these thoughts, Larry. Agreed, they are both beautiful, which makes it so hard!

You're right, I have that amazing sunburst green, but I also am lucky enough to have more "subdued" watches with black and silver dials. So, maybe the "pop" of the blue & YG is what I "need".... I can just imagine being at the beach or on the snow with the YG and sunburst blue.

If this were my only watch or maybe one of a duo, I probably would think differently. And up until recently, I had seriously debated the CHNR vs. black SS Daytona.

So, who knows? This is why I started this thread.

Hi Brian.

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me. The white text changed everything about the watch for me...And in the grand scheme of things, it's really not that much of a difference!

Galion · 3 February 2022, 01:15 AM

Bluesy of those two, I dont like the CHNR brownish/maroon bezel

AK797 · 3 February 2022, 01:41 AM

Both are very nice, but as the second guy on the forum to ever buy the Blue YG Subc I have to go with that blue TT.

Easy E · 3 February 2022, 02:20 AM

LB off the high, high ring rope, for the smack down. That's the one.

bmrk · 3 February 2022, 02:32 AM

Can't go against the bluesy

Inthesticks · 3 February 2022, 03:40 AM

RB all the way.

Manamana · 3 February 2022, 04:04 AM

Rootbeer

B2 Stealth · 3 February 2022, 06:58 AM

I’m not sure how anyone could ever think that the CHNR looks better than the Bluesy but to each their own

ltmgeller · 3 February 2022, 12:14 PM

Bluesy would be my vote

GST15 · 3 February 2022, 12:14 PM

Agree, GMT wins it for me

i would go w/ the rootbeer out of the two but i would agree w/ myporsche, plus i'm a little partial to the sea dweller. i love the size of it.

henrylee · 4 February 2022, 09:02 AM

CHNR is the winner between the two.

Fritzli · 4 February 2022, 09:16 AM

With 1 meter distance the CHNR is just a boring, fade watch compared to the Bluesy for my eyes!

bestwatch1 · 5 February 2022, 11:47 AM

Bluesy.
