I own both and they are different. The Bluesy is bright and blingy and the CHNR is subtle but elegant. Color scheme different. It is really a personal preference but I could not choose between them which is why I own both. Let us know what you choose.

ducatiti · 25 May 2023, 12:44 PM

Perhaps for an only watch or small collection, Rootbeer?

cinli · 25 May 2023, 01:57 PM

I’m a huge fan of blue watches, I definitely go with the bluesy.

jimcarver · 25 May 2023, 03:59 PM

Surprised by the results, but then i don't like the rootbeer at all

APPRF · 25 May 2023, 04:31 PM

Rootbeer single handedly revived the love for the TT Rolex. Before the Rootbeer most wouldn't consider TT. Root Beer by a mile. The Rootbeer has a huge handicap in the poll because most owners of something vote for it. The Bluesy was in production for so many years it has huge ownership.

Agamemnon · 25 May 2023, 04:46 PM

Neither. I don't like the double tone, it's either all steel or it's all gold.

danwang0520 · 25 May 2023, 04:56 PM

one watch, go for Submariner without a doubt......in a collection, go for GMT

usually, a lot of people have both in their collection

Gerardus · 25 May 2023, 06:43 PM

I am a

% Bluesy fan! For steel go with a Airking, OP, Explorer I or II
Bi color all the way!

travisb · 25 May 2023, 08:00 PM

I prefer the more vibrant colors on the Sub. Both are beautiful though.

What we like and what appeals to each of us is a very personal thing. There's no "enlightening" you. You either like something or you don't.

I'd rather pay grey price for a CHNR than retail for an LV. Which I did. I like rose gold. I wanted a GMT. I love how it looks and wears.

Personally, I find the TT Blue sub far too "1980's used car dealer" But many on here love it.

Flint · 26 May 2023, 01:24 AM

Love them both but for me has to be bluesy

spellmanski · 26 May 2023, 02:14 AM

Feel like blusey has to be worn in a sunny / warm climate

Looks good on an overcast day too.

nyc2la · 26 May 2023, 03:03 AM

Bluesy for me (I went with the 5 digit variety)

Too funny! Good choice. The TT bluesy is far nicer than the full YG imo. The full YG looks better with the black dial

pendlepants · 26 May 2023, 05:35 AM

total Sophie's choice for me — I prefer the GMT to the submariner, but maaan I love that blue dial in the sun. maybe choose based on your preference for gold color?

JPS · 26 May 2023, 06:59 AM

Poll is neck & neck

Fair enough. Thanks for your reply.

That being said, I’d rather go with the GMT in all black than the Rootbeer.

I must be an outcast in regards to these matters.

LDN · 26 May 2023, 10:25 AM

Chnr!

Xelor5513 · 26 May 2023, 11:24 AM

Since I have both, I have to ask myself which one would I part with if forced to make that decision... Very reluctantly, I would let the CHNR go

I find the bluesy to be more versatile.

msum · 26 May 2023, 06:37 PM

I think I pushed the thread toward the CHNR by one vote!

And that’s the one of the two I don’t own…
