GMT all day for me.

I prefer GMT in general. The CHNR is more unique, classy and subtle.

I’ll give the sub points for the dial though.

Both, it’s always both

But if I must I’d go bluesy, hands down my favorite two-tone watch and that blue dial is an absolute stunner.

As a past bluesy owner and current Pepsi owner, I would pick the Bluesy over the rootbeer every time without hesitation. The Bluesy is, IMO, the best two tone watch Rolex makes. I miss mine.

Sorry to hear. Curious why did you sell?

Not gonna lie as I've read somewhere and somewhat agree that the Bluesy is very photogenic and may look better in pictures than in person..

Love them both equal. The bluesy for it color and pop. The root beer for its more low key class. Love them both.

I sold it because I got an unexpected call from my AD offering the Pepsi and couldn’t quite swing both at the time. I thought the Bluesy would be easier to secure from an AD down the line than getting a second Pepsi allocation so I jumped on the Pepsi and sold the Bluesy. Although I miss the Bluesy a lot, I’m also relieved I don’t have it anymore. I work in NYC and generally feel a little uncomfortable taking subways with certain watches. The Bluesy is way too flashy for me to be comfortable wearing on the NYC subways and to wear it as a weekend/WFH watch seems silly.

Good call. Blro is definitely hard to acquire these days unless you go grey which is even more the grey price for a bluesy :)

I own, wear, and love both equally. If forced to choose, I would keep the LB. Just love the look of it.

Bluesy looks way better in person than on the internet IMHO.

The Submariner for me. Rolex RG does not work for my skin tone.

Any Sub versus any other model thread, the Sub will always win ��

I own both and love them both but I always thought that the Rootbeer would look better with a chocolate dial

I like the new white print on the Sub but my vote goes to the CHNR.
Rolex did a home run with that one
