I had a chance to try on the vtnr, blnr and chnr recently, and I was amazed at the differences.
- the chnr was definitely the most elegant of the three, so I could see selecting it if you want the dressier option, - the blnr is very bright. The blue is unmistakable. Very sporty - the vtnr. I did not think I would like this model at all before I saw it. The green/black is really something special. The reversed date window is a bit disconcerting, but being a righty and having the crown not poking my wrist is a plus. If I could have one = vtnr. |

I’ve got them both & id go for the Sprite VTNR. Unique, different, special from standpoint. Would also make a great daily as well.

It all depends on what you exactly want, but Rootbeer will do a good job for me.

Root beer. The “sprite” is fugly in my opinion although as a future value proposition it’s this.
Rootbeer though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Both are great options. In my opinion there are so many other green choices for Rolex, but there's nothing quite like the Rootbeer.
In my collection I opted for the Rootbeer GMT and the 126610LV-002 for some green. |

Rootbeer for the win!
I could just about tolerate the Sprite if they didn't also put the date wheel on the left! |

I'm a leftie, I wear my watches on my right wrist.
When the VTNR came out, I thought it was weird looking though I like the Black/Green bezel. The CHNR is a beautiful watch, but I really don't want to wear TT watches. I have never owned a left hand watch, and I already own a BLNR, I would go Sprite. |

CHNR. Left handed watches looks strange to me.

My vote is for the Rootbeer... but if you have a chance to try both on, that would help since they're similar but different.

Not everyone is a fan of two-tone, but the Root Beer is probably the best execution of two-tone that I've seen.
Root Beer for me. |

This decision shouldn't be made without trying both on and preferably during the same visit. I second the idea that skin tone plays a major role in what looks best on you. No way to know without trying both on and comparing.

The Rb is a fantastic piece I’ve owned it twice. My only issue is because it’s gold, because it’s soft it scratches easy and looks worn quickly. The spire I’ve owned it 3 times now and it’s fantastic. For me it would be sprite

Op, I like them both, the lefty has a bit of a getting used to curve? And I’m a lefty.
Try them on both on if available and see how look and feel then you can decide, there is also a price difference SS vs TT. Either one works for me! Cheers, |
