Better is subjective - SKY Dweller for me.

Smarter - GMT for me.

Owned them both. Now only own a blue dial Sky-Dweller on Oyster bracelet. CHRN never resonated with me. BLRO is the only GMT MasterII for me.

There’s NO better or smarter. The best and smartest choice between those two, is the one you will enjoy the most on your wrist.
Neither are investment type Watches

Rolex as an investment

Hi, In your opinion, which model can be taken as a profitable investment, with potential growth in the future. Is it even possible to have 3 to ten 5 per year on any model?

I looked hard at both models last month and the CHNR's sumptuous beauty caught me more than the SkyD Blue's complicated coolness.

If you hold both in your hand at the same time, you'll end up with the CHNR.. ;)

If you are asking for investment purposes, then don't. You can get far better returns on your money in other avenues than a watch can bring.

If you actually want it to wear, then only you can answer that question and not a bunch a strangers. As others have said, wear the one that speaks to you the most.

No wrong choice, both are great timepieces.

I have both of them and love them very much.

Is one more useful to you than the other? Which do you like more? Problem solved.
