I'm really fond of the CHNR. The colors are Chocolate and Black. I don't see any reference to root beer except in the minds of those who can't move past yesterday. It's a new watch and the best looking two tone bezel GMT that Rolex is currently got in production, IMHO.
At the risk of offending other members, the blue on the BLNR reminds me of the royal blue double breasted suits from the 60s. The BLRO is too much of a throw back to the original GMTs with the wrong color; not wanting a Jubilee bracelet either. The CHNR to me is a new watch, new color, like the BLNR was except muted and pretty not harsh and garish.
I guess I'll be in it close to alone. I really don't understand the need to label it as a Root Beer considering Rolex has labeled it as Chocolate. Whatever...
