The watch I wish I had is on the table, the BLNR on jubilee, beautiful, elegant GMT. If you ask me to choose between the SUB LV or the CHNR I will take the CHNR.

I'm not a fan of TT watches. And green is not my color. I passed on both.

CHNR but I’m biased. And it looks really good on a rubber strap too.

The Kermit is boring, ugly and unoriginal... But it trades a lot over retail so it's free money.
The Rootbeer is only slightly over retail, but it's so damn beautiful in person.

Striking how different people's tastes are. Others say they dislike TT but love the CHNR. I love TT (I own a 1675 root beer and a current bluesy) but really dislike the CHNR. I find the colors very underwhelming (yes I've seen it in person) and the dressier aspects of rose gold and the muted bezel colors clash stylistically with the brutish maxi-case. Taking price/value out of the picture, I struggle to think of a single watch in the entire Rolex catalog that I wouldn't pick over the CHNR.

Lots of differing opinions,I never considered a TT till I tried on a SD43 TT, been a year now and haven't worn another watch since.
Hope you find the one you want and enjoy wearing it.

It really comes down to personal preference

agree, blro oyster will bring more variety to OP collection, but actually I like the blro jubilee more.

CHNR is such a great looking combo especially in full RG. The Sub LV is also a great watch but if only one I would have to go CHNR.

Tried on the exhibition Rootbeer and I wasn’t totally impressed but I would still take it over Cermit. If it was between RB and Hulk then it would be a different story.

Interesting reading the responses. Seems almost 50/50 between fellow members. Tough one for me as I like both, but I think I'd choose the Cermit.

Just keep both. If you don’t wear one after 3 months, move that one along.

I kid you not, everytime I wear my GMT II Rootbeer out, EVERYONE stares at it and some people always ask what kind of watch is that?

This by far has been the most head turner from the watches I have in my rotation! (This includes Hulk, batgirl, turquoise OP and Coral red OP, Sub C)
