I enjoy SS, PM, and TT Rolex models. I've had my 116710LN for 8 years and my TT CHNR for a few months.

I figured I would like my CHNR more than my LN; but I was wrong!

I wear them both and enjoy both of them; but if I could only keep one of them, it would be my LN!

Take a shot showing your body and we should get a better idea.

Root beer wins, I really didn't expect that, usually SS models win those battles!

I’ve got both. The LN is my daily and has been for years and as a daily it’s pretty much perfect.

....but the CHNR is stunning. There’s no other watch like it and it’s been born a timeless classic. If I didn’t have the LN, the CHNR would be my daily.

It in a collection, rootbeer. As a one and only, the LN.
Both look good but don't see rootbeer as a daily

Normally I'd vote TT but the brown on the bezel ruins it for me. I think I was scarred as a child and to this day can't wear the color brown. Belts, shoes, clothing, nothing. I'm glad I don't work for UPS.

I’m biased, given I’ve been enjoying the CHNR myself. Yet, the LN is so much more common and perhaps less interesting. The Root Beer also works well with your skin tone.

I have a Polar. I would now like a GMT Master with a bit of contrast on the bezel for day/night time. Something different compared to what I have now. And something a bit more visually striking. The Pepsi would do it but I don't like how it looks on the Jubilee and in any case, I'm more likely to own a Unicorn. So the CHNR it is for me. Or will be - when my turn comes. I'm at number eight with my AD.

Looks like the root beer is a formidable adversary. a Pepsi or Batman comparison next.

The LN is just a nice black bezel Rolex, one of millions, it looks ok on you, as it should.

The CHNR is just a different, more exotic animal altogether, the way the colours play together and the richness of the rose gold against the black and tan, game over!!
