BLRO Pepsi vs CHNR TT Root Beer. Let’s see who wins.

This post needed a poll, so there you go. Hope the OP doesn’t mind.

Blro

GMT Aviator · 19 December 2019, 09:41 PM

Chnr

Podmornica · 19 December 2019, 09:45 PM

Tough call on this one! I do not own any, and I guess if I can exclude all the BLRO hype affecting my judgement I would go for the CHNR!

travisb · 19 December 2019, 10:03 PM

I prefer the colors of the BLRO and SS over TT.

1William · 19 December 2019, 10:07 PM

BLRO as Rose gold does not work for me.

brandrea · 19 December 2019, 10:16 PM

The BLRO easily wins for me.

There are several iconic timepieces known the world over from different brands. Arguably the Rolex blro GMT is one of them ... this modern take on the original is a beauty IMO

They're both beautiful, however the CHNR wins for me. The perfect combination of color and material.

superdog · 19 December 2019, 11:35 PM

wow, way closer than I would have thought.

1665fan · 19 December 2019, 11:35 PM

Blro all day

The BLRO is the watch to have thanks to the hype. Lot of people follow the trend for FOMO.

Obviously it's a really nice watch but imho looks a bit cold and dull if compared to the CHNR especially looking at them side by side.

In the same time TT still has a negative stigma which affects popularity.

For me the CHNR is perhaps the nicest Rolex ever made.

HTXdev14 · 19 December 2019, 11:49 PM

I’m conflicted. I have a CHNR and absolutely LOVE it. But I’m currently waiting on a BLRO and have always loved that watch. So.... why not both? Lol

noshake · 19 December 2019, 11:59 PM

CHNR looks nice in photos. But it has to compliment your skin tone. BLNR for the win!

I'll say it....neither for me thanks. Don't care for the hype. I mean, I'll take one at retail and flip it though:)

I'm not flashy enough for the rose gold. I'll wear a 116334 or 126600 with a suit, 116660 or Planet Ocean chrono casually.

ricardoo · 20 December 2019, 01:39 AM

I love the TT CHNR !

Chnr

Podmornica · 20 December 2019, 03:57 AM

Whoa, the CHNR is holding pretty good from what I have expected, considering these two now have almost the same price on the gray market.

60% vs 40% in favor of BLRO. Thought the BLRO would smash it completely considering the extended hype.

iwenger · 20 December 2019, 04:35 AM

I see from the current status of the poll, the CHNR crew is pretty outnumbered. Granted I've never seen a BLRO in person, but that rose gold just gets me every time!

I'm beginning to feel that way about the CHNR too. For me, the more I wear it the more I seem to appreciate how good it is. I was waiting on the BLRO when I got the offer of the CHNR, glad I pulled the trigger. I will still take the BLRO when that opportunity presents itself, but will always favour the CHNR. It really is a great watch and a future classic I feel.

mjr2000 · 20 December 2019, 07:20 AM

I picked up root beer today. Had Pepsi for about 2 months. They are very different from each other and I honestly love them equally. The two tone Root beer on my wrist is awesome. I love the gold. If i had to pick one of them it would be a real tough decision. A lot depends on what else is owned.

APPRF · 20 December 2019, 06:52 PM

Bump

Manu74 · 20 December 2019, 07:27 PM

Both are great watches.
I have a slight preference for the BLRO, as I normally don't like TT that much. In this case however, the CHNR looks fantastic and is by far the best TT IMHO.

I know, right? The CHNR is a spectacular piece.
