The BLNR is a weird color combination imho whilst the CHNR is pure elegance

I've never liked the BLNR. I was offered one by my AD in 2020. I have to give it credit for looking borderline fantastic in person. It really works. I still don't like it enough but I can see why so many people do.

If you like them equally and would find it difficult to choose if offered, you're a winner whichever way you go.
Harry nailed it.

I also think if only one watch this is not contest as blnr is a fantastic everyday watch. Root beer is good in a deeper collection.

Blue vs brown…tough choice…lol BLNR all day, night, weekdays, weekends! Not to mention a fantastic blue vs an odd brown. Having had the root beer, for me it is not even a comparison. Maybe add the root beer into a larger collection, that is about it.

That's where I'm at. If I had to pick just one, BLNR. But if I could somehow have both it would be ideal

Pretty surprising, if we take the coin flippers and add them to the CHNR column then it's an even 50:50 split

SS band typically but I use an evertrue band with blue stripe to match the dial sometimes. 20220521_201355.jpg20220521_201405.jpg

Nice pic and voted CHNR. You have to see it in the flesh to appreciate how good looking the watch is.
