BLRO vs CHNR

[sensui]

I still like the BLRO better.....

[Rilz]

A plus vote for CHNR I'm not a fan of jubilee bracelet.

I'm super offended . I've owned both and, for me, they are far and away the 2 best looking Rolex Two-Tone watches.

The chnr is the more attractive watch and I’d even say more reserved

[TickTockChuck]

I'd say the CHNR is a relatively more subdued reference with the lovely closer to flesh tone Everose gold which is a more personal pleasure. Whereas the brighter red against blue bezel along with the multifaceted Jubilee braclet most certainly catches and reflects more sparkles of light than the smoother oyster. Just go to an AD and try on a DJ41 with a Jubilee and Oyster braclet (look into a full body mirror while moving your wrist around and you will see). BTW I'm starting to think more of getting a CHNR instead of the BLRO. Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

It seems ridiculous for me to suggest one can’t compare the two, but I really think these two are totally different watches living in the same case and bezel. The colors of the BLRO suggest a casual watch. The CHNR color combo with everose suggests elegance. I think they’re unique enough they can easily coexist in a collection.

Yes, I saw that video and my eyes kept gravitating to her watch. There's just something about the jubilee on a sports model.

[JMtimes5]

It’s the CHNR for me.

I don't think I can help here they are both so nice in different ways. Just get both! I'm considering all three (+ all RG) so how is that for enabling? 🤯

CHNR for the win and I’m not a big two tone guy, but they killed the color way on this model

Both are beautiful but I’d have to go with the BLRO. I happen to think the jubilee is refreshing in the GMT lineup.

Such a great thread. Two beautiful watches, one third say the BLRO is more flashy, one third day the CHNR; one third say both and half say neither. Only one way to settle.

That would be one gorgeous watch. I always loved the look of the old root beer on a jubilee strap. I would buy that in a heartbeat (availability dependent of course!).

Your line of thinking is expensive!

Just go the full hog and get the Batman too...Thats what I did

You know what they say..Whats better than a GMT? 2 GMTs...and we all know whats better than 2 GMTs......Thats right 3 GMTs

Don’t like the Jubilee and really digging the root beer, so that’s how I would go if buying on gray market, but if offered both by AD, id take Pepsi all day long and buy subC Glidelock bracelet and still have money left over.

I’m only 1.5 years into Rolex and I’m getting the idea a grail doesn’t exist with this illness.

[Bagman]

I love the jubilee band.

I suppose that both are about equal in terms of flashiness, which is to say that neither is very flashy but more so than a steel Rolex on an Oyster bracelet. The Jubilee bracelet and red of the BLRO catches the eye a bit but so does the rose gold of the CHNR. Still, the CHNR is definitely the least flashy two tone Rolex I've seen and the rose gold with the brown bezel looks really gorgeous.

I like both watches and think both could easily exist in a collection. If you're only choosing one, I think it would depend on what you were going to wear it with. If you dress casually in jeans a lot, the BLRO is the obvious choice but if you wear mostly business casual with browns, tans, grays, and purples, the CHNR would be a better match.

[waters10k]

The BLRO stands out more because of the red and blue bezel

[ahlee00023]

They're both flashy in their own ways. If I had to choose one, I'd go for the CHNR.

Chnr all day long

BLRO is more flashy in my opinion.

Originally liked the BLRO, maybe because of all the hype but the CHNR is quickly growing on me and I'm caring less for the BLRO

[Dean88]

CHNR for me

[joli160]

BLRO is flashier, red blue and jubilee, the CHNR is class

So which one is your favourite?

[Bobby83]

Not a fan of jubilee bracelets on “sports” models. Think they look great on just dates and or day dates.

Assuming both at retail:
CHNR looks better, more dressy/elegant
BLRO has better value, investment potential, more sporty, easier to polish stainless steel

[wulin]

BLRO and it's not even close.
