They are both great and I had a hard time choosing. I did not like the idea of having two of the same watches. So I kept the LN, then later traded it for the BLNR, then traded that for the CHNR. So in the end, I chose the CHNR. I loved the LN dearly, especially with the hint of corporate green and the everyday nature of the all stainless. However, having the 3285 movement trumped the 3186 for me and I really enjoy the rose gold.

If investment value is driving your decision, sell both and buy the S&P500!

Personally I’d keep the one that will bring me the most enjoyment.

Investment value aside, i think the chnr is a far more interesting piece and would hang on to it.

Exactly what I thought till seeing one in the flesh. I don’t think this watch will suit certain demographics. You have to be cool to pull this watch off.

Root Beer, but not for any value. But because it has a little pep in its step compared to the LN. I love rose gold.

LN as an only. CHNR as part of a larger collection.

I already have an LN and love it, BUT I recently told my wife that I would really like to own a CHNR!

I'd go with the LN but am biased since I have one and am not a fan of TT. Lol.

If either is kept for investment reasons, you will need to box it up and put it away. Condition is everything.

Rootbeer. Only for the reason I like it better and not investment purposes.

I have them both. Keep them both. Then buy other variations. Love them. Have the black ceramic, the root bear. the Pepsi, the Batman, and my all time grail, the Pepsi meteorite. Rolex watches are like BJ’s. You can never have too many and variety makes it even better

Not sure about values but I've always preferred ss. I have a Blnr from my AD and then he offered me a Root Beer with a small discount when he had two in stock, nice looker but I just couldn't warm up enough to pull the trigger. So being biased I'd say keep the LN.

Agree

I don't think it looks good. If you really need us to pick , I would say chnr but on my wrists it would look like this pic and I'm not happy with that look.

Hard to say without seeing your whole collection.
Keep the CHNR if you have another SS piece that you love.
Keep the LN for your one and only.
Everyone needs a nice SS piece.
