The CHNR is stunning if it works on your skin tone. If it does, that is THE watch. You could easily make it your one and only as it is more upscale looking.

GMT for me. Prefer the colors to the green watch, and I don’t own a GMT. In truth, though, I would purchase neither, as they are too big for me.

How big are your wrists and whats in your collection. I feel that the new submariner bracelet is too wide for me so I have the 116 sub and a ever rose gmt

the root beer is a bit underwhelm when see it in person, so i choose the sub. but i would recommend you the SD43 or pepsi oyster, will bring variety to your current collection.

Cermit, but it mostly depends on your style.

What other watches do you already own? Just the BLNR and the Milgauss?

I personally lean toward the CHNR. I think it's really stunning in person and adds a little gold to the collection without going overboard.

Your wrist also seems on the smaller side, I think the Sub is going to be too bulky. Especially the clasp.

Both r my fave.
Coz its the only green from rolex and its on a sub. And its gorgeous.
Rootbeer. Coz its rosegold. 2 tone. One of the finest 2 tone combo out there.

Between those two, the sub.

However, if the full 18k CHNR, then a different story.

Root Beer is pure class. I love Subs, but the GMT is the clear winner for me.
