I don't like coloured bezels as a rule, but the rootbeer seems to transcend my preferences and look amazing even though as a general rule I don't like coloured bezels - so if I was offered one at retail I'd buy it because I'd wear it, but I don't like it enough to pay grey prices.

Hope that makes sense.

Fair enough… I just didn’t know why it would be considered a young man’s watch?

I've gotten both at retail over the past 18 months. The BLNR was purchased at the peak of the quarantine and I think that allowed me to get it after a 6 month wait. Not sure which I like better and what I would do if I could only keep one? Love them both. The BLNR is unique and there is nothing else like it out there.

Good luck!

Own them both and now only have the new BLNR. It’s a much more bright watch where the CHNR is very warm and has to fit your skin tone. CHNR is “earthy” looking with its brown and black colors. The new super jubilee bracelet is by far more comfortable, breaths better and flows water better when swimming. It’s also a lot more flashier reflecting light without showing hairline scratches. This factor alone puts it in its own league above any oyster bracelet.


IMHO: The new BLNR is a watch Rolex got right in every area without exception. The blue ceramic color is perfect, the design and case lines are perfect, the form and function factor is perfect. The watch can go anywhere from vacation to dress and look good from a suit to a swim trunk. It is the pinnacle of what a versatile Rolex should be.
I think it’s the best modern Rolex in the catalog, hence why I own it.

I vote BLNR first then go after the CHNR if you still want it. Nothing wrong with having both.

The blue/black is unique and clean. I am not biased as I have both. But I would chose the BLNR first.

As far as getting them at MSRP. Your chances with the CHNR are better than the BLNR. But it’s all about allocation and luck.

BLNR. I don’t like two tone, and brown isn’t for me.

[pedersenkl]

I originally wanted BLNR. Like the black and blue, with Jubilee to provide a different look and feel. While searching for BLNR, a friend and an AD introduced me to the CHNR. Fell in love with the warmth of the CHNR. A couple months later, I found one and purchased without regret. It is a nice watch!

BLNR if a one and only watch. CHNR for a collection (or both!).

[HippoPAPAmus]

Biased vote for the CHNR here. It’s a very special watch.

Answer depends 100% on what’s in the rest of your collection. If it’s an only watch, CHNR. With your Sub and Speedy, the all-SS bases are already covered. If you had some gold in your collection, then it would be more of a toss-up.

[hyperlight12]

BLNR all day long

[ndls]

I’ve got both. CHNR wins for me.

[eskiserkan]

Go for the CHNR with earthy tones, market is flooded with BLNR bu the way.

[leisen]

BLNR, but... with oyster bracelet.

[The Continental]

Batman is a bore.......CHNR for sure.

[noshake]

CHNR is a beautiful watch but doesn't work for my skin tone. Rolex eveyrose gold looks very pink comaperd to PP and AP. Definitely try on if you can before buying. I chose the BLNR.

Since I had both and unloaded them at the same time, I have to say neither. If I was going to get back into a BLNR (which I have no intention to) It’d be the previous oyster variant. As for the CHNR, I admittedly bought it due to the hype surrounding that piece, only to discover its just another TT with the negative of it being RG.

Hope you've been doing well!

Btw - just follow you on IG. You have to give me some tips on your photography skills. Amazing watch photos!
