Just got my BLNR aka BATMAN!!
So today i got a message from our local rolex dealer that my Batman is ready to be picked up, a waiting period of about 1 month and 3 weeks. So excited, and went straight to the dealer. Heres a couple of pics.

I have the same watch and (looking at the first photo of it), I also had the same issue - look how uneven is the blue paint application on the GMT hand...its bleeding along the tip. I took mine after 3 days of wear (and 24 hr after looking at it with a magnifier) and had the hand replaced with something that is only slightly better. The service centre technician showed me 6 hands I could choose from and they all were not to my standard but in the end I had to settle for something while better than the original is still far from perfection. I never expected that from Rolex (the Batman is my one and only) but it doesnt come near AP/VC and not to mention PP in terms of hands finish and dial printing..hell even Blancpain is in a different league. Well it is what it is I guess...

I don’t see the types of things you see.

And I’m grateful.

OP, congrats. It’s a beauty. I love mine.

I wish I could unsee what I see and see it like you see it - but I saw what I saw and there was no way back;)

The GMT hand on mine is perfect. Guess you didnt notice the crown on the inner case not aligned with the 12 marker yet though:)

Perfectuon is hard sometimes!
