Hello

Been watching this site for over 3 years, when I began the quest for a Batman to replace a Breitling of 10 years that had to go in for service and after 24 hours without a steel sports watch, I knew it was time to start looking for another addition. This site has educated me a lot about the watch world, so thanx again and hello to everyone.

Have you gotten the Batman yet?

What are your thoughts on AD vs Grey, Oyster vs Jubilee, and 12 series vs 11?

All issues worth considering while waiting…

I live in a city with a 1 AD, family owned. No history with them, went in over 3 years ago and asked for info and narrowed it down to Batman. They advised not available, and not taking names for the list. Told them I would like to stop in every month or 2, to stay updated on the state of Rolex, and always look at Breitlings as I have one and enjoy them. After about the third visit, I think they realized I was a local person and not a flipper, they advised I could go on the list but would be about 2-3 years. I thanked them, stayed in touch, did buy my wife a necklace for her birthday about a year into the wait, nothing crazy expensive. Very close to the 3 year mark I got the call and couldn’t be happier. Yes was a long wait, but I enjoyed it, was patient, and the suspense of she and if I would get the call was fun and stressful lol. I can now say i truly have a friendship now with the store, and sa. Once I figure out how to post pic as a newbie I will.

Yes I got the Batman, was told 3 year wait, and was literally 3 years to get.
Couldn’t be happier. Suspense of the wait was stressful but was also fun.
