I don't know what to do. I am so torn between the Batman which is so cool looking and or a Presidential 18078, 18038.

Damn what to do. I have my fingers on the triggers but don't know which one to fire.

Phrank · 10 February 2018, 10:34 AM

I'd go President in a heartbeat - gorgeous watch IMO....

peterpl · 10 February 2018, 10:40 AM

Very different watches. If it was me I'd go presidential each and every time but a DD40

I think you are trying to keep the price around the same range by looking at the references your suggesting? DD40 would be almost triple the cost of the Batman though.

BigBlue1 · 10 February 2018, 10:42 AM

Even with a manual job. My job is very I guess Labor intensive and I want to be able to wear it.
I do love me the Presidents. LOL

kilyung · 10 February 2018, 10:42 AM

Gold for the win

brent95m3 · 10 February 2018, 10:49 AM

I'd take the Batman for my lifestyle. Depends on the rest of your collection though.

BigBlue1 · 10 February 2018, 10:51 AM

My first Rolex!

elcompa · 10 February 2018, 10:52 AM

I have them both and love them both. I'm not sure I will be very helpful.......

GradyPhilpott · 10 February 2018, 10:58 AM

If I were to buy a Rolex for a labor intensive job, which I've done a lot of in my day, I'd choose a stainless model such as either Explorer or either the Sub or the Sub Date.

I don't pamper my watches, but I do believe that some watches are better suited to some tasks than others.

You can always pick up another Rolex later.

Of the two you mentioned, I'd go with the BLNR.

That's my personal opinion.

No contest when it comes to President

wach16 · 10 February 2018, 11:28 AM

Day-Date for sure!

BigBlue1 · 10 February 2018, 11:38 AM

Yea, I have my kids trying to way in as well and they are not very much help. I have always wanted a President and it was the first Rolex I ever wanted, but then came the Batman. I will be sure to share with all of you whatever it is I get.

Rolex6022 · 10 February 2018, 11:41 AM

Definitely the president! Only second to the new WG pepsi GMT.

Sdiver35 · 10 February 2018, 11:43 AM

I couldn't pull the trigger on the batman and went with a two-tone GMT instead. As others have said those are two totally different watches. My concern would be if the supply catches up with demand there will be a value hit. That is just my opinion though.

I don't understand. Could you elaborte more.

rad87gn · 10 February 2018, 12:20 PM

Pres!

AK797 · 10 February 2018, 12:25 PM

President over Batman surely.

DoctorA · 10 February 2018, 01:33 PM

Two completely different watches for totally different occasions. I am not a fan of yellow gold and I love my Batman

Maiden · 10 February 2018, 01:36 PM

Get a stainless them a pm watch unless the pm is hard to find.

meganfox17 · 10 February 2018, 02:15 PM

BigBlue is your profile name? Did you know there are at least 5 watchmaker brands that use the word BigBlue in their reference model ?
The Reigning Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Watch of Biblical Proportions is of course the Presidential DD

GIA516 · 10 February 2018, 02:25 PM

Prezzy all the way . Batman is hot now , until the next thing comes out . The DD will always be the DD .

Raza_actual · 10 February 2018, 03:13 PM

BLNR for sure. A yellow gold Day-Date seems like the kind of thing you wear when Sonny Crockett is chasing you down in a cigarette boat.

atm08 · 10 February 2018, 03:16 PM

Batman!

123joule · 10 February 2018, 03:18 PM

Day Date for sure
