I would wait. The current one is everywhere. But for the same amount of money for the batman, i'd rather get the 2 tone gmtiic.

Wait. Back in 2007 when the SS ceramic GMT was introduced, people started getting them as early as August. I got mine in early October and they were cranking them out. If it's anything like back then you should have no problem.

I would wait, what's a few more months especially when you already have such a great collection of Rolex's already. The anticipation would make receiving it a really memorable experience.

Good luck, enjoy the journey

I would wait. I emailed my AD today and told him I wanted one as soon as they were available.

EDIT - all these references to "batman" are just silly, plus, batman is all black with no shiny bits, so, it doesn't even make sense.
Preach on brother! I too am not a fan of "Bruiser", "Batman", etc....... It just sounds as though the second the watch was announced everyone came up with cheese-ball nicknames for it. Now I cant just throw stones, as the first thing I thought off when I saw it was "Sprite" because of the blue and the long line of soda inspired insert nicknames. All-in-all though, its silly.....

stick to the standard ceramic GMT IIC. if u dun like it, you can always flip it for a BB. But hey, its just a half coloured bezel , with a blue 24 hour stick, and no green wordings on the GMT II dial. Not so much of a big deal unlike SubC LV vs Sub C LN

Preach brother......The defining characteristic of this watch is the addition of blue. I don't even see how that equals Batman.
I like midnight......but even more I like the GMTc Bi-color.
The batman.....
I'd really like to see the video of a grown adult male walking into an ad and asking for the new batman.

You must be young. Batman traditionally had lots of grey and blue in his suit.

What's the rush?

If you love it, order it.

If not, wait to see it in person.
