Owners of the new blnr aka batman lets hear some reviews or comments about this new model. Any troubles getting one. And of course lets see some wrist shots.

Degas · 11 December 2013, 06:18 PM

Great all around watch, I love the black-blue combination and can say only good things about it.

I have published this picture before, but it reminds me of our summer vacation and anyway - you asked for it

Jason71 · 11 December 2013, 06:39 PM

Last I knew Batman was out fighting crime (when I was a kid reading comics), but I do own the new Rolex GMT II BLNR

Furbo · 11 December 2013, 08:06 PM

I like everything about my BLNR, the only thing that sucks is the batman nickname.

Baselman · 11 December 2013, 08:16 PM

Does this count it's blue n black ;)

I got one within 3 days of asking. Nice watch, I like it.

Great watch...of course I've always been partial to the whole GMT Iic line. The fit, looks, and functionality make it one of my favorites.

SixPak · 11 December 2013, 10:28 PM

I have one and love everything about it...looks, comfort, function. Didn't have a hard time snagging one from the AD although I was at the right place at the right time.

cokecoke · 12 December 2013, 12:19 AM

I'm very happy with mine.The only thing I don't like is the blue 24 hour hand,it's hard to see.

dennywags · 12 December 2013, 12:20 AM

You guys are killing me.

I want one so bad.

SixPak · 12 December 2013, 12:48 AM

Here's a fresh shot...

Aha! I was waiting to see if anyone else had the same observation as me.

I like it the way it is. Doesn't get in the way when I look for the local time. I see it well in the daylight and look for the arrowhead at night. It's there when I need it yet not as intrusive as the red. JMHO

gummy · 12 December 2013, 12:59 AM

No problems getting them now...

Love mine.

Swapped bracelet from my LV-C.

Really enjoy the brushed bracelet on SS watches.

That's why it's so great. The good legibility when you don't need it!

ronburgundy · 12 December 2013, 01:14 AM

I'm ok with the reference hand being a little hard to see, the triangle is easy to spot. All in all I'm very happy with it. I didn't have any trouble getting it at my AD, but they had just gotten it in that week.

I do agree under certain indoor or low light condition it's hard to see the 24hr hand.

ocabj · 12 December 2013, 01:41 AM

Had mine since October 31. The bracelet still feels 'stiff', especially compared to my OMEGA bracelets. I'm guessing it'll break-in sooner or later. Other than that, I have no complaints. The bezel is gorgeous.

swils8610 · 12 December 2013, 02:17 AM

I really like mine. My Sub and Explorer haven't gotten much wrist time some my BLNR purchase. They are around to be had. Check the for sale section here. DavidSW usually has one. Good luck. And the wrist shot...

Mine's just a plain BLNR (didn't get the Batman upgrade). Got it from SwissLuxury, and it's become my everyday watch.

scheneider · 12 December 2013, 02:33 AM

great watch, i think the only downside is that my explorer II feels heavier and more quality/expensive feel, when u compare those 2. must be the stainless steel

psv · 12 December 2013, 02:35 AM

The only thing holding them back is the consistency of the color of the red ceramic. Once they get that down, they'll release it.

Very versatile watch. Looks great dressed up or dressed down. The blue is very subtle but is stunning in the light. Definitely my favorite SS model.

This watch on a jubilee is utterly incredible.

Then Rolex would have to make completely new bezels. If they stay true to the older design, the blue was on top, on the BLNR the blue is on the bottom, so after specifically saying they chose blue to signify daylight hours and match the blue skies pilots fly in, they would have to back pedal their reasoning/marketing OR leave the blue on the bottom and go contrary to their history and heritage.
Don't see a Pepsi anywhere in sight anytime soon.

Phong and Chris...incredible pictures.
