I love mine. The only thing I don't like is that people on this forum sometimes call it Batman.

Yeah, me too. I don't see how "Batman" ties in to it at all. I like "Bruiser", "Black and Blue" or simply "BLNR".

I absolutely adore mine! Blue and black are my favourite colours so maybe I'm biased by I find this combo absolutely beautiful! This is hands down my favourite SS Rolex watch.

Only flaw I have found is that I do find the blue GMT hand a bit challenging to see sometimes.

As for availability, I went to three different AD's before I found the BLNR and purchased the last one available. They said they received 3 over the weekend and all were sold by Monday. Hopefully you won't have any trouble!

here's mine getting down and dirty - except for a few grubby fingerprints it's a stellar performer. It's an absolute joy to wear. I dare say it is a bit more comfortable to wear than the sub C -maybe because it's lighter???...and the glidelock clasp on the sub is bigger and therefore bulkier.
I waited for more than a month for mine, but it was worth the wait

To make the long story short I have the RG Daytona on bracelet on my wish list.

I'm just hoping against hope Santa would deliver it in time for Christmas but I'd settle for the New Year....

No upgrade just different bezel color.

I thought so, I think the ceramic RG Daytona is the one for me. Will probably be next Xmas for me tho, lol.

After seeing all the references to it, I just assumed there must be some sort of Batman upgrade to the standard BLNR. ;)

I just bought mine for retail and the AD gave me a ROLEX magazine issue 1 which features the daytona for free. This was pretty cool~

I don't disagree, but anything brighter might be critized as too conspicuous. Nonetheless, even if the Second TZ hand were black, I'd take one in a heartbeat.

I absolutely love mine. It's my first Rolex and I got the last one here in Toronto at the AD I bought it from.

The day I took her home :)
