For about 3 years I’ve lusted after the BLNR Batman, I even held it in my hands twice at 2 different ADs but had to pass as I was a broke student. Fast forward to this year with funds available and the watch is impossible to find. I walked into the AD 2 months ago and actually ended up seeing an explorer 1 for the first time, loving it and buying it on the spot. I stressed to the AD how badly I wanted a BLNR.

Fast forward to Basel world and imagine the horror when seeing the news that there will be no more oyster bracelet. I was devastated. Today while at work I get a call from the AD stating they got the watch!! I was in shock and ran over as soon as I was done. I honestly lost hope and never thought I would find this absolute gem. It’s even more glorious in person. I went from no rolexes to 2 in 2 months!

Edit: unfortunately post count is not high enough to post pics

Congrats on the fast growing collection!

Which/Where Ben Bridge was this? I buy from them too.

Congrats! I'm on the hunt for one myself and like you, I held it in my hand in ADs at least 5 different times from 2015 - 2017, most of those ADs offering discounts and tax free (in europe), which would have ended up being a ridiculous 20 - 25% below MSRP!! But not enough funds back then either so had to pass. Oh well, I guess that's the beauty of it; lusting after sth until you're finally able to get it.

Also, pictures of your BLNR or it never happened. you need to post more so we can see those pictures :D

Congrats on the pick-up. Your AD came through for you without you having to buy a gold or platinum piece from them

Congrats! Boost your post count because as you know, pics or it didn't happen.
