Buy or Skip Batman

[TswaneNguni]

I think its brilliant at MRSP and atrocious at market/Grey price .In between may be a good price but it has to be closer to MRSP.

[The Kermit]

My advice is to make sure that you try it on and if it pulls at the heart strings buy it keep it enjoy it

[Solo118]

I think it is a buy. I am kind of leaning towards the BLNR these days over the BLRO as it is a bit under the radar.

Don't buy it would be my advise.

I get the point here, but by this logic, most of us should just logout, give up any hope of buying a SS Rolex and start buying whatever Tourneau has on the shelves.

Gotta pay to play, one way or another. Either you've paid the premium in other watches over the years at your AD, or you bite the bullet and pay the premium now. Either way you gotta pay!

But i just dont like that its a bit older and it needs polish.

If you are going to wear it then why bother on a polish? Rather polish it if you decide to sell one day.

Be weary of losing money, a lot of us on this forum are used to the old ways of buying and accepting a knock after walking out with it. Those were he days.

It sounds like you don’t have he disposable income for this purchase and need to know that you can get out unscathed. If that is the case you shouldn’t be doing this.

Buy what you love. However, the price has to be reasonable. $12K is a lot of money but it is still reasonable compared to what others are selling it for! Will I do it if I am in your shoes? As long as I can afford it, I have no issue buying it. The jubilee bracelet for the new Batman is for me like mismatch. I associate jubilee bracelet with DJ. That’s just me. I felt that Jubilee bracelet does not match with a diver’s watch! Rolex has reasons for doing what they did for the Batman but I don’t gravitate to it despite the thunder it created when it was first introduced. Good luck!

Wrist Shot while at Costco. :chuckles:

$13,494 in US dollars. So a tad bit more than $12K US. I've been sitting on a new/unworn BLNR since last October. Purchased it with the intent of wearing it but that never happened with the prices ever so increasing on the grey market. Same for my Sub Hulk, purchased both at the same time new/unworn, which I haven't worn either.

I thought I was nuts at the time paying $12,800 and $13,200 respectively. You can't even touch a lightly worn/used one for that now. Crazy!

Yeah it’s more than retail. OP said he likes it. Given current hype situation the price is ok. Just buy it.

I concur with this

Your first mistake was to call it by the same name as a comic book character.

I found a 2014 Batman full set for 12000Euros,do you think that it’s a good deal?
Thank you all!

Definitely no.

You can get full set for 10k US Dollars or less. You will see everything, people selling for 20k price, 15k, and so on. It just shows how speculative people are towards this model. It's a bubble and I would bang my head on the wall all day if I paid anything close to those prices.

Do your homework, there are sellers who are earth grounded and are willing to negotiate.

That's AD prices after tax. If someone outside of an AD was willing to sell it to you at that price, they must have been your childhood best friend or a family member.

Don’t. It’s a sweet watch. I passed on one at 9500 brand new back in 2017. I didn’t know it be worth 14-15k today. Maybe “over-hyped” or maybe it will be worth double in 10 years. No1 here knows.

It is worth what the market says it is worth and your price is on par with that. If you like it, that’s the cost. Make or lose money in future is unknown.

You like it and have the money, get it and enjoy it!

[Chaching]

No

[Johnnie Peh]

Buy what you can afford. Buy what you like. Hype or over priced, don't even think about it. Life is too short. We only live once, perhaps we only die once. Figure this out.

[brmeyers]

Personally I would do new Batman on Jubilee with 3285 movement if you can find a decent price.
I have had the SS Pepsi, and on list at AD for Batman for a changeup whenever it arrives.

Two things to think about,they are not making it anymore and there seems a general consensus that people prefer the oyster bracelet over the jubilee.
Buy it if you like as life is too short,you will love the watch as I do,one of my favourites in my collection.
Make sure the watch has the correct papers and documents at that price.
