In their defense it is a different watch. You have to ask for the Batgirl bro.

A lot of us already collected a 116710 BLNR. One of the most popular references of the past six years. The SS pepsi is reintroduced last year. I guess that is why the demand is a lot higher for the 126710 BLRO then for the 126710 BLNR. Not to offend anyone I will refrain of using the nickname batgirl.

Never have & never will. Nicknames don't change just because people regret buying the old model or love their discontinued 1st run. Pepsi has been that way because of the bezel. Not Superman, not Wonder Woman. PEPSI! Batman deserves the same courtesy.

The BLNR is just currently hot, because it's new. Judging by the amount of people getting the BLNR and some of them even getting them from ADs at MSRP, I'd say more of BLNR is produced than BLRO, so likely when the hotness will die down, it'll be easier to get.

This nickname thing is getting out of hand, and it's getting more and more ridiculous.

That's what the ignorance of Rolex's story does. To nickname a Rolex female for wearing jubilee is to have no idea of anything, but that everyone does what they want, that I can also say what I want, and this Batgirl is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time.

I suppose we can blame ignorance. I tend to think it's just a less serious stance about watches in general. At least "ROLLY" has pretty much been kept at bay here.

My AD called it the Batgirl last time I was there. All of the popular YouTubers are calling it Batgirl.

Sorry guys, it's a Batgirl.

Picked up my 126710BLNR today and it took 5 weeks from the time I ask. The 126710BLRO took about 4 months.

Strange... Why wouldn't it continue to be the batman? The pepsi has gone through several generations and hasn't had a terrible secondary name forced upon it like "diet pepsi".

If it ain't broke... don't fix it.

I officially expressed interest in the new GMT blnr, whilst collecting a new piece at WOS in London today,,
I was told six months to a year, if not before ,,for the new blnr,,
I have prior history and warranty card will be kept for one year should I purchase,,,
I assume the same for a blro but not 100% on that,,

I think Batgirl makes a lot of sense.

As does Wonder Woman for the Pepsi on a Jubilee.

Really easy way to differentiate between the models.

Is there an "official" Batgirl owners thread on the forum yet?

Batman or Batgirl. Both names are equally terrible.
