Rolex and Batman
Walking from the Apple Store to work this AM i saw the new Batman shoot. Also saw the new Rolex Wempe store going up on 53rd and 5th ave.

Does Bruce Wayne wear a Rolex?

Cool pics. They filmed some of it (Wayne Manor shots) near my house. Michael Caine had Fish and Chips in my local pub.

I'll just wait for AP to release a limited edition Batman ROO. Or did they do that already?

Not that I've seen.

Oh, it is interesting to note that in Ironman 2 when Tony's assistant (Scarlet Droolhanson) brings him his watch box it doesn't show the watch but he tells her to get him the Jaeger.

I miss Chicago being Gotham, and I miss looking down on LaSalle street and seeing them setting up for the scenes.

Seriously, though, after 2 movies where Chicago was obviously Gotham, are they moving venues?

If he wants a stealth Rolex, Airking is the way to go. It so stealthy I can't even picture the watch in my head.
