NWA: Holy smokes Batman

Nice trade! I have neither but want both in my collection! 😂

You will have them one day. Btw, I love you GS snowflake. Been wanting to get one for more than 3 years.

Thank you and same to you sir! You’ll have one at some point!

I was playing pickleball last night and I thought a guy was wearing a Batman, turned out to be a Batgirl. Never knew the difference until last night. I don't like jubilee bracelets and I don't think I'd ever wear a Batgirl.

You know a lot of people are turned off by the Batgirl and still prefer the older Batman reference.

Wow! You traded in the Rolex 5 digit slim tapered case design for the Batman! The Batman is a sharp, handsome and more functional watch. I have both, saved and bought the Batman when it first came out. I couldn't let go of the vintage Subby. More power to you brother 🤙🏽

Stay Thirsty My Man 🍻👊🏽

Looks fantastic man 💯

Wise choice! Great GMT 👏

Can't get Batman, without the Joker! lol 🤣 Now you need to get this watch...

It was a difficult choice no doubt and I absolutely wouldn't have let the vintage go if it was not for the service dial. Rollie did vintage very well.

Thank you sir!

Many thanks

Congrats!🔥

It’s nice to see a GMT bezel in use. I think I’ve decided that if i ever get a Rolex GMT, I’d get the Flanders (black/green & lefty) on Jubilee. It might be nice to have the real version of my pagani design.

Many thanks 😊

That's interesting.....always something to learn every day

Well played my friend…well played…🍺

Cheers mate

I did the same thing. Had to add money to get what I have now but definitely worth it.

Had a James Cameron, traded for a chocolate dial two tone DJ then traded that plus money for my Pepsi. Got there eventually.....

Great looking watch, I’ve been seeing it all over the internet

Congratulations! That's beautiful ❤️

Thank you 😊

Nope! And the best thing in the world to lack that quick set feature.

SOOO much better to have bi-directional setting of the time with a jumping GMR hour.

I gave had other GMT, but quick set it do much worse.

Note: I travel to Europe and Asia, based in the United States. So setting my time frequently

Can I ask why u went grey? Do you have no purchase record too and gave up waiting? Cause I am thinking of a gmt too

Thanks 👍

That's why it's called a true GMT Vs. A collar / office GMT.

Hi mate,

Reasons I went the dealer route:

1. I refuse to play Rolex's games with their boutiques, ADs and the so called waiting list BS.

2. It's my money and I don't see why I have to "grovel" to gain the utility of my purchase.

3. Rolex's so called "demand" is also faux and is mostly generated by these ADs holding back inventory.

4. The price delta between the dealer and retail has been reducing and is a more palatable point.

5. According to the dealer that I bought this from, there is little action from actual buyers buying Rollies. Most of the traders / dealers are selling amongst themselves to ensure they don't start building on inventory which they can't move quickly.

I've been in technical sales at various positions for almost 20 years and I have never seen a brand lose their goodwill like Rolex is. They may have the lion's share of the global market for watches but they'd be well to heed the example of a brand called Nokia who once ruled the cellular world.

Customers make a brand

Not waiting lists.

I never agreed with the “caller/flyer” nomencalture.

Setting the date is a critical thing when traveling over the date line. With jump hour it is intuitative. Quickset date is just a nuisance if jump hour GMT is present.

Many people travel for pleasure (who really cares the time elsewhere?). Others travel often, but within a few time zones (Easy to add or subtract a few hours). But if you are 8 to 16 hours off and collaborating with others, it is easy to make a mistake.

My pet peeve is people who think they can “do they math” in their head, and miss scheduled meetings or agree to times they cannot support. Happens all the time

Nobody needs that watch. Maybe if you were 12...

The nose tho 😭
