I've revisited this thread for the amazing batgirl pictures - but they seem to have disappeared. Any idea why this would be?

I did the same thing. A few years back I sold my BLNR. Then I repurchased it again because I missed it.

You are not wrong. Popularity went up the last 6 months with the BLNR and all ss GMT in general. Our trusted sellers are selling BLNR/Jubilee as fast as they come in at the $19k+ range so even prices reflect the uptick. I think some speculate the BLNR might get discontinued this year which is a factor. If that happens then prices will surely make current prices seem like a good buy similar to the Hulk.
What is interesting is the 12 Series BLNR has also pulled up the older 11 series BLNR/oyster model in their street price. You use to get an older 11 series BLNR at a good price but those days are gone. Older clean preowned are in the $15k+ mark now.

Excellent - always like the full "open box" posts, only way to fly - and love the GMT - looks great!

Congratulations!

Great post and thread Mystro. I could honestly see myself re-purchasing a BLNR at some point in the future and seeing all your photos is certainly encouraging such thoughts!

I had an oyster bracelet BLNR first time around (only option at the time) and would 100% go for a jubilee version if I were to reintroducing the watch. I think the watch wears smaller somehow on the jubilee and it was the boxy case shape (and needing some funds) that led me to trade my BLNR (and a SubC) for an SD4K back in 2018.

All the points you’ve raised are just spot on, please keep posting and best wishes to your daughter too.

Excellent pics and post. I am expected to get the VTNR this summer on jubilee and I’ve been wondering more and more if I wouldn’t rather the BLNR on jubilee. As a sub Starbucks owner I’m concerned the green will be redundant. Your pics are certainly making me consider the swap. Enjoy and congrats!

Did you move on from your Starbucks or still have it?

Damn it Mystro, I never really wanted this watch before but these pics are drool-worthy.

I’m getting worried the BLNR is going to be discontinued and I will miss out!

I think your excellent pictures and point of view have officially tipped the scales for me :). This will be the next watch I pursue. I have been very torn between the BLNR/BLRO/GRNR, but I think BLNR will suit my style and taste best. Cheers!
