Icon20 Cant believe this happened!

Hi everyone! So excited to join this forum and be surrounded by people who share my passion for horology.

Can't believe my luck but I just aquired two beautiful new watches this past week from my AD. 126710BLNR Batgirl and a 216570 Explorer 11 black dial!

Thank you. Batman** I've been hearing the term thrown around online, through videos etc that this is the new name given based on the jubilee I'm assuming?

It is a derogatory term used by those who are upset that they can't get the "manly" Oyster bracelet any more.

Thank you for clarifying. I actually love the jubilee and it looks great on this watch. Photos really do not do it justice. It hides your smudge marks unlike the oyster that is very visible on the high polish.
