Hits and Misses on The Rolex "Batman" BLNR

[tonygt3rs]

I went back and forth on whether to buy the BNLR. I have owned it now for a month and think it is fantastic. I was a bit concerned that it may look too big on my wrist compared to my 50th Anniversary Submariner and wasn't sure I would like the polished centre links but they have grown on me.

A remarkable piece and extremely happy with it. I won't stop wearing my 50th Anniversary Sub though!

I utilize the glidelock daily and find the size increment much more useful than the size jump on the easy link.

Well, that "perfect fit" does not come with zero cost. And for most people that kind of perfect fit is unnecessary while easy link can fulfill.

Cool, thanks for the education. I had just guessed they'd put the two-color process for the ceramic on a PM model first, and bring it down to SS later (just seems like a thing Rolex would do ).

I'm just glad they didn't do the bright blue from the blnr on the blro, along with a correlating red (looking more like the later gmtii aluminum inserts) -- I'd have purchased that instead of the safer-on-the-wallet LN.
