Which is easier to get, Pepsi or Batgirl?

Given the Pepsi's popularity and the Batgirl's lukewarm reception, could it be easier to get the latter? I realize the Batgirl just came out. But even then, I've seen quite a few posts about people turning down the Batgirl and holding out for a different watch (Pepsi, Daytona, etc.) What do you all think?

I think Batgirl easier to get. The Pepsi has been out longer so the wait list accumulated with time. But either way, Pepsi has a higher demand no doubt.

Idk, but your theory is reasonable. Quite frankly, I’d get either if my AD gave me the call, but I’d prefer the Pepsi just based on eye fatigue because the Batman/Batgirl has been out substantially longer.

The batgirl seems the easier watch to obtain at the moment. My AD has had quite a few in already whereas they have only had a few pepsis in a much longer time frame

I’m going to guess it’s a Batman with the Jubilee bracelet?

The 126710 BLNR arrived in our area much sooner than the BLRO.

Yes. Sorry for using "Batgirl", I thought the nickname was widely used.

Only by a few haters who seem to think that their manliness is being attacked without a macho Oyster bracelet.

Calling it a Batgirl is going to collapse this price... maybe we've found the secret to slowing the market down at last.

Just to be clear, I like the BLNR/Batgirl/whatever people choose to call it. That’s not what this thread is about.

I’d say batgirl is a bit easier to get but still hard.

You might be on to something there. Perhaps we should rename the Pepsi to Wonder Woman?

To answer the original question. They are equally easy to get and readily available in large quantities ... via the grey market.

Thank you for staying on topic. I’d like to again reiterate that I like the watch and didn’t realize “Batgirl” was derogatory. Honest mistake people.

One of my local ADs told me that the BLNR is available in larger numbers than the BLRO.

I expect the wait to be equally long for the BLNR (please, not Batgirl) and the BLRO GMTs. I'm on the list for both. I have enough watches with the oyster bracelet and look forward to the great looking jubilee. The BLRO wait lists are long, so many folks put their name on the BLNR too. The secondary market prices probably tell the story. Whoever thought it would be this hard to get a GMT! Cheers!

it makes no sense though. Nicknames are supposed to be endearing this is clearly the opposite.

Hulk, Batman, Smurf, Pepsi, Coke..... batgirl.

At least batman and the bruce wayne makes sense... one is dressier and its the same watch. like an alter ego
