To be honest I don’t appreciate any different colour on the bezel.

It's possible there's a subtle difference, like in the newer BLROs. However, I think it's more likely that all the Basel pics we're seeing are taken in a light box or in a room with aggressive convention lighting, and that just brings out the vibrancy of the blue. I haven't seen a pic yet that looked any different from my watch on a sunny day.

Putting all other well-known factors aside, when the new Batman will be released for sale?

How many months after the Baselworld we can see it on the flesh?

08vater · 22 March 2019, 06:22 AM

Jubilee Batman, like Pespi I thought, has a slightly slimmed down lug.

That is to say top to bottom thickness, not side to side when looking directly at the watch.

Any pics of BLNR and BLRO - stacked up?

sagla · 22 March 2019, 06:31 AM

I was thinking that BLNR looks slightly cooler than BLRO. But comparison both in jubilee, I think BLRO looks better! Strange!

Oyster for BLNR. Jubilee for BLRO.

MOOI · 22 March 2019, 06:44 AM

Looks cheap on jubilee

BLNRasDanko · 22 March 2019, 06:54 AM

Longer minute hand as well

In all seriousness though:

Jubilee bracelet
3285 movement
Crown on dial

Not really any upgrades imo unless you really care about power reserve. So no harm in getting the 116710BLNR imo if you prefer it

Instead of jubilee Rolex should have went to brushed oyster on BLNR for a resto/mod sort of feel!

They know which one looks better.

Btw, enjoy your trip OP. Must be great to be in hunduras at this time of year!

Thanks man, wearing my Hulk the whole trip 👍🏻

lecorsaire · 22 March 2019, 10:41 AM

Oyster looks best on both.

WoundUpInTheSouthUSA · 22 March 2019, 10:44 AM

I have the oyster bracelet on my sub date so am excited to try to get a BLNR on a jubilee

Frank McKay · 22 March 2019, 10:47 AM

There’s no correct answer here. Owners of old version will undoubtedly claim Oyster while few may prefer the new Jubilee. Looks are subjective, but what you love.

DownTime · 22 March 2019, 10:59 AM

I like it with the oyster, oyster makes it more sporty

Rogerk · 22 March 2019, 12:12 PM

Oyster bracelet or me personally.

MTdweller · 22 March 2019, 12:38 PM

I’m partial to the oyster. More sporty IMO.

vipereaper30 · 22 March 2019, 12:49 PM

If I read/hear "batman" one more time my head is gonna explode.

UnicoJG · 22 March 2019, 07:28 PM

BLNR does look better with Oyster bracelet.

Seaborn · 22 March 2019, 07:34 PM

The answer is oyster. But, I don’t hate the jubilee.

Any ideas as to why Rolex is pumping the jubilee bracelet?

Robbyman · 22 March 2019, 07:46 PM

I prefer the Batgirl.

Onikage · 22 March 2019, 07:51 PM

People who bought both BLNR and BLRO are laughing. They have the WG config AND Basel 19 BLNR, and vice versa. No one cares about the power reserve. Do they.

I’ve seen so few people saying they prefer it.

Personally I think oyster batman is better looking. Can’t believe I sold mine in 2016 for £5,500

What do you guys think?

My intention is to get the new Batman and swap the jubilee for an oyster. I find the jubilee better suited for the Pepsi.

Good point! lol

Krash · 23 March 2019, 08:00 AM

If people were ok with the Pepsi, then I don't get what the issue is with the BLNR on the Jubilee. At least it has man colors blue and black vs woman colors pink and purple.

Because they already have seen how cool the BLNR looks on the oyster.

Not a good answer. They also saw how Pepsi looked on an Oyster (albeit WG), but still an Oyster.
