Incoming. The Batman has landed

My buddy wanted to sell his Batman. I figured why not. Now to decide if I like it enough to replace my SD43 as my daily.

Looks good. Besides the bezel on the Batman, they look identical. Personally, I prefer the SD43. I’m not fond of the blue/black bezel on the Batman. I like the cleaner, classic, all black bezel.

The dials may look similar but these two wear so differently. The SD43 is quite a bit thicker and heavier. The lugs are also quite different if memory serves me right. My preference is with the BLNR FWIW.

Spectacular! Personally prefer the Batman as an everyday watch. But you have two beauties to choose from.

Thanks. I was heavy on the DJ Rolex watches but as you can tell have been focusing on sports watches now. Just need a skydweller blue/black then I guess have to look at PM models.

Sky D in your collection would be epic. PM would be the next step in the journey after that!

I need that. I like the black maybe even more then the blue. I have got the LN And SD43 from the gray market. I got the LV at an AD and the Batman from my buddy. I haven’t paid over $500 retail for any watch if you consider tax.

The Sky-D would be a lot over that amount. I’m patient. I’m hoping my new AD can come through for me on the black dial. Blue would be a bonus.

Thanks brother! Just think if the market wasn’t so crazy and I was able to buy all 4 watches at an AD I would definitely be a lot closer to the SKY-D. The SKY-D for me could be a one and done, but what’s the fun in that? Lol

Thank you all. I really enjoy it more then I thought I would. It’s odd but it seems to wear larger then my 116110 LN and I know they are the same size.
