Get both. I did and couldn't be happier. Will be getting a BLRO and if a coke is released also the Coke. I am also on list for Daytona C white dial, sky dweller SS blue dial. So patience is key. I pay retail always... enjoy the ride.

I prefer the Batgirl. Mainly I just like blue more than green.

It’s generally people that don’t know any better (noobs) and trolls that use the name.

I don’t genuinely agree with the nickname “Batgirl” in fact it kind of turns me off the watch but I also tend to just go with the flow and this is the name people have chosen for it... anyone else call it anything else?

It's the same watch that it was last year, a BLNR, and the same watch that it will be next year, and the next..

Oddly enough, the Pepsi is still the Pepsi, even with all the same changes.

I do think I remember reading somewhere else that you're sure the Batgirl nickname was born from a conspiracy among people who are mad that they only had the "old" oyster Batman, in order to start an online movement to denigrate a new watch they maybe cant get their hands on. Now that I think of it, Yes. Yes that absolutely sounds more plausible than maybe it's just a catchy nickname with a near universally recognized cultural reference.

And this is why the grownups in the room are now squashing the new BLNR nickname.

I kind of think the horse is out of the barn as a google search of "Rolex Batgirl" brings the Jubilee BLNR right up on several venues, including classifieds. I think that any attempt of "squashing" the nickname will be confined to these pages, with negligible results at this rate.

Google "Rolex Batman" and the BLNR on Jubilee bracelet pops right up as well... I am with the grownups on this one.

GMT complication is more useful to me so I’d pick the GMT over the Sub.

Don't worry about what others have, or how common the watch will be. If you're a frequent forum cruiser or instagram user, however, you might start to think that everyone and their mom has one. But in real life, you likely won't see a lot of hulks or batgirls out in the wild.

I like the batgirl so much that I've considered once or twice dumping my place in the pepsi lineup to pursue it instead. But the pepsi still has that tiny little bit extra of hold on me.
