Batgirl
I believe the reason most people call the new BLNR ‘batgirl” is because they don’t have one, yet. The watch itself mechanically is superior to the previous model. Essentially this is play ground name calling. Full disclosure I do own one and I do enjoy it quite well along with many others. Simply stating my opinion.

My understanding: Batman - original version on oyster. Batgirl - updated version on jubilee. Not sure the point of the post? |

I think it’s more so that the Jubilee is less masculine looking than the oyster.

Why do you think calling it “Batgirl” is negative?

I thought it was more of a way to differentiate it from the older model on an oyster bracelet. I don't think most people consider it a negative thing at this point.

I don’t get that. So many iconic watches from Rolex over the years have been on Jubilee. The submariner is pretty much the only watch throughout its history that’s only been on oyster band.

They don’t. In fact on many Watch forums and Rolex FB pages dealers selling them refer to them as Batgirl. Personally I think it’s cool, Batgirl is pretty Hot!
