Which is harder to get from the AD: Sprite or Batgirl?
A friend is looking to pick up his first GMT (already has a sub). Of the 126720VTNR (Sprite) vs 126710 BLNR (Batman), which one is subjectively easier to get from the AD (both seem to be trading at very close levels on the grey now)?
Cognizant that this will vary from AD to AD and experiences but just looking to get subjective experiences from the good folks here |

How long is a piece of string? The only person who can answer that with certainty is the sales assistant at your friends AD. Every authorised dealer is different, and securing the watch you want often comes down to a mix of factors—your relationship with the store, your purchase history, and sometimes just a bit of luck.

Unless your friend is buying from the grey market, this question is moot in Australia. He is getting neither.

Really no way to tell. I'd call it a coin flip.

I would have said the BLNR, but there seems to be a dramatic rise in popularity for the VTNR, so I think it's a toss up.

I have a sprite girl and it was the first one offered to me. I have have never been offered a spriteman, Pepsiman, Pepsigirl, batman or batgirl. I did get offered a butterfinger and cap'n crunch before though.

Good luck getting either one in this market. Demand for most SS sports still dramatically exceed deliveries to ADs and the list are years long (unless you are able to connect with an AD and they actually want to sell you one.) Stepping into the sell zone is the key with ADs.

I don’t think there’s a dramatic rise in VTNR popularity. I just think the BRLO became much less available.
Since 2022 when it was introduced, it’s always been somewhat love-hate due to the 180 out-of-phase controls and window. I believe it always occupied the number three slot beneath BLNR and was a consolation. But that’s just me |
