Finally the death of the "Batgirl".

That name always seemed a bit silly and, if the BLNR is going to be available on both bracelets, it makes no sense to keep on pushing it for bracelet option.

Or am I expecting too much?

I think you'll find people will use batgirl for the jubilee version, and batman for the oyster.

Shouldn’t the oyster on the Batman fit the Pepsi?

I put the bracelet from my 114060 on my Pepsi. It’s amazing.

The nicknames themselves are stupid.

It's always should've been been the oyster or jubilee bracelet.

Plus Rolex has embraced the names Batman, Pepsi, hulk all in search options. Time op to just get used to it.

100% agree
Just received a BLNR on Jubilee my AD referred to it as a Batman on Jubilee no mention of Batgirl.

The fact he said ‘Batman’ at all is more than enough to upset some of the very sensitive gentlemen on these boards.

Nicknames were tolerated up until “batgirl” was shot across the forum as a obvious slam to the new BLNR. This was very obvious of its intentions since no new nicknames were drafted up for the BLRO jubilee. Somehow “Pepsi” wasn’t confusing for both jubilee and oyster versions but “batman” was too confusing.

I agree, Batgirl is not a good name

Agree with the OP, ultimate flexibility purely for a bracelet option is the death of this stupid nickname
