Incoming stainless
Pleasantly surprised to get the call today. After registering my interest last December I now have my BLNR. I was offered the BLRO but frankly the pale red and lighter blue didn't sing to me. And Whilst I am here I want to dispense with the freaking "Bat Girl" tag.. I christening this the Space Ace.. After all He wore more black ,silver and blue than bat girl

Nice choice, the BLNR goes with everything and the blue metamorphoses into black at night which is cool.

Huge congratulations, an SS Incoming in Australia, a very rare thing indeed, especially after such a short wait time.

Don't worry about the nickname, although BatGirl seems to have stuck now. Just enjoy a great timepiece. Indeed I was at my AD last weekend and he stated that more people are now coming in asking for the BNLR than BLRO, this is the first time since the launch of the BLRO that he says that this has happened.

By the way it looks a perfect fit on you.

Thanks, it seems that some people don't like some harmless fun.

i agree with you regards nicknames.. hence my tongue in cheek attempt at humour, I figured that people (as some have already have) would refer to it by the horrid B** G** tag.. I don't refer to any of my watches with these names.

Its Batman, plain and simple. Jubilee is a bracelet, should that be called a charm bracelet? I would hate it if my watch was called batgirl so I totally understand some of the comments!

Whats next???

yes and on if that makes sense? My original contact left the AD I frequented and I went across town around November and met a nice young guy who piled my sales and service history together and here we are.

Beautiful watch and congrats!!!

And on the watch nick names gents. These are just stainless steel mass produced watches on a man's semi hairy wrist most of the time. No need to get all sideways on what a person calls these wrist watches, rather give the OP some love for his new piece and move on
