Rolex settles it, for once and for all. Batman or Batgirl

For those of you that refer to the 126710blnr as the batgirl, just know that it’s actually referred to as the Batman by Rolex! Don’t believe me, go see for yourself. Go to the Rolex website and search Batman...the 126710blnr will pop up. Interestingly enough, the search “batgirl” returns nothing...I know the nickname may have caught on to poke at the new owners but Rolex seems to not be having any of it; can’t say I blame them.

Full disclosure, I don’t own a Batman or BLNR...just thought it was an interesting find.

Both are Batman. If anything it should be Batman and then Bruce Wayne

Agreed.

Batman = Oyster
Bruce Wayne in a tux = Jubilee

If they ever made a 36mm or smaller GMT-Master II BLNR that could be Bat Girl

Even though it's been finally cleared up I shall continue not to take seriously and refuse to help anyone who uses it.

I’ve heard a couple people call it “the bruiser”.

I kind of prefer that name instead of Batman/batgirl

It's kind of the Adam West Batman and the Christian Bale Batman. You decide which is which.
