GMT BLNR "Dark Knight"

Batgirl doesn't do the new BLNR justice.

Let's call it "Dark Knight".

The Rolex site recognises “Batman” and clearly only shows the new BLNR. It doesn’t recognise “Batgirl” but if more people keep calling it that then Rolex could catch on and then update their site...let’s hope not!

There is nothing wrong with batgirl, I don’t deem it as a derogatory. The jubilee is more feminine and dressy, not a bad thing, I think it looks incredible.

I don't understand why the nickname should change. Pepsi has been the nickname since the 50s regardless of bracelet. It's the color of the bezel that matters. So the Batman should always be the Batman.

Batgirl name should definitely stay, i mean even my wife wants this watch and she's only ever been a two tone Rolex girl. Rolex really made batman come out of the closet with the jubilee.

If they make it in ladies size, then batgirl. It does look better with an oyster bracelet in my opinion, I like the Pepsi with the jubilee. Just my .02.

If it can be searched on Rolex’s site and a BLNR shows up, then the verdict is in.

Like it or not

I think Batgirl has already stuck unfortunately. I've heard several major YouTubers calling it that which is really all it takes these days.
