Silly names aside, enjoy your new watch & congratulations of the purchase. It's a fantastic piece.


When I picked mine up at the AD, I actually said "I'm here for Batman". The guy beside me overheard and asked for a Batman also....obviously they didn't have anymore. I don't even think he knew what he was asking for. Lol.

Exactly. That's why there's no need for anyone to criticize him for calling his watch Batman or any other name he wants. That was my point. Not totally sure what yours is though.

Congrats, its a great watch! I was wearing mine today when visiting an AD I usually don't go to and the sales person said "nice black and blue". Batman or BLNR def sound better

Love the watch; hate that particular nickname but now I use it. Have 3 mostly grown kids and have seen every animated movie over the last 20yrs without complaint. But when it comes to these little blue creatures, I want to take a cudgel to them. I may be overreacting....

Just me then?

...better than finding a FEDEX parcel left behind the dumpster 'cos it was delivered while you were out anyhow!

Enjoy your new watch and the full AD experience
