DavidSW still has not posted any more Batmans for sale. I guess he is carefully weighing the market. Will be interesting to see where the final price ends up.

The original batman has quickly cemented itself in rolex history because of first multicolored ceramic bezel, new color combo on GMT, steel GMT on oyster which they are fading out to jubilee except on PM. Collector’s item for sure and I plan on keeping mine irrespective of market value.

But that doesn’t change the fact that if you want something now you have no choice but to pay the going market price.

It all comes down to supply of new models. Only Rolex can control the value of the BLNR1. I am happy the BLNR2 came on a Jubilee. I think this will help protect value of the original.

I figured all the flippers and must haves would be selling the older BLNR for the new offering.

Today I’m offering my BLNR MK1 dial and clasp stamp version 1 for $50,000.
Don’t regret this offer in 6 weeks when the clasp stamp v1, (blnr version of flat 4) becomes highly sought after! ![]() ![]() |

On the one hand, they didn't discontinue BLNR, they UPGRADED it which is the worst case scenario for those who invested heavily into BLNR.
On the other hand, the upgrade is aptly named "Batgirl." ![]() |

They didn't upgrade it, they just updated it. But, agree nicknames are the worst regardless lol
