Side by Side BLNR - 18/19
Is there a link or review in detail yet?
I'm a happy Gen. 1 owner and not sure I like Batman's "diet". It may be awhile before any of us see one in person. Thanks in advance. |

I am guessing the "diet" refers to the "redesigned" case with "slimmer" lugs.
Here is the link to the Hodinkee article with real photos. |

Nice watch but I still prefer it with the oyster bracelet. Not having the newer movement is something I don’t care about at all. I’m content with my older one.

They are out there. Not a short run for the BLNR oyster. This is temporary. Even Ben Bridge had them in the case for several years

The Jubilee does dress it up a bit however for day to day use I think the oyster bracelet works much better.

I don’t believe it either, hence my use of quotations around the questionable claims people have been making. Only listed these because I was speculating what OP meant by “diet”. |

It uses the same case as the 116710BLRO, which has tapered lugs. It’s been covered by the press a few times already.

I still prefer my original Batman. Not a fan of jubilee bracelet on sports watches. Happy I got mine for retail and since its my first Rolex. I will keep it forever.

not a fan of jubilee BLNR, but since Rolex thinks this is a good idea, so I make one. Not too bad.
