Buying a Rolex GMT Master 2, Ref 126710BLNR, 'Batgirl' straight from the Rolex Authorised Dealer
Комедия
Hi everyone, I hope you are keeping well!
I cannot believe that it is only 7 short weeks ago I collected my Datejust 41mm ( 126334 ) from the Rolex Authorised Dealer and they have already called to offer me my dream Rolex.
That's right! In this video I bring you along with me to collect my Brand New Rolex GMT Master 2, Reference 126710BLNR, The Batgirl! My Grail watch!
The Rolex GMT Master 2 on the jubilee bracelet (Batgirl) has been my dream Rolex watch to purchase for a number of years! I first registered for the watch with my Local Rolex Authorised Dealer in August 2020. I truly never thought the day would ever come that they would offer me this watch to buy.
After the success of my first Rolex collection video I decided to bring you along with me to collect the watch.
The watch collecting community on KZread has been an excellent source of entertainment for me while being stuck indoors due to the pandemic. I hope this video brings someone out there some entertainment and advice as many other videos on youtube have done for me.
Many Thanks for watching, subscribe and comment for more content.

Thannks for the vid! Curious how much other stuff you bought from the AD leading up to getting the DJ and the GMT? Cheers!
This is surreal, completely different to the experience I had when I bought my steel Submariner, I decided I needed to get a nice watch, and since I'm big James Bond fan, I decided on a Submariner. I used to work in Birmingham city centre, so on a whim, I walked over to Warches of Switzerland after work, and saw that they had a steel no-date Sub in the window. I walked in, asked to look at it, and then walked out with it on my wrist about ten minures later. The only reason it took so long was because they had a bit of trouble getting the screw out of the bracelet to size it to my wrist. The whole process from vaguely deciding I wanted a nice watch to owning a Submariner was less than 24 hours. Admittedly, this was nearly 20 years ago now, but I cant believe how different it is today. The fact that you have to put your name down on a years-long waiting list, and buy other watches you don't necessarily want just to gain favor with the dealer is bizarre

Ive been very lucky! you should see my lastest collection video! even crazier
Hi Adam, had my first experience in my local AD a goldsmiths, first ever time i walked in, no purchase history, I was offered a seat, allowed to try on the sub Date black bezel, and the yachtmaster 40 rhodium.. ( Exhibition models ) I was honest open it was a milestone no special occasion.. I was offered champaign given a lovely new rolex book it was amazing vibes no negativity just open and honest.. when leaving he said hopefully things will be good by christmas 2021 for the Yachtmaster 40 rhodium as my first watch.. but nohing said in cement.. From this i gather high hopes!! what do you think? Ive been turned away from other Ads with absolute no joy but this one was completely different... thanks for your videos! subscribed!

Congrats! I like the Bruce Wayne moniker instead of the Batgirl moniker. For me, it works better because it is a dresser watch that fits it's on wrist presence. Batgirl for a men's watch, for me, does not work. Enjoy and I hope the moniker Bruce Wayne catches on. Thoughts?

Hey Adam, just had my phone call from the York store regarding the Datejust too - wahoo! Out of curiosity, how did you approach registering for multiple watches with them, without it coming across as though you’re just going for the sought after models? I’d love a GMT too but was conscious of it looking as though I was only buying the Datejust as a stepping stone for the big boys! Would be great to hear what you did. Thanks
@Experienceitwithadam

I registered for the GMT first, then a few month later registered for the DJ. Got the call for the DJ then the GMT. I don’t think it’s cheeky to register for a few of your desired models. Also buying your DJ shows your aren’t time wasting! I hope this help! They are fantastic there and really made my collection special

Can all the Rolex geeks out there please stop calling a 40mm watch that was clearly made for men, the “Batgirl”???? If the goal is to simply distinguish the jubilee from the oyster bracelet then call it the “Bruce Wayne” or something since the jubilee bracelet is more flashy. Simple.
