Great review as always! Thanks for the mention! That rotor noise is so cringeworthy 🤣 In the AD I tried it on it felt perfect with no links taken out, soon as I went outside though it had too much movement for my liking, so I’ve had to wear it tighter than I’d like. Annoying but jubilees are still more comfy than oysters

Fantastic review, you really showed Rolex for what they really are. Overpriced for what you get. Alot better watches out there.

Honestly, I think it's more desired than desirable. Great watch, but not what it could/should be at that price point.

Great 👍 COLAB guys. I actually have both, while I prefer the look of the Batgirl with the Jubilee Bracelet, I actually prefer to wear my Batman with the Oyster Bracelet Jody/Anthony for some reason.

And the cyclops looks misaligned too 🤔

I think all Rolex sports models should be on brushed oysters, maybe even the Daytona. Having owned a 116710LN, it was the one feature I felt didn’t suit the watch. The jubilee is very comfortable but it doesn't go with the maxi case at all. If the crown guards were removed and the lugs more slender like its ancestor 6542, then the jubilee would work. It’s a batgirl, end of story. I’ve picked up a 126600 SD43, now that’s a perfect sports watch.

Fair review. Nice to see both perspectives. Cheers!

This is a fantastic watch to be sure and a great review as usual. I own the slightly older brother to this "Batperson", the 116710 (all black ceramic bezel). I think you missed the point though, when discussing bezel play as a detractor or area for improvement...this is not intended as a dive watch, and therefore, the wearer should be able to move and set the bezel quickly and easily. The bezel on the GMT is not a function of a "life or death" measurement as it would be on a dive watch, but rather a reference tool for the world traveler. In term of operation, I love the way mine seem to lift ever so slightly, then slide into the next position. In fact, I prefer the GMT bezel action to that of a 120 click diver...just feels nicer. Keep up the good work.

No thanx. I have no desire to own ANY gmt. I don't know anyone that far away. Just some friends on the east coast and I can add 1 hour to my time without another hand muddying up the dial. Besides, I'm happy with my seikos, vostoks and citizens.

The purpose of owning travel GMTs (jumping hour hand) is not the same as owning an office GMT (jumping GMT hand). The jumping hour hand is for people who travel alot, whether for pleasure or for work. Setting the hour hand without hacking the movement makes it so much easier when you're traveling between time zones.

Great video:). Can you review the hamilton pilot pioneer mechanical? Your thoughts are appreciated 👍

I just got mine this week and it's astonishing, gladly I just paid the list price!

I know its an old video, but here's hoping someone still reads the fresh comments; I just received my BLNR new from an AD this week and I really got lucky with mine; The bezel has absolutely zero play. Its quite a bit stiffer than I expected though, and sadly I have no other GMTs handy to test out the stiffness. The GMT hand is also painted much better than the one in the video, with the paint going all the way down to the arrowhead where it forms a nice symmetrical pile. The rotor, while not as horrific as the video, is still quite noisy.. ..but in my experience, the new 32XX movements all produce much more noise than the 31XX movements did; I had a chance to test that with a few different watches, and old movements can really have almost inaudible winding, but the new ones are always very audible and sometimes even louder than in the video.

Is the GMT hand on that Rolex clock behind you actually functional?

I don't know. It's a pretty watch and the movement is well adjusted, but the price seems completely crazy-nuts for a mass produced watch, especially given the evident level of QC being applied. A lot of otherwise rational men who would bargain cars, houses and any other major purchases to death will roll over on their belly and beg for a Rolex because it is hard to get. Rolex are the God Kings of marketing I'll give them that. Even if their ability to manufacture superlative watches is somewhat questionable per the review, they are the unquestioned masters at manufacturing scarcity and exclusivity.

I can understand this argument for most other Rolexes, but not the GMT-Master. How many other GMT watches are there out there that really competes with the GMT Master? Sized perfectly neutral at 40mm diameter and around 12mm thickness, rotating bezel for 3 timezones, and has a travel GMT versus an office GMT? For someone looking to tick all those boxes, Rolex's immediate competitors don't have anything to offer.

I find it truly annoying that Rolex doesn't use AR coatings. Aargh!

Might be a fake Jody, I think someone's playing tricks 😲😲😲

Nice review, expecting a BLNR within a few months from my AD. Enjoy your watches journey

Would love it if you would review a Grand Seiko some day:)

Magnificent. Best modern Rolex design and color combo. The blue and black colors on the BLNR are spot on perfect compared to its BLRO “Pepsi” twin that Rolex just can’t get right with purple and pink hues in the ceramic bezel????? Oh well as the Blue and Black looks sharper anyway. The new 3285 movement has all the modern upgrades even for the most picky movement snob. One of those major movement upgrades are ceramic rotor bearings and all ceramic rotor bearings are noisy but then again they are bullet proof and that is the trade off. Rolex also has a more efficient escarpment to go along with that 72 hour power reserve and upgraded shock absorbing system in the new “32 series” of movements.

Nice Rolex wall clock, may I know where I could get one like that?

The rolex crown at the 12 on the rehault is unaligned and sits slightly towards the1 as well.definitely far from perfect and not worth the price tag in my opinion

I have no noticeable rotor noise in mine. My only complaints about this is that it's hard to put it into the last position to adjust the minute hand, and I wish it had a micro-adjust. The easy-link system is nice, but a micro-adjust would be better. This is minor stuff, I love my Bruce Wayne.

Great video as always, but I buy an OMEGA before I ever buy a Rolex. May not be able to get an OMEGA with a black and blue bezzle but with OMEGA I don't have to get on a waiting list and over pay way too much for a fine quality Swiss watch.

Hi Jody, I was interested in this review because I collect modern and vintage Rolex among other brands and I must say I’ve never experienced these issues you show, I couldn’t help but question the authenticity of the watch, especially the lume and rotor rattle. I have 4,5 and 6 digit reference GMT’s, Submariner and Daytona’s, don’t have rotor noises in any of them and only the tritium lumed ones have obviously lost their lume, all the 6 digit references have strong lume all night 🤷🏼‍♂️ As for this Gmt in question, I have the Pepsi jubilee and it suffers none of the same issues, also the watch just doesn’t look good on camera, mine are all on KZread and they just look sharp and crisp. Anyway that’s my two cents from a seasoned collector. Cheers.

Gotta say if I had to pick a Rolex I’d go for the Batgirl, always preferred it to the Pepsi bezel.....my 15 year old daughter told me she likes the Pepsi version but prefers the omega planet ocean with the black and orange bezel. Safe to say she isn’t getting either of them for her birthday

It's between this or the Pepsi jubilee as my 1-watch-for-life-from-Rolex. I do think however that in my more distinguished years I may opt for a fluted Day Date 36 though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't understand the reasoning for the new steel type. More corrosion resistant, softer, but easier to polish out scratches. Corrosion is easiler to polish out than scratches, so I'd rather have the old steel anyway. Not to mention you'd be polishing the new steel more often anyway because it scratches more easily

Falling in love with a supermodel 😂 Subscribed to clock bait.

Nice lug bracelet match. No maxi case. Jubelee makes it classy.

The slow date set is a deal breaker for people who have a watch collection - and need to set the date every time they pick up a new watch to wear on a particular day. I’d rather have a quick set date and no quick set hour. Setting the hour only takes seconds - even with no quick hour set …. But setting the date from say 1st to 25th - will take forever on this

Another great review 👍Jodi

In a 13600$ watch the gmt hand has to be PERFECT. And, the endlinks don't look like they're designed for these lugs.

Crazy prices now adays.. The fact that these mass produced 6 digit new rolex models costs the same on the grey market or MORE than VINTAGE 4 digit Rolex CLASSICS like 1680, 5512, 1675, 1016 etc is just insane..
