😂 hungover AF 😎
Though this watch has been reviewed a hundred times, your reviews I watch because of the element of class and style you bring to all your videos.
The still shots with minimal people of the timepiece in the video went to my very soul! My wife and I visited there two years ago and wore this very model of watch (wedding gift from her). Lots of great memories. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for putting me on to Michael at strap a watch,what a gentleman.Ordered up one for my speedy and one for my type xxi.Can’t wait to pop them on👍
I had this watch and sold it 1K over my coast and have regretted it ever since. I am happy for you, this is the GMT to have.....
Ahh, Venice, one of my favorite cities. Sunday afternoons in the summer when the whole city is asleep, the beauty comes alive..
Ok perfect. I’m driving home. Rachmaninov and Rolex await my arrival
Like the watch Like the presentation And the music off course. Rahmaninof I think
Absolutely love the wine 🍷 chat at the beginning. I have passed WSET level 3 and I give you big props for the Ceretto. Fantastic producer! Wine, Watches and Women. Triple W. What every distinguished gentleman should be interested in.
Congrats man, thanks for sharing. Definitely prefer the Oyster over the Jubilee with black & blue👍
Congrats on your new watch. Love seeing Venice and hearing Rachmaninoff!!
" Super silky 🎶🎵as always 🎶🎵... Aarrh ! " Love the reflection on the sapphire of the boy running towards the watch .
Has to be the best lume shot video that I have seen by far.... And of course your videos are amazing to watch.... I have never been to Italy and I have never owned a new Rolex but if this is the closest that I ever get... I'm grateful! Thanks for your videos! They are inspiring in these crazy times.
Congrats, such a gorgeous piece. I need to get a GMT into my collection
bought this watch last week. 2018 with full set and absolutely love it. Was close on buying the pepsi, but I actually prefer the batman regardless of cost :D
I love your videos, each one feels like a piece of art.
Nice pick up. Congrats‼️ There’s a lot of similar looking watches in your collection though mate. 👍
final scenes ... incredible! loved it
Brilliant video as usual . I love your content and production. Coincidentally I acquired the same watch 3 weeks ago. I am very happy with it. Like you also , I was underwhelmed by the batgirl !
Wonderful content yet again. You are absolutely right......in the day the watch is bright, sporty and fun and yet in those superb low light settings the blue disappears and it changes into a classy evening piece. 2 watches in 1 makes it a bargain!
I watched it again. such a great experience that you share with us. The end shots were incredible. the kid running was the tops of course.
Black and blue on the bezel, a blue handed gmt and blue luminor by night. That's ultimately cool. I bought mine at 2013 when they were released after Basel world. With a small discount by an AD. Unbelievable, but true. I often wear it since then and like it till now.
I've never seen a reflected shot of someone running into a watch screen before - nice touch
Lovely watch, my only rolex. One I will never sell or get rid of. Enjoy yours. Got mine brand new from AD as wedding gift.
That was a great video , I like the batman looks a nice watch , it’s a great shame rolex don’t fit the glide lock on all its sports range .
Another fantastic video! Thank you for sharing this with us. Congratulations on the newest addition to your fantastic collection!
Congratulations - The BLNR is Rolex at it's very best! I collect Rolex watches and if I was ever in a situation where I could only keep one of them, it would definitely be the Batman. If you get the chance, try it on a black (with the thin blue stripe) Rubber B strap with the Rolex clasp. It looks more sporty and even more 'Batman' with this combo.
Agree the oyster bracelet is definitely the real Batman flavor. It also gives it a manly weight to the watch. I changed my jubilee to the brushed oyster bracelet. Great video 👊🏽
Rachmaninoff's rach 3 is my absolute favorite. Great video as always!
Yess! Coming out of lockdown, in Venice... with a Batman and bubbly.
Congrats! Beautiful watch, I'm on the wait list for one. Just curious, what's with the pixelation on the bezel?
Congrats. I have the original BLNR as well. Bought it to celebrate the birth of my son in 2016. I think it will go down as a true Rolex classic.

It will.
Brilliant watch. I prefer the jubilee Bracelet. I even put my sub on a jubilee. Your manner of presentation is relaxing and very informative with brilliant photography. Love the channel.
Great video. Thx. I have the 116710LN, and I love it. Quick side note, nice to see that you don't have any tattoos to take away from that masterpiece!
Loving that Speedy on the custom made strap 👌🤩
Wow! Superb watch - and a superb video! Thanks for putting it together for all of us to enjoy 😎
I just discovered your channel. Like you , I too am a proud Batman owner!!! Love how you present the watch in your film with all the still shots at the end - Elegance & Class! Like you rightly say , this watch should only be sitting on an Oyster bracelet............Jubilee / Shmoobilee - that does not sit right with Me! Enjoy taking your watch to all the scenic places that Italy has to offer..................
Magnificent production and music as always! Can I ask, will you sell your existing all black GMT or are you starting a “mini” GMT collection? If so, will the Rootbeer join it?
Pleased you finally did a review of this watch. Lucky to own one myself. Great video
Good shit. I remember sipping on some good mezcal when I opened or "unboxed" my gmt master.
Gorgeous timepiece & great video as always. Cheers!
Beautiful pick up Oisin! 116710BLNR is one of the best ever!
Another great vid! Your (and Lydia's) use of color while shooting reminds me of what we used to call "foreign color" that's why we always shot with Kodachrome 25 back in the day, the saturation and richness of Kodachrome versus Ektachrome. Then from the beginning with the Rach PC#2 one of my all-time favorites. That's a good version too from what we heard. I was always partial to the Cécile Licad performance with Claudio Abbado and the Chicago Symphony Orch. Sounds like slightly "stronger" hands on the version you used, who is that? On the watch side, I have the Batman, love it. Thought about the Batgirl, I do like the jubilee bracelet but, I thought I would just get a Pepsi and keep it at that. I have a Coke from 94, I think, it's in great shape. I like Coke better than Pepsi. Would have loved to see a ceramic Coke (was hoping 2020 alas we wait for 2021) I will add that it was interesting to see the paint inaccuracy on the 24 hour hand (mine too) someone in another video pointed it out about a year ago. I guess it's kind of unique to each one. Yea, that's what I will say. Makes each one unique. I think the comments about people being done with Rolex are always amusing, then they are going to get an Omega (I do love the Speedy, but which one?Geez) yours looks nice on that strap, and that Seamaster from one of your other vids has me looking at those. I will check that strap guy out. Of course, they will buy a Grand Seiko saying the quality is better, blah, blah, blah the Spingdrive is nice and maybe more accurate, but out of my watches on the winder if they are all set at the same time (almost never) especially the Rolex are spot on a week later or within a minute which I am never within a minute anyway. Or they will bring up the fact that all Rolex look the same and then say how they are going to get something original like a Royal Oak. LOL talk about looking the same? Well, I guess the goofy colors are kinda cool. I think the reason I always tell people that ask me "what watch should I buy?" I always say if you are buying 1, buy a Rolex. If you don't pay a super premium you will always be OK. So, if you want to sell it in the future or if the crap hits the fan and you have to sell it will be quick and you will probably get what you paid for it or close. Simple supply and demand. Anything else, it's a crap shoot. The problem I have with any watch with color. Kermit, Hulk, Batman, especially the Hulk I always feel "I" have to match it to something I am wearing. I have a few Yachmasters including the Slate Grey dial (I bought it for that dial and the blue second hand and writing) I always wear it with something blue, a shirt or usually tie. It's geeky I know but aren't we all kinda of geeky? In a super cool way of course. Cheers!
Fascinating once again! My caseback has similarities. Cheers to Batman!!
Love you watch taste. Congrats and thanks for the video!
Great vid as ever Oisin, I turned down one of these in Bridgetown a few years ago at retail as I wasn’t sure about the PCL’s, what a mistake that was 🤦🏻♂️ looks great and in lovely condition. Enjoy, I know you will and hope things are ok for you over there with everything that’s going on 👍🏼
Awesome content as alway, thanks for the unexpected treat. Do you think you’ll wear both GMT’s given that the only real difference is the colour of half the bezel and the GMT hand? I’ve got a CHNR and contemplating a BLR but worried they’re too alike.
Is the bracelet on the new 2021 Batman on oyster the same size as in the 20mm tapered to 16mm? And the case is super case??
Excellent buy! Congrats! Time for a state of the collection Video!!!!!!
Congratulations Oisin !!!...stunning watch ..enjoy
Nothing wrong with a bottle of Moët! I’ve got to say, the Speedy on your wrist and the Batman in the box are 2 of my favourite watches! I have a Speedy - Sapphire Sandwich on the black leather strap - my grail watch is the GMT Rootbeer but that Batman is stunning! Wear it in good health!
I am running out of adjectives to apply for your videos. Thus, I have to repeat what I said already: visually mesmerizing !!! For the main act, as well as for the background ! We are certainly not short of excellent Rach 2nd performances (Van Cliburn, Sultanov, Gavrilov, Andsnes...) but I would go with Kissin and LSO + Gergiev any time !
Thank you for sharing your unboxing. A fine watch. A nice choice of musical accompaniment as well. Best wishes, enjoy your purchase. 👍
A brilliant addition to the stable, well done sir!!
I just bought a Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue to use or complement my Rolex Explorer 214270 because I love the colour and I have been worried about bashing my Rolex in a door frame or somewhere.
It’s nice . Agree there’s also a certain romance owning the original iteration. I’m not huge on Rolex pro models as the lack of AR leading to the smokey dial annoys the hell out of me . If I was to add another this would be up there ..
Wonderful watch and video! Great choice! Cheers
Nice film and music, thank you sir
Good to see you back! Seems like ages. Cheers for the video
Awesome watch and video, looking forward recieving my new BLNR Jubilee. Enjoy your watches journey
Exceptional review that suits this unique timepiece.. Thank you!
Like those reflections shots...! Can’t wait for Watches in Movies
Fabulous Video and congrats on the new addition to your collection!! Love the Channel!
Masterfully Done! 👏🏻

pretty excited - the AD called 2 hours ago . he asked if I wanted the 126710BLNR ? heading to pick the 'BATMAN' up tomorrow. that was a great call . - good video TWC. .thanks. ~ JDS/CT
Congrats on the batman, thanks for sharing the unboxing.
As always, awesome video! I love the music, the scenery and how you tell it as a nice story. Rolex Batman is one of my grails... I am just waiting for it at my AD and I will continue to resist paying a premium on the gray market. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? Beautiful watch... stunning!
Epic intro!
Beautiful piece. Congrats
That's the one Oisin.... Hopefully one day. Wear it well and enjoy. 👊😥
Best watch channel out there. No doubt! Request, even though I am a Rolex fan boy, my eyes have recently been opened to Panerai. Any chance you might do some videoes on Panerai?
I am not a real big Rolex Batman fan but man o man it is really time for a collection review video. You have yourself a Stunning collection and i respect that. Cheers buddy
Beautiful watch - congratulations. I briefly contemplated swapping my 16610 LV for one but there's too much sentimental value to proceed. If I'm ever in the position to buy another Rolex it'll likely be a Batman. Top notch video as always - thank you :)
I think that strap would look amazing on a legend diver
Thanks for another beautiful video. I learn something about Rolex every time. Keep it up. Perhaps a video about the new releases on September 1.
I tried a mint example on in a local used watch shop and was underwhelmed, it’s a nice watch for sure, maybe for 9k I was expecting more & all the the hype didn’t live up to the watch for me. Ended up purchasing a Minty Omega 2254.50 at the same shop & time , the black one with sword hands “classic” loved it, and only £1500 lol. I think personally I’m more drawn to the black black, on black gmt Rolex that you have as well 👍.
Great video, full of envy sat here! Lovely views and even better looking watch. I agree with you the bracelet is much better looking than the jubilee.. although that is a matter of taste.
Beautiful. Congratulations on the new GMT. 👍🏼
Your KZread videos are outstanding it a pleasure to watch.
I just got a new Samsung S10+ and the first video I watch is yours . Beautiful as always , good timing. PS. Sorry I am wearing my Steinhart . Lol
Excellent video as usual my friend.. thanks!! Best Venice and Rolex shots!! 🙌🏻
Venice, Rachmaninoff and the Batman. Now that's class!
Oh my gosh Oisin, thank you so much! You Rock Brother! MK
Nice one, enjoy the new piece!
simply beautiful 💪🏼
Watching it again . Really refreshing. Thanks for theVideo. Cheers
Congrats on the beautiful Batman!
Nice pickup! Keep up the good videos!
That leather strap by Michael Knapp must look amazing on the Alpinist. Can't go wrong with Rach piano concerto No. 2.
Congrats 💪🏽
My theory.... got drunk..... barged into an AD.... grabbed a dealer... stole the watch, took his gloves.... hiding in the apartment...

Lmao 🤣 I was thinking the same. This cat has that low key shady voice
Love it. I wasn’t able to get a 116710, but got a 126710. I personally like the looks of the oyster better in pictures, but I do enjoy the jubilee quite well. I think it works, and my wife thinks I look great in it, so there’s that :-)
Awesome photography...
Dear sir ,congrats on the new Rolex ! For that speedy , you should try the 20mm with 16mm end buckle type of straps ,will look more elegant.
Cool video and Batman!! Speaking of custom straps... just wait until you pick up a Panerai and the strap-addiction really starts!! :)
Wonderfully produced introduction to your Batman....
Great watch congrats on the new purchase 👍 loving it keep up the great videos I can listen to you all day my friend God bless 🙏
Congratulations sir. Well done.
Maybe it was the video but the GMT hand is a bit hard to read? Or did the lighting and camera distorted that a wee bit?
