Rolex Batman GMT-Master II Watches (2)

Batman is what collectors call the blue and black bezel on a GMT-Master II. Rolex codes it BLNR and has never used the nickname itself. The current reference is the 126710BLNR in Oystersteel, supplied on both the Oyster and the Jubilee bracelet.

The bracelet. Both are the 126710BLNR with the same case, bezel and movement. The Batman wears the three-link Oyster bracelet. The Batgirl wears the five-link Jubilee. Collectors invented the second name in 2019 when Rolex launched the reference on the Jubilee first.

The Batman. Rolex introduced the blue and black bezel in 2013 on the 116710BLNR, supplied on the Oyster bracelet only, and it ran until 2019. The 126710BLNR replaced it that year on the Jubilee bracelet, which is when the Batgirl name appeared to separate the two.

Steel 126710BLNR examples sit in the high teens to low twenties, and Jubilee versions generally command more than Oyster ones. Earlier 116710BLNR examples are priced on their own terms as a discontinued reference. Condition, and whether the original box and papers are present, moves the number either way.

No. They are two different bezels on the same GMT-Master II case. The Batman is blue and black, coded BLNR. The Bruce Wayne is grey and black, coded GRNR. Collectors coined both nicknames, and the two get mixed up constantly in listings.
