**Spoiler** it's 1 Evan sized

[@YoureTerrific]

Eh? It's 7 inches. Oh wait do you mean his right wrist? Yeah I'm intrigued too.

@@YoureTerrifichow big is your wrist again?

[@TrendyStone]

I have the same watch. Walked in, looked at a full case of various Rolex models, tried on several, picked out this one and walked out with it. Those were good times.

[@PranavRC]

For your note about the older Jubilee clasp, I've heard that you can switch the clasp with the newer Oyster to get micro-adjustment on the Jubilee. Also, I was planning on modding a two-tone Root Beer (once I got it) with an exhibition caseback and with the older 36mm Rose Gold Datejust jubilee, but the online negativity towards that sort of thing was making me second-guess. It's nice to hear that real Rolex owners aren't so averse to having fun with their watches.

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Genius

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

I love my BLNR, there’s something really special about it. Thank you for putting this video together man 👍🏼

[@kevinkohler2750]

The best-looking Rolex GMT, imo.

[@scotthiett1968]

Really like this watch. Of all 4 modern Rolex GMT’s this one makes the most sense: Black for evening hours, blue for daylight hours. Also, the blue 24hr hand blends into the background and is only there when you need it

[@prnuvsharma55]

Old guard in my collection. Purchased in 2015 for my 30th. 9 years, wow! Great video.

[@PranavRC]

2:01 Went to an AD yesterday to ask about any progress on a two-tone Root Beer allocation. When I told him that I'd put in my name a month ago, he chuckled and said it'd take a lot longer than that. I can only imagine how much longer getting a steel GMT would take.

[@ЛентяйЁпта]

Imagine degrading yourself like that in front of somebody who should be treating you like a king and not the other way around

Give the Fenix 8 solar a look. Let me know if it changes any of your watch priorities.

But the part about memories being associated with a timepiece. This is definitely great advice because every time you wear it, those memories will flood back in and make your day brighter.

[@robpreston634]

Did I get someone fired? Obviously it was worth it! Classic

[@BonnerRepublik]

I have the newer one on the jubilee and love it. I would say it‘s my most comfortable watch - and really accurate. I wore it for a full week recently and at the end of the seven days it had gained 2 seconds. I call it my „murder-y watch“ and I tend to wear it more in the winter so it‘s covered by my jacket sleeve when I‘m out in public. But I‘ve spent all my money on watches so I live in a terrible neighborhood.

[@ryangochuico]

I'm currently at month 11 on the wait for the batman gmt. Signed up for it in January 2024 at 2 rolex ADs. Time will tell how long it will take or if i will ever get the call. I dont have spend history with them after all

[@joonkt3483]

Do update here once you got it. If ever..... Am in a same scenario as you and I doubt I'll even get it since getting a SD43 is also not materialized for 6 yrs till today

[@kevnotrite]

Probably the only time I would pick one of these up is if it's by chance. I've moved on to different brands because time is too short to wait on some wait list when I need to purchase other watches I don't want to get the one I might. I can that on my own well enough.

[@Mohika881]

I like the Jubilee on the Explorer! I never even thought that could work!

[@DislikeFRIDAY]

got the same watch, bought it in 2015. sill runs like a champ after all those years. got it when i was 20 and now im 30

[@tka350]

Really appreciate your video and review. Saw that explorer I, is it a 36mm?

[@YoureTerrific]

It is. 114270 from 2004.

[@DiegooJohnsen]

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

[@Jannerjaunts]

That was weird. I watched your original Batman video last night 👍🏻

[@mracekproductions]

Yes to 24hrs on chapter ring. Very underrated usefulness! Great vid as always

[@tvo6453]

Back in 2015, during a layover in Seoul’s Incheon Airport, the Rolex Duty Free shop had a 116710BLNR available for sale, for just $8600, based on the exchange rate, at that time. I told the salesman I would pass, since I already owned a Sub and Datejust. To this day, that is still my biggest watch regret.

[@MADLITS1K]

huge oof

[@UnseenHero]

Did you know the Explorer 2 bracelet would fit the GMT? Or was it an after though?

[@autotrip5]

There are so few watches that have a rotating bezel and a 24hr inner chapter ring. The Seiko SSK and Grand Seiko GMT Sport are the only that come to mind. Really wish Rolex and others would consider doing this to make it easy to simultaneously track 3 time zones. I ended up making a Seiko GMT mod using NH34 movement and made one myself. Maybe some of the microbrands using Miyota 9075 will consider incorporating that feature.

[@BudiandLeo]

Cool Rolex GMT-Master II, but where's Batman in this video? I feel scammed.

Got a brand new GMT one on a jubilee bracelet. It is an eye-catching piece.

[@warren_wuffett8349]

It was sold on the oyster and not the jubilee initially, right? Sorry to call out an error. Huge fan.

[@Portland_Living_Life]

In the video he was referring to the second generation Batman that was initially only available on the Jubilee (Batgirl), but then later was offered on either bracelet. First generation was Oyster only, no Jubilee option from the factory.

[@philip1515]

What is the model number for the spring bar tweezers? I did a search and got a huge results

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Still a gorgeous watch! Love the Jubilee… ❤

[@CWJY68]

Awesome video! I wonder does the 114060 oyster bracelet fits the 116710 blnr? 🤔

[@YoureTerrific]

Yes, it does.

[@johnzhao5194]

I have a batgirl and I really really want to find an all brushed oyster bracelet for it.

[@johnzhao5194]

I wonder if explorer II's bracelet fits on 126710 just like it fits on 116710. Maybe I can find it somewhere.

[@JSLReview]

This review is perfect, I just put my name on the waiting list at the local AD for this. Your videos are great man!

I got the identical watch a month ago from my AD ❤

[@emmanuelrodriguez5044]

I got a batgirl last Thursday after a painful wait of almost 2 year and 3 days later I got a call for a Kermit from a different AD 😂 how crazy is that 😂

[@Lintybaybay]

Lol, you got your Batman within a month? I live in the UK, I have been on the waiting list since November 2018 and I’m still waiting… yes I have no purchase history (with this AD) and I’m not buying tudors I don’t like to get the Rolex I do like. I’m starting to think I’m never going to get the call 😔

[@Madeinlondon67]

You need to drive your AD crazy. I did the same as I also had no previous history with them. It took 3 and a half years

[@ryangochuico]

Damn that is a ridiculous amount of wait time. I am in the same boat as you- no purchase history. Currently waiting at 11 months and counting . I hope to God it won't get to 6 years+. I'd have lost interest by then😂

[@Lintybaybay]

@@Madeinlondon67 yeah, my AD is not the nicest experience. They know I’ve been on the list for 6 years, yet every time I go there (once every 6 months, followed by quarterly emails) I get the patronising discussion about buying history and “this is a very sought after piece Mr Linton!” I know, it’s been 6 years. I hate the experience, the greasing of palms, I’ve got 2 other watches and it was so much easier with those.

[@Lintybaybay]

@@ryangochuico where are you from? Please keep me updated on when you get the call? This is very interesting. I’m even on the waiting list for a GRNO (grey bezel Bruce Wayne 🙄) too now. Just to see if that comes in quicker as it may be less desirable than the BLNO. The struggle is real it seems

[@ryangochuico]

@@Lintybaybay philippines. Good luck for both of us haha

[@TheNimbleNomad]

I am friends with an AD, I have been categorically told that the minimum wait time / criteria for the watch is 5 years + 2 watches purchased.

[@garyboyle695]

And that is why Rolex are despised by many. It's a mass produced stainless steel watch for god's sake. Please don't embarrass yourself by saying it's an AD and not a Rolex problem. It is a Rolex problem as they authorised the AD's.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

@@garyboyle695exactly, that’s why I’ve got a Pagani “Batman” homage. But a white dial rubber deployment Seamaster Diver 300. Now that is a comfortable, understated timepiece.

[@wangyrn]

How come you don’t have a 124060 submariner in your collection like everyone else? 😂 anyway, nice collection. I got a 226570 polar explorer 2, 126710 Batman, and a 125060 submariner. I’m eyeing your explorer 36 mm and that’ll complete my Rolex collection. I don’t want a datejust.

[@BfoSHIZnats]

I can't BELIEVE you got a genuine hidden clasp Jubilee bracelet from the AD for $1400.

[@YoureTerrific]

Believe, baby

[@garyboyle695]

I can't believe you think $1400 for a stainless steel bracelet is a bargain.

[@Portland_Living_Life]

@@garyboyle695 it's not the price that's unbelievable, it's a the availability that can't be believed. AD's absolutely will NOT sell you a bracelet for a watch that you don't own. Heck, I own the BLNR and they won't even sell me a Jubilee for it! So, just getting that bracelet is the "bargain". Still, yes, the prices of Rolex bracelets are indeed ridiculous.

[@Betheball1966]

Never liked the size of the font on the bezel. Too big. Much prefer the older gmt font size

Genuine question: when traveling, do you worry about being mugged for your watch? The GMTs are pretty easy to identify at a distance.

I'm in awe of Garmin's latest athletic watch. Mind blowing. Laptop and smartphone on your wrist. From the minute I saw that watch, I completely lost interest in all these silly old mechanical and automatic watches. For 99% of these old watch brands, the value proposition is so bad. Paying 10k for a stainless steel automatic diver... lmao. You could actually buy full set of scuba gear (including a dive computer) and charter a dive vacation in the Caribbean for 10k.

[@mn1801]

Someone somewhere would say why Garmin instead buy $40 Casio. People value different things.

[@CosmicPipe]

@@mn1801 True, sums of money are relative. For most of us, a Casio represents good value. You could maybe take yourself to see a movie about scuba for the same price. Ultimately, the value of a luxury watch is highly subjective and depends on whether you see it as an investment, a status symbol, or a source of personal enjoyment. Regardless of those arbitrary points of view, the buying power inherent in the sum of the MSRP, represents alternative purchases that are interesting, and sometimes startling, when considered.
