Review: Rolex GMT II 126710BLNR – Batman Jubilee 2019

2022-07-18

This review is going to be on the overly anticipated but highly overrated Rolex GMT reference number 126710BLNR.
Baselworld 2019 obviously passed a long time ago and the watches werereleased. The Batman with the Jubilee bracelet was released, however, I think that maybe an introduction of the coca-cola might have been a better play.
Its obviously a nice watch, Im not gonna hate on it so if youre out there dreaming about this watch dream on! It is a beautiful watch, I just dont know if it was expertly necessary from Rolex to come out with the Jubilee bracelet on the Batman, which was already nice with an Oyster band. Now its like, put everything on a Jubilee band and everythings gonna be good.
One thing that concerns me about this watch, is the hype and the price. People are buying them, I dont really see the market moving as much,but do I want to pay $25,000 for a Jubilee Batman? Absolutely not!
The watch gets released and its pretty much the same play as the Pepsi-double retail, you cant get it, waiting lists and so on. The ADEs are
playing us, or is Rolex playing the ADEs? I dont know whats going on nowadays, its hard to tell you, but I feel like Pepsi was more
justifiable just because its a remake of a vintage piece. I dont say I hate it, Im not really sure if I like it for that price. At retail, I think it would make sense, $10,000 watch- no problem! $20,000 watch- Ill buy a gold piece for that or a steel AP. I just dont really see it
that much as a collector or such a solid piece.
Im going crazy over people calling me and asking to buy a Jubilee band for their Batman. Guys, Rolex is smarter than that, you think they would make something that you can interchange that easy? They dont. You got to go above and beyond to make that happen. So I feel like the Pepsi was a good play last year, but I feel like the Batman is gonna put a dampener on it. Were right now in the summer of 2019, and I still think that the Pepsi is going to overshadow the Batman in the Jubilee game, so as far as the actual bracelet is concerned I think they did a pretty good job.
Im not sure I would have liked the hidden clasp because after all it is a sports model, and you want the safety clasp.
Overall Rolex did a great job, it feels very sturdy and the clasp, for me at least, is ideal. Theres an opinion that resonates with me, that the Jubilee bracelet Rolex watches goes best with vintage watches.
