Great choice Emkwan. Looks fantastic on you. I'd make the same trade in a heartbeat. Also, if I may say so, I'm very proud of you. You are obviously a hard worker and a great husband and father. Peace and blessings to you, Zein and Belah.
For those playing at home, recomended retail price (RRP) in Australia is AUD$10,850 (AED 29,860 | EUR 7,460 | GBP 6,277 | USD$8,129) Rolex GMT Master II BLNR 116710BLNR Oyster, 40mm, 904L steel. But should be able to get it cheaper than that by haggling (negotiating) and leverage (social media outreach and other factors)
Checks the time (8:55) on a phone screen as he walks to get his new analogue mechanical watch, AND he's already wearing a watch! It too looks like a Rolex! I love it.....
Actually Emkwan this Rolex BLNR was my first Rolex. I've had it for two years and I cannot stop looking at my wrist with this beautiful joy! Plus, I am thinking to get another Rolex but I cannot find a similar package as this magnificent GMT II delivers. Enjoy it!
Congrats on the new timepiece, it's beautiful! Great to see the knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm of all the TRF members! Curious to get your impressions after wearing it awhile - can the PCL's withstand daily desk diving?
Emkwan I honestly don't know much about you, however, you look like a decent hard-working, down-to-earth kind of Bloke. Enuff Respect to you Rudeboy!!! ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS!!!
Congrats! It seems the Batman suits you best. And I'm sure it's not your only watch. So you are still be able to rotate a bit. For myself I'm going to stick with my 114300 because It's still the best looking and most versatile Rolex IMHO! 😉
How is the 1st presentation coming out of the plastic box instead of the wooden box. Im worried abt it getting scratches and stuff. Is this a good service from rolex especially requested orders plus deposit. Hmmm
Thanks for posting this and congrats on the Batman. With that being said I completely understand, I've worked two jobs for a very long time and just recently purchased the Rolex GMT Root-Beer/Rose Gold of which we just posted a fun video with.a full review coming soon. On that note, congrats once again and keep up the great content!
I like the Batman of course and I bought it a few years ago. But for me it’s not a dressy watch. I wear it a lot but during the week end. I have over options with a suit during the week.
I suppose you made the right choice if you find that much more value in the one watch versus owning the other 2 or waiting to be able to own all three...
Nice watch, I waited five months for mine here in the U.K., had it for 2 years and sold it for more than I paid for it, have now bought the blue two tone sub. May get another GMT some day though. Although spending my cash on omegas too .Enjoy my friend.
Congrats on the new Batman! One if the best modern Rolex watches. I wear mine all the time; very easy to live with. Good call on going from two to one, I did something similar...sometimes less is more:)
Since i was 12 and i went to work after school, i put every month 200€ into my piggybank. Now i am 16 and i will buy me a watch. Should i buy a roli now or should i buy me an audemars piguet?
just put myself on the waiting list here in the UK, they saying I have to wait 4 years??!! any recommendations on where I can go to get one sooner please share
You seem to enjoy the experience of buying a great watch. Thanks for letting me tag along. I think you could have enhanced the experience if you wore that dapper suit to the Rolex store. Selling the two watches in order to buy the one was a good move if it gives you the excuse to go on another excision to the Rolex dealer. Love that Batman!
Congratulations! I recently added a Batman to compliment my Hulk and the caped crusader is definitely getting more wrist time. On the waitlist for the Daytona but here in Philly expecting a two year wait. Keep it real and all the best!
VenetianLion that's excellent. The Daytona has ridiculous waiting times world wide. Thank you for commenting. Do subscribe and check out my watch only related channel here ru-vid.com
I had the same issue either to sell my Explorer II black dial for this Batman, but I did not, I bought a new Batman and I kept both, praise God. #happy
Awesome timepiece! Definitely an iconic collectors watch and owned by most Rolex enthusiasts. The build quality is solid and the ceramic bezel is stunning! I owned the black version (GMT II c), it ended up being a safe queen because the polished portion of the bracelet is a scratch magnet. I eventually traded it in for a no date ceramic Sub with the brushed ss bracelet and wear it alternately with my Panerai PAM312. The Sub is better suited for daily wear or as a beater compared to the more dressy and scratch sensitive GMT II. Enjoy your new wrist candy, just make sure you avoid desk diving when wearing it. :)
Watching your video made me reminisced the experience on my first rolex. I went to all rolex store in Abu Dhabi (WTC, alwada, marina, yas, khalidiya and dubai mall) made friends with the sales agent and waited for almost 2 months just to get the batman. It was a wonderful hunt experience and all worth it. Cheers
Congrats on the Batman Emkwan and good idea about selling the other watches to fund that beauty! As for those folks that make the comments about your situation and what you buy, give 'em the single finger salute while keeping a smile on your face lol Keep up the positive vibes!
Hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Best ROLEX!!! ROLEX GMT MASTER II (2) BATMAN BLNR!!!!!! Awesome. Beautiful, handsome watch. Rolex... nice even got a cap basecall cap.... and the Rolex green bag. Yeah need to tell them to take out one link if needed if you want to.,
My brother lived in Abu Dhabi and he made it out like it was some boring nightmare. This place looks like Miami, sans people. I assume there are no people outside because it is outrageously hot. From this video it looks like Abu Dhabi is totally doable, especially given the typical expat packages. Also, that Batman is my dream watch right now (attainable grail). You are a lucky man. These are difficult to obtain in the US right now.
Do they often give a cap/ hat or wallet or some “gift” to you when you are buying a Rolex? Because I’ve seen some people been getting them and others have not.
Man, my batman just arrived then I pick it up. Did u pay for the retail? My dealer told me there is no discount what so ever on this model. Did they offer you a discount?
I've been leaning towards the Planet Ocean 600M, but now you have me rethinking everything! I forgot how beautiful that polishing is... Man what a gorgeous watch! BATMAN
rolex are a very normal plain looking watch aren't they especially the all steel ones. I much prefer a stainless steel audemars piguet offshore that you have.
There will always be haters whatever you do in life. Don`t even think about them. I own the exact watch that you just purchased and it is a significant piece from a Rolex historical point of view. The first time they have introduced Bi-colour on a ceramic bezel. My only friendly advice is try not to flip this one if you can in the event of purchasing your next Rolex, as this will hold its value very well. Superb watch and best of luck to you. Biju London
