Hey guys! This is Erik from SwissWatchExpo, and today I bring you two extremely
sought-after timepieces - very hard to find on the pre-owned market. I have the
Batman, the 126710 BLNR, and then the 116710 BLNR.
Both timepieces are extremely sought after. They're very hard to find. Most
dealers that you will call up will say, that they happen, they're able to source
them for you. We actually have them in stock, ready to ship. For these two timepieces
we have the ceramic bezel day-night indicator. We have the black on the top,
blue on the bottom. This one has the Jubilee bracelet, which is new for the
2019 model. The timepieces are actually really really light, they're very fun to
wear. You can actually see that they just fit really nice. It looks great with the
Jubilee bracelet. Can't go wrong with it! The other thing
that they added for this year, is gonna be a 70-hour power reserve and a +2 / -2
COSC rating which is one of the best Rolex ratings ever made. The timepiece
that we have here, the older model, the 116710 - really no
differences other than the power reserve, as well as the bracelet. You can see it
has the Oyster bracelet on this watch, where on the 2019 model, it has the Jubilee
bracelet. So other than that, there's not too many major differences that you'll notice. Just
right off the bat, a couple of things you will notice is
price. The 2019 model is gonna fetch a very high price on the secondary market,
especially because you can't find them in authorized dealers. The waitlist for
these things is crazy and a few people that have gone
the wait list for these for many months and still no call, still no notification,
nothing. So the fact that we actually have this watch in stock, is pretty
exciting. I'm actually really excited to show this to you guys, because there's
actually the first time I've ever seen it, too. I walked in this morning ready to
shoot this video, and of course this watch was just sitting on the back table
and I was so excited to pull it out, and try it on, and just actually get my hands
on it. So this timepiece again, you will not be
able to really find it anywhere at the moment, even in authorized dealers. So when
you do see it online, make sure that the dealer you're checking out has it. I'm
gonna describe it to you, maybe send you a few pictures. This timepiece is
absolutely gorgeous! I really like it compared to the model with the Oyster
bracelet. You know, the Jubilee bracelet gives it a little bit of a different
flavor, very similar to when the Pepsi came out with last year. So it just gives
it a nice little touch. With that said, with this model having a discontinued
bracelet and style on it, these are going to be extremely hard to find, in very
high demand, especially for the clientele that does not like the Jubilee as much
as the Oyster bracelet. And at the end of the day, there's not too many major
differences between the watches. As you can tell from just head on, you can't
really tell what's under the hood, unless you have a watchmaker that could tell
you where you can open it up. So we have a 48-hour power reserve on this, a 70-hour power
reserve on the 2019 model. And again +2 / -2 COSC rating, +4 / -6
COSC rating. So you have two watches that are basically identical, but you
know there's those minor differences that Rolex rolls out every year, that
make this timepiece much more valuable than this timepiece.
This one is extremely comfortable to wear. You can see that it just kind of
fits on there. It's a nice 40 millimeter size, so average build looks great. Even
on a smaller frame, it'll look great as well. Especially the Jubilee
bracelet - it just adds a lot more character and flavor than the Oyster bracelet, but
me personally I prefer the Oyster bracelet, so I've really really
enjoyed this watch. When it was first released, this watch caught my attention
just because it was just, very unique you know. You see the Pepsi, and you see all
the other flavors, and it's just not, nothing grabs my attention as much as
the Batman. Especially out of the city, you see a lot
of people with the Pepsi's, and black bezel GMTs - the regular 116710
LN. These are just extremely fun to wear - like you can wear these with jeans.
I'm wearing a suit today, and I would love to wear this watch with my suit
every day. It's not too formal, but also not too casual, so you can dress it up
wear it to the village, wear it to the pool. It has a nice GMT function for all you
world travelers out there. You can always change the GMT hand to set it to your
second time zone, if you're traveling through time zones quite often. It's just
a great travellers watch, great every day watch. The GMT (Master) as a whole has been around
for many years, many many years. And pilots, cruise ship captains, anyone
that's really traveling through time zones and has to have the GMT. It makes time
reading much easier, and it's really extremely extremely easy to wear. So you
know a lot of people, especially some people that aren't into watches, won't
really notice what the Batman or GMT is - but if you are in the watch scene and you
see this bad boy on someone's wrist, you will definitely make sure to say "Nice
watch!" So if you are in the market looking for a Batman - a
couple things to make sure of: Make sure that it's, if you see a
Jubilee bracelet on a Batman, make sure that it's the 126710
model, and not a 116710 model, 'cos that just means someone threw
a super Jubilee bracelet on Batman, that was meant to have an Oyster bracelet. Now,
of course you could do that, but at SwissWatchExpo, we're all about
originality and so you want to make sure that you're getting the original
timepiece exactly as it came from Rolex. This timepiece is rolling out in 2019,
and then you probably will not see it in any authorized dealers, or any other
dealers in the US for months. So, if you want to beat the line
go to a reputable dealer that has this watch in stock, ready to ship. You can
always put your name on when it lists but in AD wait lists you never know when
you're gonna be called and when your number is gonna be called. So if you want
this watch, make sure you reach out to a reputable dealer, and make sure it's the
original and authentic watch, and make sure you're getting the exact watch you
want. For me, out of these two, at the end of the day, I'll still probably go with
the Oyster bracelet on the older model - just because I really like the Oyster
bracelet with the high polished finish on the center links. Jubilee bracelet -
just not for me. I'm an Oyster bracelet kind of guy,
but I know a ton of people that will be waiting in line to get this timepiece.
And that wraps it up for today's show! If have any questions, feel free to call
us. But again, I'm happy to bring you these two pieces. I'm happy we have them
and I'm excited to see more of these timepieces in our showroom, and be able
to bring you guys a lot more cool, fun stuff throughout the year. Take care and
I hope that you guys all have a wonderful day!
