If you’re on the lookout for a preowned Rolex in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed there are a great many different Rolex watches named after superheroes. For those of you who are comics purists, you’ll notice they’ve got both DC and Marvel heroes, too. Well, whether you’re looking for a Batman, a Hulk, a Batgirl, or a Green Lantern, you have a great many choices. With the new Rolex Bruce Wayne, you can even get secret identities.
Of course, none of these names are official. They’re nicknames, and if there’s one thing the Rolex collecting community does very, very well, it’s assigning nicknames. Well, let’s face it. It’s easier to say a Rolex Hulk than it is to say a Rolex Submariner reference 116610LV. The Hulk features a green Cerachrom bezel, a green dial, and a Rolex Super case. The giant green superhero makes sense, right? You won’t hear a Rolex employee call it by the unofficial nickname but you’re going to hear it from authorized dealers, Rolex owners, and all over the secondary market.
Unlike the Hulk, the Green Lantern isn’t fully green at all. The GMT-Master II reference 126720VTNR is a left handed watch with a green and black bezel. There are three nicknames for this one. It is sometimes called the Rolex Sprite (after the beverage) or the Rolex Destro (which is Italian for right, the wrist a left-hander puts it on) which just goes to show how much the Rolex community loves their nicknames.
And what about Batman and Batgirl?
They have a nearly identical design. Both are the Rolex GMT Master-II model and the coloring is nearly identical. The Batman is reference 116710BLNR and has an Oyster bracelet. It is a powerful, robust, and beautiful watch. As for the Batgirl, it is also a beautiful and powerful watch with the same black and blue coloring. What distinguishes it from the “Dark Knight” is its slimmer profile and jubilee bracelet. It appears to be a little more graceful, just like batgirl.
