How the Names Came About
The original Batman, reference 116710BLNR, arrived in 2013 on the Oyster bracelet. In 2019 Rolex replaced it with reference 126710BLNR, which carried the newer calibre 3285 and came only on the Jubilee. Collectors needed a way to tell the two apart, and the Jubilee version became the Batgirl.
In 2021 Rolex added the Oyster bracelet back as an option on the 126710BLNR. That means the current reference can be either a Batman or a Batgirl, depending on the bracelet it left the factory with.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Oyster bracelet gives the Batman a sportier, more tool watch look. The Jubilee gives the Batgirl a dressier feel, and many owners find its smaller links more comfortable. If you want the longer power reserve, choose a 126710BLNR on either bracelet. If you want the original that started the name, choose the 116710BLNR.
