Batman

Why it matters

Batman is the Rolex GMT-Master II with a black and blue Cerachrom bezel. It's one of the most-traded modern Rolex sport watches, partly because it shipped on both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets across different reference numbers, which doubles the variations in the market.

If you're buying a Batman, the bracelet (Oyster vs. Jubilee) and the production year are the two questions that drive everything else. Some buyers strongly prefer one bracelet over the other, and that preference shows up in resale price.
