The “Batgirl” is the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLNR worn on the five-link Jubilee bracelet. Case, black dial, blue-and-black Cerachrom bezel and calibre 3285 are identical to the Batman’s — the bracelet alone separates the two nicknames. The reference was introduced at Baselworld 2019 and remains in production.
Why is it called the Batgirl?
When Rolex retired the Oyster-bracelet 116710BLNR in 2019, its successor arrived on a Jubilee only. The five-link bracelet gave the previously tool-like BLNR a dressier, more vintage character, and collectors decided the change deserved its own name. The label began as a half-joke, but it solved a genuine problem: once Rolex started offering the same reference on two bracelets in 2021, “Batman” and “Batgirl” became the shorthand that distinguishes configurations sharing a single reference number. The Jubilee itself is far older than the nickname — the five-link design dates to 1945, when it debuted on the first Datejust, 74 years before it reached a BLNR GMT.

On the genuine watch the two bracelet configurations carry the same list price, and Rolex treats the choice as a simple option at the point of sale; the nicknames exist entirely in the collector market. Calibre 3285 provides a 70-hour power reserve and an independently settable local hour hand, so the wearer can jump time zones without stopping the seconds — the feature that defines a “true” GMT.
Super clone availability
We stock two Batgirl super clones of the 126710BLNR on the Jubilee bracelet, priced between £434 and £904 — a Japanese-movement build at the lower figure and a Swiss-movement SuperClone at the top. Both carry the black dial and blue-and-black ceramic bezel of the genuine article; choosing between them is purely a question of movement tier. Buyers who prefer the Oyster-bracelet look should compare the Batman listings, since the watch head is identical.
