Not so long ago, there was a false Rumour floating around that the Batman would be discontinued. I mean the Rolex kind, not the Ben Affleck kind. And as per usual, the collective watch community was suffering a massive amount of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), much to the ‘watch flippers’ delight who instantly raised prices to ridiculous levels. I covered the fact at the time (read it here), and was absolutely not convinced the design would go away so quickly. Instead I mentioned there would be some production rationalisation happening with the introduction of the latest calibre in the Bat, the same as for the other steel GMT, the Pepsi.
My calculated guess concerning the calibre was correct, they upgraded the model with the Calibre 3285 – and of course there was a twist to the story: The introduction of the Jubilee bracelet.
