- Hi everyone, I hope you are keeping well!
I cannot believe that it is only 7 short weeks ago I collected my Datejust 41mm ( 126334 ) from the Rolex Authorised Dealer and they have already called to offer me my dream Rolex.
That's right! In this video I bring you along with me to collect my Brand New Rolex GMT Master 2, Reference 126710BLNR, The Batgirl! My Grail watch!
The Rolex GMT Master 2 on the jubilee bracelet (Batgirl) has been my dream Rolex watch to purchase for a number of years! I first registered for the watch with my Local Rolex Authorised Dealer in August 2020. I truly never thought the day would ever come that they would offer me this watch to buy.
After the success of my first Rolex collection video I decided to bring you along with me to collect the watch.
The watch collecting community on CZcams has been an excellent source of entertainment for me while being stuck indoors due to the pandemic. I hope this video brings someone out there some entertainment and advice as many other videos on youtube have done for me.
Many Thanks for watching, subscribe and comment for more content.

Great video, Adam. And once again, congratulations on your beautiful Rolex Grail :)
Thank you mate never thought the day would come 🙌🏼
Congratulations on the new piece and thank you for sharing it with us
Thank you for the kind comment! 🙌🏼
Cool Watch. Will get mine on Friday after 2 years of waiting 🥂
Congrats buddy, got mine 12 months ago followed by the James Cameron deepsea 5 months later, very fortunate. Wear in good health and enjoy
Mate that is amazing! I bet you love them both! The Deepsea is an absolute beauty of a timepiece! You too my friend, stay safe.
Congrats. It’s a beautiful piece and I remember getting the phone call for mine as well.
No better feeling mate 🙌🏼
Great video and love the ⬛️watch🟦!!!
I’ve had mine since September.
It’s always nice to hear of a normal guy getting the piece they want!
Thank you mate! Honestly over the moon and couldn’t believe it. I really thought the day wouldn’t come 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great story buddy. Very happy for you and congratulations 🎉
Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Hi Adam, had my first experience in my local AD a goldsmiths, first ever time i walked in, no purchase history, I was offered a seat, allowed to try on the sub Date black bezel, and the yachtmaster 40 rhodium.. ( Exhibition models ) I was honest open it was a milestone no special occasion.. I was offered champaign given a lovely new rolex book it was amazing vibes no negativity just open and honest.. when leaving he said hopefully things will be good by christmas 2021 for the Yachtmaster 40 rhodium as my first watch.. but nohing said in cement..
From this i gather high hopes!! what do you think? Ive been turned away from other Ads with absolute no joy but this one was completely different... thanks for your videos! subscribed!
beautiful piece my man. congrats.. cant wait to buy mine this year
Thannks for the vid! Curious how much other stuff you bought from the AD leading up to getting the DJ and the GMT? Cheers!
Got one myself great looking watch
Amazing watch (though checking it out yesterday I was slightly underwhelmed by its bezel action, much prefer their divers in that regard). Am on a waitlist for the blue Milgauss now, love that piece.
Hi mate! Yes, Milgauss is a beauty! For me the 40mm size of the GMT was perfect. Fits exactly how I like to wear a watch! 🙌🏼 I hope the call comes soon for you
This is surreal, completely different to the experience I had when I bought my steel Submariner,
I decided I needed to get a nice watch, and since I'm big James Bond fan, I decided on a Submariner.
I used to work in Birmingham city centre, so on a whim, I walked over to Warches of Switzerland after work, and saw that they had a steel no-date Sub in the window.
I walked in, asked to look at it, and then walked out with it on my wrist about ten minures later. The only reason it took so long was because they had a bit of trouble getting the screw out of the bracelet to size it to my wrist.
The whole process from vaguely deciding I wanted a nice watch to owning a Submariner was less than 24 hours.
Admittedly, this was nearly 20 years ago now, but I cant believe how different it is today.
The fact that you have to put your name down on a years-long waiting list, and buy other watches you don't necessarily want just to gain favor with the dealer is bizarre
Ive been very lucky! you should see my lastest collection video! even crazier
The Batgirl has really been pumped out, lately. Got mine in April. Great watch.
Yes mate! All to our benefit! How are you finding it? I absolutely love it!
@@Experienceitwithadam Love how the bracket looks in the light. Kind of blingy but not as brash as gold.
@@Mikelennon78 I totally agree! After wearing the jubalee bracelet ! My tag feels so I comfy now 😂
I have the Mark 1 on oyster , before the hype started . I went on list in 2015
Got the same watch today as an early birthday present over the moon video doesn’t do it justice 👌🏽
Happy birthday mate! What a present! How good do they look in person 😍😍😍
@@Experienceitwithadam unbelievable just took it to a jeweller to get it adjusted and got told it was fake and to get out the shop 😂 I have all the authenticity papers aswell 🙄
Incredible. I’m still waiting and waiting very patiently :)
🙌🏼 I hope the call comes soon mate! I’m sure it will if you show you are a genuine collector
Really beautiful watch! Make a lot of great stories with it!
I sure will Stephen ! Thank you for the kind comment 🙏🏼
This was my first choice for a Rolex , offered a Bluesy, which I took up , glad to see you wearing it , it is a great looker , enjoy.🇦🇺
That’s awesome mate! Such an awesome watch! They are made to be worn in my eyes 💪🏼 thanks for the kind comment mate
Did you get yours from a AD and what state no Sydney AD has any
Melbourne AD
This is my favorite watch, thanks for the video! Like I told my AD, I prefer the oyster but if you call me with one on jubilee I'm still coming in to get it! Lol. Along with the Explorer II polar dial for my 3 on the wishlist. Fingers crossed my time will come soon.
In all honestly I’m a jubilee man! 😂 but yes it’s a stunning piece. I really hope you get the call soon my mate🙌🏼
Lucky Bastard !! That is my grail watch.....
Great vid, got the text from my AD this afternoon that mine had come in. Headed there in the morning to pick it up. Congrats on yours!
Awesome news!!!! Congratulations mate!
Congrats! I like the Bruce Wayne moniker instead of the Batgirl moniker. For me, it works better because it is a dresser watch that fits it's on wrist presence. Batgirl for a men's watch, for me, does not work. Enjoy and I hope the moniker Bruce Wayne catches on. Thoughts?
Personally I’m a big Jubilee bracelet fan and after wearing it for the last week or so, I can safely say it’s one of the comfiest bracelets on a watch! But I know people are split 50:50 between batgirl and Batman
Please.
Such a beautiful piece, please take good care of it.
Thank you my friend! I will treasure it! And keep it safe :)
Congratulations! I will never leave the TAG shelterless, just purchase a 3 watch roll.😂
I’m defo going to have to mate 😂 been with me through thick and thin that watch😂🙌🏼
This gives me hope, I’ve been trying to get a Pepsi in the UK for over 2 years now but still had no luck. Praying for one of these calls soon 🙏🏼
Mate I was feeling exactly the same when I first registered. I’m a very normal guy, with a very normal income. The AD were very good to me and I was very lucky. You will get the call one day 🙏🏼
@@Experienceitwithadam Love that. Very pleased for you mate! I’ll let you know if/when I get it :)
@@robcousinsdrummer please do Robert! I hope the call comes soon mate! Take care!
Very nice watch. Congratulations!
Thank you so much! Over the moon! Dream come true!
Congrats and wear it in great health buddy !!
Thank you brother 🙌🏼
congratulations bro!! Love That Watch!!!
Thank you bro! It’s a beauty!
Beautiful one, congrats!!!
Thank you mate! Over the moon with it!
Great choice I bought the same
Congrats and enjoy!
Congratulations! That is my preferred version as well. It is subtly elegant and sporty: like Bruce Wayne. The Pepsi is a bit too flashy IMO.
Enjoy your watch , it's a beautiful piece .
Thanks John! 💪🏼
@@Experienceitwithadam I've just put my name down for the Pepsi. My AD seems quiet optimistic, she can get me one . But might have to wait a while .
One of my favourites just received the call I got one myself
Congrats lucky guy
This video made me happy.
Thank you sir! 🔥
Hey Adam, just had my phone call from the York store regarding the Datejust too - wahoo! Out of curiosity, how did you approach registering for multiple watches with them, without it coming across as though you’re just going for the sought after models? I’d love a GMT too but was conscious of it looking as though I was only buying the Datejust as a stepping stone for the big boys! Would be great to hear what you did.
Thanks
I registered for the GMT first, then a few month later registered for the DJ.
Got the call for the DJ then the GMT. I don’t think it’s cheeky to register for a few of your desired models. Also buying your DJ shows your aren’t time wasting! I hope this help! They are fantastic there and really made my collection special
I purchased a DJ from my AD in March. 2 tone, black dial, oyster. Love it. Just put my name in for a Pepsi Jubilee . How long do u think?
@@miketorre16 awesome mate! Hard to say! Keep popping in every few months to show face so that they keep you in mind
@@Experienceitwithadam gotcha, I'll do that. And so they can clean my watch as well 👍
@@miketorre16 how long were you on the list for a DJ?
Congrats mate one heck of a watch. Can you tell me what navy blue watch roll that you have? I really like it
Sure mate! If you jump onto my channel I made a video on it, they are really good value 🙌🏼
Congrats wear it in good health 🎉
Thank you my friend for the kind comment 🙌🏼
What else have you bought from AD in terms of spend history?
Nice pick up man!
Beautiful watch, beautiful girlfriend, beautiful scenery! What else can a man want. congratulations my new friend!
Thank you my brother 🙌🏼 thanks for the kind comment
Great stuff Adam, and not sure how this video slipped past me,
A Datejust and GMT are all you’ll ever need.
Thanks for sharing, and what are you wearing today?
I’m sporting the Blue-DJ-41 myself!
Thank you for the kind comment!
Today I’m rocking my Tag Claibr 5 Aguaracer. It’s my working watch and has been with me for almost 7 years!
The GMT will be making an appearance this weekend though!
I completely agree! True masterpieces by Rolex. I hope you have a great weekend mate
So you get a Rolex and your bird gets a Gucci chain.
Bet she was happy about that 👀
😂😂😂😂 even the Rolex store dug me out for that 😂😂😂😂
Congratulations don't know how I found your channel maybe because we carry the same interests. Hope I get the new GMT Pepsi I have registered my interest in. Subbed bro.
Hi Slewer! Thanks so much for subbing mate! I really hope you get the call soon. My advice is be patient, use the authorised dealer for other purchases that you need ( gifts etc ) and be an honest collector 🙌🏼 keep in touch! Cheers Ad
@@Experienceitwithadam Thanks Adam, Iam from UK Ldn so Iam going to use them, and try your method. I let you know how I get on if Iam lucky one day, fingers crossed 👍🏾
Lucky man 👍🏻
How can I get one from an AD. I’m lookin to get the gmt or the date just 2 as my first watch
One question for you Adam: how long did it take between order the watch and receive it from the official dealer? Thanks for your comment (and for this great video!)
I registered my interest around August last year. So it took about 9 months mate. This isn’t a usual case and I was very lucky. I know some people who have waited 3 years
Congrats! Enjoy your gmt
Thank you mate! Took some getting used to! Can’t wait to travel and have the two time zones running
@@Experienceitwithadam I brought mine (126710 full black , jubilee band ) in 2003 and wear it 24/7 , swim, dive and sleep with it. Best deal ever
How long was the wait ?
Thanks for sharing your journey to get this beautiful piece. Really helps us to still have hope to get them from AD directly. Hopefully my turn soon :)
Thanks so much for the kind comment mate! I sure hope the time comes soon! Let me know when you get the call! Thanks again!
Yeah mate, I have been working with local AD here in Singapore for 2 years but really difficult to get GMT till this day altho I was able to obtain Sub & YM so far. Now, it is definately a pc that I'm dying to get. I couldn't be happier for you mate. And by the way those cocktails are fancy and I miss York so much! Hope you enjoy wearing it for years to come..
I finally got a call from my AD last week and got offered a rootbeer, mate! I feel absolutely over the moon.. Been waiting for almost a year since I put in my interest list. I can only say, don't ever give up the hope from getting the sport pieces from AD :) 🥂
That a beautiful piece health to wear chum, I'm sure your burger was soggy in that rain LOL
Hello mate, thank you!! Haha the rain didn’t stop us having a great day! 😂
My friend has this exact model and got it in 2018 as a payment for a car he sold. He doesn’t even use it and didn’t know what it is worth now until I told him.
Can I buy it? 🤪
@@Experienceitwithadam Since he knows the value now, he suddenly appreciates it haha.
@@vika0194 haha I bet mate! Beautiful watch!
I've recently registered my interest for this model but not getting my hopes up! Did you keep popping in to have a chat or was it simply you registered your interest and got the call a few months later? I don't have any purchase history, so I'm also presuming that will make it harder too - just so set on this watch haha
Hi mate, no I didn’t nag them, I just popped in over like Xmas time and birthdays and bought bits of Jewellery as and when I needed it. They were really good with me, and understood that I had a passion for watches
Did you get a bezel protector in the set?
No, they didn’t even present it with one, which I found strange
Love my 2022 Batman on jubilee. Funny it looks massive on your wrist and quite small on mine. I have 7,5 inch wrist. What are yours. My other daily is the Rolex dsd jc 44 Mm
Hey man! Awesome watch isn’t it. My wrist is 7.2 👍🏼
The 2% back with Apple Pay doesn’t hurt either. Congrats mate.
Really? I didn’t know this was a thing??? Nice!
Interesting! I bought a datejust and they said I have very little chance in getting the gmt. Next that is likely is a black sub. Did they tell you gmt will be hard?
Hi Sach! Yes they did they basically told me it’s near impossible or I would be waiting about 3 years. However at my date just collection they could clearly see my passion and love for the watches. I had some great conversations with the AD. So in the end I think they decided to offer me the GMT 🙌🏼
@@Experienceitwithadam that's awesome! I will keep showing them my datejust :) great work
@@sash41 thank you mate! You will get the call eventually I’m certain!
I think datejust model are more purchased than sport model in rolex history.
had a chance to buy a oyster perpetual but could not find the money so sad mortgage comes first I've started a savings account 2 years to wait
I was looking at the batgirl hard but now the sprite might be the winner
Hands down the winner for me! Absolutely love the crown being on the left!
Where was the dealer located??
How much did you spend roughly before the call?
Bought my DJ41 in March and the bought my girlfriends necklace ( the one collected in this video). That’s everything
Smooth operator. "I got myself a Rolex on my girlfriend's birthday" ;)
😂 50% of the time it works every time ( although I did feel bad) purely timing 😂
Congrats on the batgirl. What is the name of the case you are using for your watches?
Hi mate, thanks so much! I think I have a video on the case on my channel :) can’t remember the name of it without checking
I subbed so I will check um out cheers
@@cyberjoetech13 thanks mate! Case has proven excellent!
How much in dollar?
How much did you pay for the gmt master ll batgirl?
£7,750 mate
Wow. Wish u can help me get one straight from the AD. 😢
good job ADAM . I got that call , last august for the batman. I have the jubilee bracelet , now its back on the oyster. I think the oyster, might be a tad nicer. ? did you say the shop adds another 5 year warranty ? making it covered for 10 years ? what is next ? I am looking for a blue sky dweller . peace . JDS/CT
How.. they are all sold out...
Fidel Castro had 2 Roles watches; one 4 Havana & the other 4 Moscow. The original GMT
Ultimate demonstration of Rolex marketing. They manage to overhype their products and sell them at 20 times the cost. Customers furious ? Nope. Customers extatic.
Batgirl is nice … prefer the Batman myself
Yes both stunning :)
How much is it sir?
£7700
@@Experienceitwithadam where did you buy this watch? From official Rolex store right?
@@panhaprasidh7299 yes mate
Congrats!!! Need some of your luck so I can purchase a Batman on oyster!
The day will come mate 🙌🏼🙌🏼
If you pay with your Amex platinum you get 2x points. Not smart financially to pay straight cash for something like this.
I'd give your Mrs a good seeing to
Thanks Aaron 😂
The selling person has the fatest forearms i have ever seen. I think it would be not posible to put a watch on that wrist😂
Somehow, any GMT w/ Jubilee bracelet 'don't feel right'
As a fellow man United fan, once you get it on the wrist, I’ll never go back to Oyster ! The comfort of the Jubilee is a different level
Can all the Rolex geeks out there please stop calling a 40mm watch that was clearly made for men, the “Batgirl”???? If the goal is to simply distinguish the jubilee from the oyster bracelet then call it the “Bruce Wayne” or something since the jubilee bracelet is more flashy. Simple.
Yours sounds even more geeky bro 😂
Oyster is much better, Batman. Jubilee in the DJ is a perfect combo. However not on the sports models imo.
Nah jubilee makes it stand out from the sea of oysters out there.
Guess you have to be white for the AD to sell you the watch. I have tried for 4 years and no luck and all I see is white folks getting lucky.
😴 not even going to entertain you... Grow up and change the narrative
@@Experienceitwithadam I am grown up and it's true to look around on youtube or elsewhere it's mostly white folks who get the chance to own the watch not brown.
