On a lighter note... would you like to get a unicorn or a purple rabbit? 126710BLNR has an improved movements and an increased PR. Definitely recommend 126710BLNR but both are subject to availability.
They are both very nice but the Oyster will be more collectible long term. It’s best looking modern GMTII in the line up. But to each their own as to which you like.
I’d love to add the Rootbeer one day. It’s sharp looking.

You can buy used or from forum etc. grey dealers will just take advantage and a leg while at it. Batgirl is delivering quite well at ADs since March. AD would be route to go if like the Batgirl
With the darker colors of the Bat___ to my eye the oyster looks better. Jubilee seems to fit better with the lighter colors of the Pepsi..... If they ever do a Coke I think that's guuna look better on an oyster too....
Batman as I think the bracelet just looks better. However due to the scarceness of both models at boutiques at MSRP I would pick up either if I found them!
In an ideal world Batgirl because of the movement upgrade but on an oyster as this is the true tool watch, the jubilee makes it more dressy and less suited to casual wear.
Fun fact, the Batgirl gets the Rolex logo in between the "Swiss" and "Made" to indicate the new movement, the Batman is just "Swiss Made".

Batman on the Oyster is the original plus the first edition for this GMT II offer. Introducing an extremely iconic and collectible piece for centuries to come.
Being it had never been part of the line up and is now the GMT II to have says wonders for the piece.
Wear what you have in good health! Seek and wait for current offers from your AD.
I have seen some folks put the Batman on a jubilee so whilst I have not seen it anywhere putting the Batgirl on an oyster may also be possible, giving you the best of both.
I am not a fan of the jubilee for a watch like this, just doesn't seem to fit to me. Too blingy, too dressy. Prefer the Oyster of the Batman with a more appropriate tool look.
If your motivation is an investment, I'd go with the first iteration. If you're going for the better watch, I'd go with the 2019 due to the better movement. Bracelets can be obtained and changed to suit your liking. If you're willing to pay whatever the premium is for either model, you'd likely be willing to spend on another bracelet.
The Batgirl would be intriguing to me simply because I like the longer power reserve. I would also like to steal the bracelet off, and switch it to my Daytona. Then I would put the Batman bracelet back on the GMT. Heheee!
I believe all GMT’s should be on Jubilee including two tone and solid gold.
It really separates them from Subs & Sea-dwellers.
The new movement alone is worth going 2019 version, and the Jubilee bracelets are perfect.
I gave my 2018 BLRO to my kid and it’s really nice and eye catching as Sportura pointed out.
I believe we overthink this stuff far too much.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they offered a solid gold Jubilee on a Root-Beer style?

Batgirl for me, the lugs are slightly slimmer and while I prefer oyster bracelets, the jubilee would set it apart from the other professional models and it is comfortable and scratches don't appear as much.
Has anyone attempted to swap a SubC bracelet to their batgirl?
I was told by an SA at my AD that due to lug or spring bar changes no Oyster will fit the Batgirl or Pepsi.....
