Batman GMT - 1 year of daily wear review

Got this exactly one year ago today. Figured I'd do a proper long-term review. The black and blue ceramic has held up perfectly. No fading, no scratches. The bezel action is still firm. The movement is running at +3s/day, same as when it arrived. The bracelet shows minimal stretch. The clasp still snaps shut firmly. The lume is still bright. Only maintenance: I had it pressure tested and cleaned at my local watchmaker. He couldn't tell it wasn't genuine until he opened the caseback. Best purchase I've made in years. Already ordered a Submariner from the same seller.

Salt water is the ultimate test. Mine has held up perfectly too.

Fellow pilot here. The GMT function is genuinely useful at 35,000 feet. Great choice.

The chrono pushers on mine are buttery smooth. People are always surprised when I tell them.

That dial color is perfect. Photos never do these justice.

This is exactly my experience. The QC video is what sold me too. No other seller does that.

Fellow engineer here. I did the same spreadsheet analysis. TIME'MAX won on transparency every time.

Reading this while saving up for my first one. Posts like this keep me motivated.
