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.

I was skeptical about super clones for years. Posts like this finally convinced me to try one. Ordered last week.

I had mine pressure tested at 10 ATM. Passed without issue. These are legit.

Retired as well. The research process was half the fun. Enjoy the watch!

Nice! What strap are you running on it? I find the bracelet a bit heavy for summer.

Thanks for sharing. How long did shipping take to your area? I'm in the Midwest and wondering about timing.

Great write-up. I have the same model and everything you said about the finishing is spot on.

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

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

My wife got me one for our anniversary. Same reaction - I was speechless. These make incredible gifts.

The GMT hand jumping independently is the killer feature. I use it every time I fly.
