For me there are many. People calling the Sub the no date for example.
Calling any of the new blue dial Subs Bluesy is another.

What's yours?

I second this. Considering we are all pretty much Rolex fanatics, it shouldn't be too hard to get excited and recognize the model numbers... I hated Batman when I was growing up and now I would hate to think I wear "his" watch. Ha ha ha. Not really a big deal though.

For me its quicker to type when I just stick to letters, and nicknames are generally good, the shorter the better as I am on here way too much as it is.

Don't like Rollie, Batman or Bruiser but otherwise all are fine by me. Smurf must be a pain for those with the luxury gold watch - where did this misnomer-name come from?

Wesley Crusher · 8 May 2014, 01:32 PM

None of them really bother me. I thought that "Batman" was somewhat lame. Others did too, I guess, given that it never really caught on.

Generally all, but Rolly is the absolute worst.

kings4sap · 8 May 2014, 02:01 PM

The term Smurf blows. Despise Batman as well.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that but I hate as well.

AndyK · 8 May 2014, 02:10 PM

I wouldn't say any of them actually drive me nuts, but in my mind watch nicknames are either a Seiko thing or a vintage Omega thing. It seems un-Rolex for some reason and it feels like a recent (last 5-7 years) development in the Rolex world.

Nidal · 8 May 2014, 02:13 PM

Bluesy! Sounds like a name brand for a BRA!

Laszlo · 8 May 2014, 02:13 PM

Rollie.

But then there is Rollei, which is one of the finest twin reflex cameras in the world.

Both spellings are used and misused on the forum.
