Hah! 6 months ago when I bought mine I asked to see a "BLNR" at the AD... the sales guys said "Oh, the Black & Blue?".... I actually ended up buying from a different AD as this one was out of stock and claimed to have 4 deposits already lined up. They did call me 2 months later to let me know one was available.

I agree. It's a bad nickname and I get annoyed when even an AD tells me that "the waiting list for the Batman is long"..

If that's what you get annoyed about, I'd hate to see you dealing with real problems.

It's just one thing I get annoyed about. Doesn't mean I can't deal with "real" problems

That's like the people that I hear get angry at the fact that they call the vintage sub dials "Bart dial's". My question is whyyyy?!?!

Not a fan of the nicknames either but not to the point where it bothers me.

Seems like a familiar theme ... So if I wanted to start trouble ... Like others .. I'd say oh well it will forever be known as batman because some "long time" ago it was thus. Can't be changed ....

But since batman never wore this watch, I won't say that .... So I agree with you op!

Don't see what the fuss is. After all, there's the Coke, the Pepsi, the Root Beer which all seem to be quite widely used nicknames.

Of course you might know of a soft drink that's got a blue and black colour scheme, in which case, knock yourself out.
