If you think you’ve heard all of the Rolex nicknames, guess again..
This article surfaces some I haven’t heard of. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing!!
The Sprite though I don't think so. You can't give a nickname to a fake watch that wasn't even designed by Rolex. I'm surprised the author missed the Patrizzi Daytona and Cream Rail Explorer 2 though |

I’m very glad there’s no cartoon name for the simple submariner!

The Steve McQueen.
A real collectors piece although he never owned or wore one. And undoubtedly had better taste. Oops. |

Apparently no love for the original Root Beer (aka: Tiger's Eye and Clint Eastwood) Really? I mean c'mon the CHNR doesn't even have nipple markers.

I've never heard or read of anyone referring to the "Coke" as the "Coca Cola," either. Also, and I could be wrong, but the Explorer II with the Rail Dial seems to have the "Frog Foot" coronet, while the one labeled "Frog Foot, has then normal coronet. A little research dug up this article from Hodinkee that refers to the "Kermit," as the "Froggie." That's a new one on me.

How do you think they came to the "Dominos Pizza" nickname?
