Rolex Oyster Perpetual “Bijan”Yellow Dial or Bijan Dial nickname

[tclassen]

I was just thinking about potential nick names for the new Oyster Perpetual dial colors, which were released by Rolex this year. Upon looking at the Yellow Oyster Perpetual dial, I could help but think it should be nicknamed the “Bijan” dial. This is due to the fact that the shade of yellowish orange that Rolex chose, is starkly reminiscent to Bijan’s legendary yellow.

For those of you who haven’t heard of Bijan, they are a bespoke tailor in LA, who are know for making ridiculously expansive cloths, and for their signature shade of yellow. They also are known to collaborate with auto makers, in order to create bespoke cars in their signature yellow color. Their most recognizable collaboration, is the Yellow Bugatti Veyron, which is known to sit outside of Bijan’s LA Boutique.

What are everyone’s though though on nicknaming the yellow Oyster Perpetual dial the “Bijan” dial ? Personally, I think it’s very fitting nickname for a dial that is in a majestic eye catching shade of yellow.

Like you said, nobody has heard of Bijan. No matter how many photos you put up of the shop, something nobody knows about is not going to catch on.

Excuse me?! Nobody has heard of Bijan?! Lol. Bijan is or at least once was the MOST EXPENSIVE male designer in the world. He is an absolute legend in LA.

May he RIP.

Here is a link with some education.

Eh, everyone's perspective is different. Have spent a ton of time in LA and still have never heard of him.

And that's fine... there are a bunch of things that I don't know about, and my wife often makes fun of me for being ignorant about some things that involve brands or artists or pop culture related matters.

But Bijan is a popular male designer who has dressed many presidents, royalty-- a designer and fragrance maker who is internationally known.

OP that's definitely a Bijan color dial. Have you seen his son's watch collection, the one that took over his business?

So we have Tiffany and Bijan in the OP selections

Bijan is very much a Los Angeles thing. If you were rich, into fashion, and shopped on Rodeo Drive, you knew who he was. Very much like if you were a rich foodie in L.A. in the 1980s, you knew about Spago. Very few people outside the super rich know or care about Bijan.

I've barely heard of LA.

I've heard of Bijan. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best of contexts; throughout his trial for fraud and tax evasion, Paul Manafort's bills were routinely brought up in court, with pictures of the items Manafort had purchased from Bijan's Beverly Hills location.

[HappyPrince]

I haven’t spent much time in L.A. but I still know about Bijan. Not really a surprise that a brand that takes pride in being the “most expensive” will usually attract customers with more money than sense or taste (including shady characters like Paul Manafort).

I vote for “yellow OP”.

It's the Bart Simpson :-)

I was thinking Pikachu but you get my drift. I think that's why so many new nicknames are cartoon characters. Everyone knows them. Whether they are appropriate is another discussion entirely.

It’s more Lufthansa yellow

I have no idea what the house of Bimjam is. Sorry

Orange - EasyJet
Yellow - Lufthansa
Green - Emirates
Red - Virgin
Blue - Tui
Any other colours? I’ve missed

Never heard of it.

[EEpro]

Lol. One of the first posters had it right. No matter how many...

[Moondoggy]

Thanks Mr Bijan, never heard of it for good reason.

[Kliminator]

Lol - why do people try so hard to come up with this stuff? Is there some personal level of gratification if a nickname someone comes up with ends up getting used by the community? I don't get it

Whatever floats your boat, I guess

On topic & for the record - never heard of Bijan

[Binky1]

Is it me and my advancing years...or are these products ever so slightly..Errr...flamboyant?

In all honesty, I didn’t try hard to come up with it all. I saw a post about Bijan on Instagram, and realized that Bijan yellow, is extremely similar to the yellow OP dial. So I decided to make a sporadic post.

[texasmade]

I never heard of Bijan until Paul Manafort got popped by the feds and his shopping sprees there was used as evidence. I remember thinking at the time Paul isn’t exactly who I pictured as a Bijan customer.

[Sandpit]

Mango dial is about the only name I've seen for this one that I liked.

What's a Bijan anyways

I'm becoming a bit jaundiced by these nickname threads... (see what I did there? )
