Why would the new 126610LV be called anything but a Kermit? I kinda get Cermit but Starbucks makes zero sense.

Did the new Pepsi get a new name even though it had a ceramic bezel? If the 126610LV had a green starburst face wouldn't it be called the Hulk still?

Black face Sub + Green bezel = Kermit

End of story, lol.
Honestly call it whatever you want, just adding my worthless 2 cents about the subject.

IBTL. Also, not sponsored but definitely acknowledged. Do a search on Kermit @ the Rolex website.

Kermit is... search for it on their website. It is an indexed term.

It’s not against forum rules, just these threads never end well. Lots of people despise these silly names and others light the fire by inventing even worse.
Your watch, call it how you like

You don't care so much you started a thread about it?

The old one didn't have a ceramic bezel, this one does so those who like the nicknames need a new one. Its their game, they make the rules.

I’m sure you weren’t prepared for the backlash ... nicknames are a sensitive subjects here

Haha, no I was not. Lol

Here's a tip for all these grouchy responses. If you don't like a topic, don't click on it and certainly don't respond. Best was the one guy that commented on how many posts I had and wasted one on this topic. Sorry didn't get the memo that I needed to be active on the forum to ask a light hearted questions like this.

Anyways glad to see a fellow Canadian on here.

Some folks just can’t resist whining and complaining about threads they should really ignore and scroll past. Speaks volumes about their sense of discipline.

I think most people think of it as a Kermit — so it’s a Kermit.

doramas · 23 October 2020, 07:12 AM

It is simply the 126610LV. The rest doesn't really interest me.

Goin2drt · 23 October 2020, 07:22 AM

Hold on a second, they were thinking of calling this watch a Cermit or Starbucks. I hadn’t heard that yet.

HansSolo · 23 October 2020, 07:40 AM

Nickname it whatever you want, but keep it a secret..

Uppersouth · 23 October 2020, 08:22 AM

The forum and the hobby is a place where both reference numbers and nicknames are tossed about equally. I personally like to know reference numbers of the watches I find interesting or wish to purchase. The irony in all of this discussion is you’re far more likely to hear AD sales associates use the nicknames than reference numbers. This perpetuates the slang use. As for your question, it’s being called “the new Kermit” most frequently.

Mr. K · 23 October 2020, 09:21 AM

I thought we decided on Godzilla. Or was it thin mint. Wait, maybe it was Robin Hood.

I forget.

brucethemanlee · 23 October 2020, 10:04 AM

My 126610LV is whatever i want to call it...

Geckobros · 23 October 2020, 10:08 AM

I call the watch I am wearing "My precious".

boogiebot · 23 October 2020, 10:11 AM

Why would any of these watches have any nick name at all?? Pepsi, Coke, hulk, Batman all seems weird to me.

HogwldFLTR · 23 October 2020, 06:45 PM

I think it's worth a real brawl deciding which cartoon/pet commercial names to call the watches. It's really important enough to get upset about and take up an entire new section of the forum!!!! Do you hear that mods? Let's create a new section just for these discussions!!!

OP, with an average of less than 20 post a year this is a really good use of one of your posts, not!!!!
