New Nicknames!
Full disclaimer, I’m in the hate the nicknames camp, but it’s inevitable. Sooo… let’s hear what you’ve got, do your worst! :p

A few I’ve seen so far:

Dark Knight
Mr. Batgirl
CExplorer
What else?!

Meteorite Daytona = Spacetona?
TT Sky-dweller = Mimosa!

I feel like we are discussing fashionable wallets, purses or shoes most of the time, not watches.

Hard to believe folks would stay on the forum if they're so upset (e.g. "I'm in hell") at what it's become. Seems like folks would leave, but I guess some are gluttons for punishment. I, for one, don't mind nicknames, jokes, investment arguments, etc. Heck, it's just harmless fun as far as I'm concerned. I would suggest not reading nickname posts if they're so disturbing to the (truly noble?) profession of discussing watches on the internet.

I’m with a few old timers and do much more prefer to learn about them. But you have to admit these nicknames do stick. And besides what’s wrong with a little fun now and then? So with that, I’ll throw in:
The All New Daytonite Line! Get it, day (oyster) nite (Full Gold) Meteorite!


Anyone?
