No. I'd rather tweeze my nipple hair than participate in a roundtable discussion about bezel nicknames.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the name, but it is what I heard the Rolex guys are calling it in Geneva. Maybe we can just all call them by the reference number / colors, wouldn't that be nice.

Sums modern day society, if you don’t confirm to the one viewpoint you’re out - so how about you’re out ? , it’s a bit of fun, why even click on the thread when you knew full well the content ? To just act like a bitter and twisted child who can’t get their own way ?

You can go on the Rolex website, type these nicknames in the search bar, and the exact watch comes up. Rolex, if it doesn't give these nicknames officially, they definitely adopt them.

I'll probably get attacked for this, but considering the history of Rolex and superhero nicknames, it seems fairly obvious to me what this one should be called.

These nicknames are so corny, to the point that they put me off on the watches. Like imagine someone coming up to you, pointing to your wrist, and saying “hey is that a sprite?”
