I'm sorry, but you can't use or say that....

....its Rolex's registered trademark:

Rolex
Oyster (be careful what you order at your next seafood bar)
Air-King
Cerachrom
Cellini (not Benvenuto Cellini, the other Cellini)
Chromalight
Cosmograph
Crownclasp
Crownlock
Datejust
Day-Date
Daytona (they might have a problem with this one)
Deepsea
Easylink
Everose
Explorer (those who actually explore will now be referred to as wanderers through the wilderness)
Glidelock
GMT Ice
GMT-Master
Goldust
Jubilee (didn't Queen Elizabeth have one of those a few years ago?)
Milgauss
Oysterclasp
Oysterflex
Parachrom
Paraflex
Pearlmaster
Perpetual (Einstein is rolling over in his grave right now)
President (anybody notify Trump yet?)
Ringlock
Rolesium
Rolesor
Rolex Royal Black (that's a new one on me)
Rolex Royal Pink (I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there)
Sea-Dweller
Sky-Dweller
Submariner (let's see you sell this idea to the US Navy)
Tridor
Triplock
Turn-O-Graph
Twinlock
Yacht-Master
Yacht-Master Regatta

It seems the only trademarked, copyrighted, homogenized, blended, protected word they didn't include in this list is UNOBTAINIUM, which is the material that most Rolex watches will be made from after their next round of price increases.

Unobtanium is a trademark of Oakley so technically you can't use that, either.

OP forgot the most important registered trademark, the crown device.

OP, it seems like you don’t understand how trademarks work. Trademarks are filed with “classes,” or categories. So Rolex has the term Explorer when describing watches. Ford has the term Explorer when describing cars.
