I think the OP posted the thread in good fun and to show off his amazing green date wheel especially if you consider the amount of nickname threads going around and the choices for names he listed....just saying

on that note, OP, new nick name for consideration, the Amazing Green Lantern?

How did you manage this?

Looks great!
RSC put a red date wheel in my Platinum Yachtmaster

What watch was the green date wheel produced for?

I don't know which models it was specifically produced for but am 99.9% sure the LN was not one of them.

It's your watch. Will it come to you when you call it? Like a dog?
How about GMT? Or "my Rolex"? Or "my watch"?

That's an awesome reference by the way. Great choice!

Not all SuperHeros wear capes, and not all Rolex needs names.

This one is pure class. It does not need a name.
