Or, heaven forbid, "GMT master with a blue and black bezel".

I mean, I can see how hard that must be for some folk

A grown, sane person can’t possibly feel this strongly about watch nicknames.

Rolex is acknowledging most of the nicknames given to their watch models, and I think you should do the same for easier reference.
