Girl name ideas for my watch

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the rolex forum and hopefully looking to purchase my first rolex (Explorer 2 Ref 16570)! I was bored and just wanted to see what creative ideas everyone has for a girl name or maybe share some of yours if you guys have. Is it weird to name your watch? Appreciate the ideas in advance! Lol

Mine move to fast to get named. It would get confusing.

The 16750 is a GMT-Master.

Funny, I name all my cars/bicycles but not my watches! Maybe I should do this!

Girl name ideas for my watch

OP: Welcome to TRF.
As for names, you’ll find there are many names people use like Hulk, Batman, Bluesy, etc. But few are co-ed. What names did you have in mind?

Good point Adam, perhaps a Mod could help her with a name change to “Explorer16570”?

I think subs are super nice too but I like the Explorer 2 because it’s not nearly as common and something about the red 24 hour hand speaks to me.

My local shop has a used polar dial. My dream is the black dial but the polar’s condition and year is exactly what I want, everything is PERFECT besides the dial color and i’m Pretty sure I could get it for a good deal too. Idk if I should be patient and risk missing out on this opportunity or just go for the polar instead. Any suggestions??

And to 77T: no ideas of names yet haha. Maybe Robin? Lol

Well if you go Polar (which I did for my first Rolex) - maybe “Snowball”?

And if you get the Black one, maybe “Ebony”?

I’ve never been into naming my things. A lot of people name their cars, guitars etc. I have a hard enough time keeping track of my kids names lol.

OP -- If you succeed in attaining your watch, and switching dials, would you consider it has 'new beginnings' then?
If so, look here.
(Just trying to help, smiling as I say that.)
Have a wonderful day!

Not the coolest thing to do but if I had to name your Explorer it would be Dora.

Hey OP

Additionally:
Here is a list of female explorers, many more first names to choose from:
