Have to agree, but such is life.

The GMT line has probably the easiest reference numbers to remember. Same 6 digits for the SS, 126710 then, just change out the colors BLRO, (blue/red) BLNR (blue/black) VTNR (green/black) etc etc.

Anyway, it is what it is and I get why for some the nicknames are just easier than using the reference and then denoting the bracelet.

I’ll put it to you this way my friend … if I’m buying a Rolex and there are two sellers with the same swatch at the same price … I’m buying the from the one who uses the reference number vs the “Bruce Wayne”
