Anyone hate the term/name "Bluesy"?

[EagleArmsHBAR]

It sounds so dumb to me and every time I read it, I imagine something like this happening in real life.

[underpar]

I can't stand any except Coke and Pepsi.

[Zsprings]

Agee,... I find all made up names for watches dumb, especially 'kermit'.... It just puts me off wanting to buy a 'kermit'!
Truth is, I only like the red and blue bezel insert.

[101031-28]

Agree. I cannot stand the name. Any of them really except for Pepsi.

[JayHantz]

I have never been a fan of nicknames, I would rather refer to them by reference number.

[brandrea]

Nicknames in general aren’t my favorite. To each their own.

[JSolution]

Same for me strangely Pepsi or coke are the only ones that don’t sound embarrassingly silly. If I was wearing a YG sub and someone came upto me and called it a bluesy I would die from cringe

[CorgiKCD]

Yes. I hate it.

[alphadweller]

I don't have a problem with it. Whatever.

[Turbo Racer]

Not a big fan of this nick name. Or the soda pop ones either tbh. I do like the Sophia Lorraine >>>fat lady, steve McQueen, Paul Newman , and John Mayer only because they give them some sort of pinache as they are all icons imho. I think just a few pieces warrant these nicknames and now that just about every model has a nickname, it kind of waters down the meaning. Imho, new Daytonas with the Newman dial are not Paul Newman Daytonas etc. ymmv

[GradyPhilpott]

Even before the massive proliferation of nicknames, "Bluesy" was very awkward sounding to me and I couldn't bring myself to use it.

Is it me, or has the horde of speculators and nicknamers diminished somewhat around here?

[Goin2drt]

Can't stand any of them. Really makes the whole brand very childish to include the soda names as well.

[Sick Mother]

Always hated it. May be the worst.

[LFFL]

I'm curious how that name actually gained any traction, and eventually stuck

[HHIslander]

It's the oddest nickname. I also hate it.

[Chewbacca]

I’m indifferent. But I believe it was coined by a now departed member here or some original members, and it prob made sense at the time as with most natural older nicknames where there wasn’t always a fictional superhero to reference.

[2nastie]

I hate all the nicknames, but this one isn't the worse lol

^^
Exactly.

[Solo118]

I only tolerate it because JJ made it happen. Otherwise would not even care for it.

[Swearengen]

It's one of the few nicknames I like

[aayates]

I love all the nicknames, and hope Rolexes become nothing more than $$$ / pd pd pd/ investment items.

[TexEd]

I'm indifferent...there are other more important major world problems than nicknames for watches.

[Vesper Lynd]

I don't care, I never name them by their nicknames, I name them by their reference number.

[garyk]

The dumbest one of all is calling a watch with rings on the dial, Panda..

[Rentalcarman]

I am not big on the names like "cookie monster" and "kermit"; however, I can't remember the model numbers to save my life, but if someone mentions one of the names, I know exactly which one it is. So, in that sense, I can deal with the silly names. It doesn't detract from it being a Rolex at all to me.

[TheDon2000]

Out of all of them, Bluesy is the worst.

[Tim Plains]

I don't mind bluesy. Kermit, cermit, batgirl, batman are all dumb.

[Cru Jones]

Every time I think “Bluesy”, I think JJ….

Uh-oh. Careful, you’ll upset some people. ;-)

[G23Guy]

All the names suck.

[Mifune]

I prefer lunette bleu
