Nick, based on your Avatar, maybe it should be called the KFC!

Agreed though, PepC seems to fit the bill perfectly!

If it was in SS I would go with Rolex's BLRO, but as its in WG I think we should have some fun with this piece and slap Rolex back, so I say PepC.

PepC is the perfect name (but perhaps not so clear when spoken).

Do these watches really need nicknames? I'm not sure. Having said that, I have been known to refer to the DSSD as 'the beast'. If people are really searching for a ridiculous nickname, I would have suggested 'Superman', but someone beat me to it. Otherwise WG GMT IIc BLRO? I doubt anyone who posts here regularly wouldn't understand that!

This whole nick naming really gets me. We should have a written rule against it. Lol

Agreed. If a nickname really is necessary, how about calling it the "Juan Trippe?" That's a good reference to PanAm and also that acknowledges the fact that a regular line pilot would be a bit foolish to spend so much on a watch. This is priced for the Captains of industry like Mr. Trippe who built the airline.
