Icon4 Urgent Advice -

Only You Can Stop the Spread Of Stupid Nicknames for Beautiful Watches!

Just Say NO to "batgirl"!

Whenever you see the Proper Name: 126710BLNR with Jubilee Bracelet referred to as batgirl simple repost and add the proper name and this picture of batgirl!

I don’t mind nicknames on occasion, but...BATGIRL IS RIDICULOUS!!
For the love of......PLEASE STOP


All nicknames should stop. No one went crazy when the “hulk”, “Batman”, “Kermit”, “Root Beer” etc etc came out. It’s ridiculous across the board. Remember when the “Batman” was called the “Bruiser”? Just as dumb.

We either all make an effort to stop with the dumb nicknames. If Rolex wanted to call their BLNR anything but that, I am sure their marketing department can deliver much more creative ideas on the names

In the end it just comes down to how you feel deep inside. Personally, I don't see a reason for both and much prefer the batman to the batgirl anyway

I say buy it and sell decide which one to move on. If you're feeling generous, you could try to arrange to sell to an enthusiast on here or a friend. I'd be careful with that idea to make sure they aren't going to flip it.
