Icon10 New Chrono nicknames.

In HK, the new BB Chrono is being dubbed the "Baytona"

You can't get Daytona yet, so get this while you work on that dream.


Any other nicknames for the new issues? Interested in what you all come up with.

No, that's too generic.

Any reference to the Daytona is more of a wannabe insult than nickname. Panda and Reverse Panda are nickname enough.

And lets just hope another silly nickname for watches stays in HK.

The universally recognised nicknames, of which there are relatively few outside places like this forum and associated preening Youtubers, tend to be established organically over years and remain long lived. You can't force nicknames. It doesn't work like that. Silly people try to, but they just look silly.

We are very creative here in Hong Kong! Especially when it comes to „sorry no stock / Notona“ whilst the grey market dealer just collected his pieces from the same AD and left through the side exit...

Baytona makes sense and has a good ring to it.

Always amusing to see how watch names get people’s panties in a bunch. Some seem to have no self discipline or restraint.

They don't know HK is the wildest Daytona market in the world and likely responsible for the astronomic rise of the SS models.

Waitlist ~10 Years = don't come back until you buy diamonds.

Hey, HK ADs charge grey prices for the honor of getting one at the AD.

Rolex isn't stopping them.

Wait until that starts to happen in US, gratuity swipe. LOL.

Haters gonna hate, they have too serious of a job to do right?

Yeah I mean FFS, it's ok to name watches after muppet babies and marvel & dc characters.

copyright strike? lol.
