I hate all of the stupid nicknames

Dr.Brian · 26 May 2022, 12:45 PM

It reminds me of JJ, so it gets a pass.
The other ones are all dumb.

Batman is dumb too

Dr.Smellody · 26 May 2022, 01:31 PM

All the nicknames are dumb. I'll take model numbers.

AlbionJackal · 26 May 2022, 04:59 PM

Yes... but only for footballing reasons.

Gmt+10 · 26 May 2022, 05:25 PM

I think it's cheesy.

Smurf_75 · 26 May 2022, 05:34 PM

I don't mind Bluesy or the majority of the other nicknames.... However, Cookie monster is awful. It's by far the worst and most cringey

Embarrassing hearing people use them

My other hate is people referring to their watch or car as ‘she’ or ‘her’.

In the West Country. "It" is pronounced "him".

Oxfordian · 26 May 2022, 05:48 PM

Never understood why a watch has to have a nickname, I can just about get the Pepsi or Coke idiom but everything else……….?

padi56 · 26 May 2022, 05:49 PM

Not a fan of todays nicknames but dont mind the term Pepsi or coke for inserts on the aluminium GMT range.

mikkemus23 · 26 May 2022, 05:52 PM

It’s just for humor, no place for hate in the watch community

Blusey also reminds me of the late great JJ

HogwldFLTR · 26 May 2022, 05:53 PM

Three pages in and not a single member has referred to the watch by its Rolex given name, 126613LB. I can tell that everyone prefers the Rolex name.

JJ Irani’s watch was nicknamed bluesy. Mine is my 16613.

16613 is the original Bluesy if there was to be such a thing.

Therefore the 11/126613LB should be BlueC..

I'll get my coat. I dont even like nicknames.

Actually it's the 116613BL in my case. Please see my post #40 in which I refer to my "116613LB". I don't call it the 126613LB because it isn't a 126613LB, it's the 116613LB.

Well it mainly refers To JJs 16613 blue dial sub and my favourite in the TT range.

A nod to JJ and his love of his favorite Rolex. After he coined it, it took off. If you don’t like it just don’t use it. .The only ones I use are Coke and Pepsi and PN Daytona.

Yes, there have been different iteration but to date the current one is my favorite.

If I didn't have the 11 I would be drooling over the 12. Assuming I could find one to drool over!

You have never used a nickname on TRF for a Rolex model.

But you did post this classless reply in a thread.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...16&postcount=6

Way worse than using nicknames for a watch?

Yes, JJ called his 16613 ‘Bluesy’ and the name stuck……so?

This whole thread was worth it to remind us of JJ and his Bluesy! Brilliant!!

Who cares. It will pass.

vesnyder · 26 May 2022, 10:39 PM

I am not a fan of the nicknames either but I can remember those a lot easier than I can remember the reference numbers. I suspect that is why they stuck.

NachoNeal · 26 May 2022, 11:41 PM

On a scale from one to ten, I'm at a level zero with how much I care about these silly nicknames.

DJ2020 · 27 May 2022, 12:36 AM

Nope, not a fan of nicknames at all. Prefer sub/date w/ blue dial and bezel or reference number. I hear Bluesy, Kermit, hulk I'm thinking Invicta.
