Mixing a beautiful Guinness with anything seems monstrous to me…

If that's how you rationalize the nickname, then the GRNR is the Britney Griner. It literally spells her name.

This was once a discussion forum about the watches and history of the RWC, seems its now a silly nickname forum.

Dumb! People will compare it to Seiko’s Monster, “not that there’s anything wrong with that!”

It's pretty clear to me that the VTNR is the actual Gonster. From the green and black bezel it's very clear that the designers at Rolex used the Gonster drink as inspiration to design the VTNRs bezel.

Just talked to my AD and they confirmed that the VTNR is the Gonster and that the RONR will be returning to the catalog in 2025.
