How about just GREEN GOLD DIAL SUB?

And we all hope and pray that that DIAL is actually 18K Green Gold!!

No disrespect to Rolex, but I rather like the color and the name.

I don't like the use of nicknames either. And use of the term "Rollie"? That just drives me crazy.

I don't like "the hulk", but it is waaaaay better than "kermit" for the 16610LV. I think LV-C is just fine. I normally don't use the nicknames, just like I hate the term Rollie.

When my c-LV eventually lands...

(I refer to my 116710 as a "GMTII-c" but I prefer "c-LV" for some reason..... )





It'll be called simply "sex on my wrist".

Have to agree especially things like Rollie, Subby,Platty Blusey, and all the rest of the childish names. Just cannot understand why they cannot just call them by the correct name that Rolex gave them.I would doubt if they would walk into a AD and ask for a Platty Rollie, Subby Rollie, Bluesy, or a Hulky, or any other childish name, other than the correct name, or model number for that watch.

too late

Its too late to get rid of the nickname. the media are using it already. I have seen afew articles in holland in respected magizines (one of which is a watch mag) which refer to it as the 'hulk'....
does it really matter????

Apparently they can't put 2 colors on a ceramic bezel so there will never be a "Spiderman"

Where there is a will there is a way. If Ulysse Nardin can create the Jaquemart Circus Minute Repeater I have utmost faith that Rolex can find a way to create a semi-color ceramic bezel (Fingers Crossed). When that happens I will gladly call the GMT "Spider-Man" after I acquire it. Childish or not it's all in good fun .
