Nick name your Rolex

We have had splendid suggestions for nicks for the various Roles model. For example Astcell's "Pizzamaster II"

I can suggest "May-Date" for the Day-Date because of its long-distance signalling *bling-bling* effect.

Or the German "Milchstrauss" for the WHITE dial Millgauss (milk + bunch of flowers).

Or again the (sorry, German) "Submadiener" for the Sub Date (would mean something like "sub-waiter").

Please invent some more!

Should add that this thread is only meant as a totally UNsincere "playing" thread. So any funny, intelligent nicks with a good punch to them would be lovely.

The "Kermit" is one of the best ones I have seen. But the "Pizzamaster I" is a goodun, too. It captures the whole socalled "style" of the watch very well.

So keep postin'! Anything goes

The new YMII can be named after this guy. It is fitting.

Ah, yes.....the "Clownmaster II". Funny thing is that this clown also reminds me of the uncanny clown from the movie based on Steven King's "IT". Gives me the shivers :

.... As does the watch!

That's Rolex's way of displaying all their watches -- in one watch.

Not QUITE true, but you're halfways there. I would say:

If that's what we can expect.... please pass the RADO catalog.

RADO catalogue? Again more than halfway true since Rolex already uses ceramic parts (bezel on the GMT II and Clownmaster II). Really depressing


In ten years, we will YEARN to get back the "Pizzamaster II" if this carries on
