Agreed bruiser is a terrible nickname and personally I'm not a fan of nicknames. But Padi, you seem to be the forum historian, how long did take for the terms Pepsi, Coke and Hulk to become accepted?

Picked mine up almost a week ago. Love it. Bruiser/Batman make sense to me, though I prefer Batman =).

The only name there that I would personally accept is Pepsi.

Everything else sounds too silly. What about "Kermit" for the LV? Do people still use that?

"Bruiser" is

but still not as absurd as "Batman," especially when there is already a Dark Knight 50 Fathoms.

So as terrible as it sounds I think some AD's are adopting the name

Manny, was she an attractive brunette in her late 40s?

I was there in January....she almost sold me one I didn't need... Good thing my wife walked in a few minutes later :)

I hope " bruiser" doesn't stick....

Just got mine this week. Already out enjoying the world with it.

Nycturbovr6 · 20 July 2013, 04:35 PM

I like it

I like to call it the "Batman Bruiser GMT-Eleven-C BLNR Day-Night." But, admittedly, that's a little long. So I sometimes I shorten it up and just use the acronym BBGMTIICBLNRDN. Much better.
