In all honesty you can call it the "Hello Kitty" edition and it would still be awesome.

Congrats on a beautiful watch.

Check out the outfit…all Blue and Black! This is soooooo funny to me. No one is hammering the all green Submariner for being called the "Hulk" but call this model a Rolex "Batman" and it's blasphemous! For the sake of harmony it's a GMT Master II as stated on the paperwork!

I was not the first to coin the name "Batman" and won't be the last. As I said…I love my Rolex GMT Master II!

Hey, now that we have listed all the known nick-names, we should choose the most popular among TRF readers, a definitive one from a special voting post, it would be the "TRF Registered Nicknamemark".
And once the result is known, we should stick to it.

When a watch can stir such joy, it's worth every penny.

Congratulations on a beautiful watch, by any name.

When it was announced at Basel 2013, there was a lot of disappointment, usually among people hoping for a return to previous bezel color schemes (Coke or Pepsi, if you will pardon the nicknames).

Time, I think, has shown that Rolex chose wisely. This is a great configuration, color wise, with traditional and contemporary elements.

I think it's a practical color scheme, too. We're I looking to buy a new GMT, I'd go for this one, too. Saw one at an AD in Beverly Hills (the Rolex boutique, run by Geary's). Liked it very much. I have other priorities, so I passed, despite the temptation.

Enjoy yours and I will vicariously enjoy your new acquisition...

I'd rather call it the Pan-Am now though, because it is directly related to its history and the dark blue insert color matches the company logo colour too, and also because I previously got scolded for using such a childish nick-name as Batman....


I'll have to agree. Calling it the Pan Am would seem appropriate if they were still in business.
