Who said that was named Darth Vader?

I call that the Ceramic Stainless Steel Daytona with black dial.

Sorry, I'm not a nickname guy, not a name your watch guy, not a name your car guy. Just call me no name.

hmm... i'm pretty sure with or without the nick name, he's enjoying his watch.

So I say to the OP, congrats and enjoy your watch, with whatever name you wish to call it

Congratulations. Looks great. For what it's worth, I always think I would probably prefer the white, but looking at that on you, it's stunning. Definitely keep that (and avoid potentially pissing the mrs off)....

I was on the list for a white, jumped on the black when it arrived first and so happy I did. The white pops more but the black is just so much more versatile and classic. Enjoy!

I think he is enjoying his watch and I think the nickname is evidence of that...

Yes, congrats on the watch as well! I have the same one.

I too motion to cease all silly names for the watches. Definitely cheapens things for me. You certainly never hear people call the Nautilus a 'Captain America'.

Being in Asia, I would think black was the more popular of the two. Either model is a winner.

The day your friends buy you a Daytona is the day they can have an opinion that counts....

Until then, enjoy your wife's present! :-)

For the record, I'm not really into all the watch nicknames either, but I like Vader a heck of a lot more than I like batman, kermit and hulk!
