But hey, its your watch, you name it you see fit, I'll call it the Submariner LV or 126610 LV and avoid silly nicknames.

I have a 16753. Black dial, gold nipples. Black bezel, gold markings. Is there a nickname for this watch? I can’t seem to find one. If indeed there is no nickname, I would like to propose the name Beverly Hillbilly (for those of you old enough to remember):-). I won’t comment on the Ellie May dial or the Batgirl (except mine is SS/Gold) bracelet. But I do think Beverly Hillbilly has a nice ring to it.
(Also, as an aside, has anybody mentioned the Clint Eastwood? I have read all of the posts in this thread, didn’t see it mentioned, but could have missed it).
I am going to revive this thread as it has been a week and nobody responded to my initial post above. I decided to take Oxfodian's advice below (even though it was in response to the nickname Starbucks).

So my childish nickname from my childhood for my TT 16753 with black/gold bezel and black/gold nipple dial will be The Beverly Hillbilly. But as stated in my initial post I will not be so childish as to refer to the dial as an Elly May. So everyone please feel free to use my childish nickname "Beverly Hillbilly" for a TT black/gold bezeled GMT Master. I won't copyright it :-).

I am really not a fan of any if I had to pick one it would be Bluesy.
