I'm sorry, but you can't use or say that....
....its Rolex's registered trademark:
Rolex Oyster (be careful what you order at your next seafood bar) Cerachrom Cosmograph Crownclasp Datejust Day-Date Daytona (they might have a problem with this one) Easylink Everose Explorer (those who actually explore will now be referred to as wanderers through the wilderness) GMT Ice GMT-Master Goldust Jubilee (didn't Queen Elizabeth have one of those a few years ago?) Milgauss Oysterclasp Parachrom Paraflex Pearlmaster Perpetual (Einstein is rolling over in his grave right now) President (anybody notify Obama yet?) Ringlock Rolesium Rolesor Rolex DeepSea Rolex Glidelock Rolex Royal Black (that's a new one on me) Rolex Royal Pink (I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there) Sea-Dweller Submariner (let's see you sell this idea to the US Navy) Tridor Triplock Turn-O-Graph Twinlock Yacht-Master Yacht-Master Regatta It seems the only trademarked, copyrighted, homogenized, blended, protected word they didn't include in this list is UNOBTAINIUM, which is the material that most Rolex watches will be made from after their next round of price increases.

Odd... I don't see Bluesy, Rollie, Kermit, Hulk, Batman or Bruiser on the list. Why would a company like Rolex not readily adopt such mature, elegant and distinguished sounding nicknames for their timepieces?
Google "ROLEX BATMAN" and see what comes up.

Where is it?
That they monitor these terms/words?
I'm being sincere in my question. |

I still don't understand under what circumstances the queen mother at Rolex can forbid someone from using one of "their" terms.
I've seen thousands of sales or auction offerings and had a dozen or so of my own where those terms were used in reference to Rolex watches or parts and don't recall any ill effect, unless total loss of memory of the event is one of them. Is this something along the lines of the Cartier and use of Tank as a descriptor for other makers watches situation? |

This is obviously not serious. Not how trademarks work.

Probably like the word Superbowl is registered with the NFL, and if you use it with out paying the proper license fee, they will shut you down.Thats why you will hear a lot of companies use the phrase "Big Game"

Although I'm not a fan of it I always thought that Rolex also made the word cyclops and if so it should be on the list as well.
