With all the other silly nicknames why has "Daytona 500" not stuck yet for the new ceramic?

anothernewphone · 19 May 2016, 12:41 PM

I like the name 116500

TripleB Boston · 19 May 2016, 12:45 PM

I do like that. Good use of the 500. Clever.

Unfortunately it may be a little too literal. Gotta go with something a little more obtuse. For the life of me I can't figure out how Batman actually got any traction.

I can't see how it makes any sense -- looking at Batman logos does not make me thing "BLNR." If anything, the 116713LN is more "Batman."

This actually works for me (unlike most other nicknames).

I've called it Daytona 500 since its unveiling.
Daytona-C won't work since several PM Daytona's already had ceramic bezels.
I guess it could be a Daytona-SSC but that car class has been retired

Nicknames need to come about -vom- "organically". Otherwise it's trite and cheesy...

I like the "Daytona 500."

It really says everything about the watch that needs to said to distinguish it from previous SS iterations.

You just need to add a color.

I don't really like Daytona500 not sure why but 116500 is not bad or cc Daytona.

blcblc · 19 May 2016, 06:58 PM

I like Daytona C500. It's like a vitamin C, makes our body healthy

but bad for the wallet

GB-man · 19 May 2016, 07:21 PM

Daytona 500 is fine by me. It's quite obvious.

zion_rasta · 19 May 2016, 07:30 PM

I think a watch just got baptized.

THE DAYTONA 500

Love it!

dddl · 19 May 2016, 07:43 PM

Daytona 500 works for me too...
Now I just have to chase one down, though I am undecided on the color. I have several black dials so maybe a change is in order.
