What is your favorite watch nicknames?
I know is cliché but Watch enthusiast like myself prefer the nicknames over the ref numbers.

I love my Starbucks sub. Lol.

Correct me if I wrong, I think the bluesy is the oldest Rolex nickname, really withstood time.

I think Bluesy is my favorite.

I like some nicknames. Some I find to be absurd. I think if a nickname comes naturally or is earned it just flows nicely. But when it’s forced it’s just awkward. Every new watch in the collection does NEED a nickname.

Funny thing is, I have a "Root Beer" but from a taste standpoint, I can't stand root beer— I like Coke. As far as the insert, I much prefer my Root Beer over a Coke or Pepsi. Not that I drink sodas anymore… It goes to eleven.

Rolli Rolli for sure...

seriously though I hate most all of the goofy little nicknames. It just puts on full display America's addiction to pop culture and brand names, etc...
