Why do some get triggered by Nicknames?

How are new Rolex admirers to be expected to memorize 5+ digit number combinations? Who has time for that (please reply if you have time for that) and is that time really necessary? In the end of the day if a nickname sticks, wouldn’t it make sense to just go with it?

Do these same people hate it when William is referred to as Will, or Bill?

batman is a nickname that the world seems to accept and it’s easy to remember. Now I can spend that extra time I would have spent remembering that BLNR is some French Swiss something or another with this series of numbers and use that time to stare at my Batman watch that much longer! Just seems to me like a big waste time.

Also the smug responses “ummm well rolex does not make superheroes” seems overplayed. In a perfect world maybe uncover the underlying issues on why your be frustrated with that because to be frank with you all, or should I say Franklin, the nicknames aren’t going away and they’re much easier to remember

Also I noticed the Rolex website acknowledged the Batman nickname for what it’s worth
