Yes. It's just tags in the Rolex website and good SEO to avoid cached versions of old tags for watches that are no longer in production. Pretty straightforward website hygiene. The marketing department are earning their keep as usual. Rolex are rather good at marketing.

Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with all the other nicknames and I used them often, but this one was intended as a DISS and brings gender to the mix -- the others DO NOT

Do you like bat chick more? I’m comfortable with that

Social Media has really pushed the nicknames over the top. The nicknames were known but nobody went out of their way to use them pre internet.

Maybe Batwoman would be better.

How about Batperson?

What if the watch decides to be gender fluid?

What about just the very simple and easy to learn the correct watch reference 126710BLNR.

He did retire but is still part of the show since he can call in and broadcast from his house due to Covid.
Stephanie is a vet tech in Vegas but they don't have their own clinic yet.
