Poll: Nickname for Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR
Yes, these nicknames are a bit over the top and maybe silly. I know some forum members love them and others love to hate them.

There are several floating around and thought it would fun to create a poll. Not sure this will be the end-all, be-all deciding point...just a place to capture sentiments.

Coke Zero is the dumbest one yet. I’d prefer the Dark Knight. Or Bruce Wayne.

Audemars Piguet has a Dark Knight already.

I think 126710GRNR or SS GRNR would be brilliant.

It will become quite popular, IMO. It’s a nice change from all of the colorful bezels. It deserves a nickname.

Do Patek or AP fanboys have the same discussions, or are new Rolex enthusiasts the only demographic keen to these nicknames? I don't wanna sound gate-keeperish, but I mentally draw the line at Coke, Pepsi, Smurf, Kermit. No "cookie monster," "ghost," "pikachu," "Bruce Wayne." This is getting hilariously out of hand.

Lighten up it’s a bit of fun, not everyone knows the reference numbers or just likes fun with the watches so a nickname goes with it, of course it’s daft - but seriously lighten up it’s just a bit of fun ..

Yes. It should be The Raider.

If not that, then Brittney Griner.

If it becomes a popular target for theft, Raider would be appropriate

Poll: Nickname for Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR
IN MY MIND It’s already the Coke Zero, so if Bruce Wayne wins out, I’ll be confused….

Coke Zero looks like where its settling. I know a local collector who have given creative nicknames to other professional models:
The Sea-Dweller Deepsea Challenge: The "Meg", for Megalodon
The new 18k Deepsea: Aquaman

I think MODS need to add " BAN OP " to the poll, which I am sure would be a clear winner.

All those nick names are stupid AF BTW. I been calling it the BLACK GMT or GRNR which is what it will be called.
