No. I'd rather tweeze my nipple hair than participate in a roundtable discussion about bezel nicknames.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the name, but it is what I heard the Rolex guys are calling it in Geneva. Maybe we can just all call them by the reference number / colors, wouldn't that be nice.

You can go on the Rolex website, type these nicknames in the search bar, and the exact watch comes up. Rolex, if it doesn't give these nicknames officially, they definitely adopt them.

I'll probably get attacked for this, but considering the history of Rolex and superhero nicknames, it seems fairly obvious to me what this one should be called.

Green Arrow.

These nicknames are so corny, to the point that they put me off on the watches. Like imagine someone coming up to you, pointing to your wrist, and saying “hey is that a sprite?”

In fifty years, by the fireplace:

Grandkids, come closer. Let me share the story of when I coined a nickname for a Rolex bezel. It was April 2024, a moment that forever altered history. While others were engrossed in advancing AI, self driving cars, and space exploration, I delved into my parents basement, rifling through the fridge and my old comic book collection, seeking a clue that would unveil the perfect moniker…

So picked this up last week from the AD.

Not sure what the name is outside of “spectacular” but I find the SS version a little boring

Don't think it's a good idea to generate some nicknames specially. If this combination of color deserves it will receive his nickname by time, not by community.

What about Shadow, I don't like, always think about this dog meme... Shadow relax

PS Cola Zero is nice btw.

Forum is for all of us, warts and all, much better when we all get on and not behave like the Twitter mob, full of spite and cynical people ..
