last time i checked, not all watches have nicknames, either. submariner date, submariner, milguass, yachmaster, yachtmaster ii, datejust, daydate, skydweller, explorer ii, daytona, air king.

well, i do remember a special person referring to the YM as "platty". i like that one.

Oh, I completely agree... was just being tongue-in-cheek. Frankly, I don't really like any watch nicknames. For some reason I find "Subby" quite irritating, even though most ADs use it themselves.

We should be grateful that Rolex actually name the watches in the first place, rather than just assigning a reference number like some other manufacturers
