My one has no nickname Phil.

I call it ‘fortunately’.

Everything doesn't need, or have a nickname. Some of the latest are downright stupid and have no true relationship.

However, the TT GMT has been called a Clint Eastwood for decades as he wore, and was known for, his 16753.

I might add this to my list of buying criteria going forward - “watch must have no commonly used nickname”.

I wish people would stop calling the white dial omega the Daniel Craig - he’s a brand ambassador and owns half of the omegas out there so there’s really no reason to.

With no nickname, this GMT has gone up in my list.
