Here's the thing.. i've noticed a lot of Rolex specially sports models have their own nicknames coined by Rolex lovers. example is the GMT Pepsi , GMT Coke, The Hulk, Batman, Platona etc etc... heck even the White ExplorerII has one & we call it Polar! But no love for the Rolex ExplorerII black dial

and i got to admit that i'm a little jealous lol!!! since this is my one & only Rolex. I decided to give its own nickname and hopefully one of these days it would just catch fire and people would just call it the Diet Coke

Agree or disagree? other nicknames or suggestions are more than welcome

Sorry, but that is as stupid as the rest of the nicknames.

Probably not. If someone doesn't want other's opinions maybe they shouldn't post on a PUBLIC forum.

What does that have to do with you being sorry or not?

Your opinion and wether or not you are sorry for it are unrelated.

Have to agree afraid today it seems with many that silly nicknames are far more important that the history of Rolex or the watches.

Nicknames.

Why not 'The Matthew Henson'?

RHJ · 29 July 2018, 06:00 PM

Firstly why Coke and why Diet?

BTW I think too these names are stupid

tyler1980 · 29 July 2018, 06:04 PM

the Hulk is the only one minus coke and pepsi that i would immediately know what you are talking about if i was not already familiar with the watches... the rest fill the need to have pet names for our possessions.

For example i always associate batman with black and yellow... not blue and black as do probably everyone else under 40 so its not universal like "Hulk" and not immediately apparent to everyone.

i just nickname the entire brand ALS... because my german pronunciation sucks

Its unfortunate it shares the same initials as a terrible disease though as talking about how awesome ALS is can be taken out of context pretty easily.

Well....technically it could also be ALUS - can't forget the 'und'

Brew · 29 July 2018, 07:49 PM

This thread is very timely. I was just wondering, "What IS 'the thing'?" And OP has the answer! My day is complete.

The Libertine · 29 July 2018, 08:29 PM

You own a Rolex. Forget the nickname and leave well-enough alone.

Rashid.bk · 29 July 2018, 08:40 PM

Really bro???? You've been around here more than a day. You honestly haven't seen the other ridiculous threads on this or maybe considered using the search function.
Because this is just completely absurd, with all due respect.
