IDK, I think everything is about balance and building a relationship. and I do agree with Padi that reference numbers are important.
When I meet a new SA, I probably end up using a combo of Model names (GMT-Master II), reference (126710BLRO) and nickname ("Pepsi") throughout the course of a long conversation. For example: "I love the GMT-Master II line... the BLRO 'Pespi' is my favorite.... the thinner lugs and 3285 movement upgrade on the 126710 vs. 116710 was a nice change... I prefer the look of the aluminum color bezel of the 5-digit Pepsi vs. 6 as they can't quite get the colorway right". yada yada yada... |

If you're not interested in jewelry or building a long relationship of watches, probably better to go secondary market with a trusted seller here. You'll have the watch in a day at your doorstep. |

Just ignore these snarky geriatrics! They refuse to acknowledge that everyone calls them by their nicknames because they do not like usingh nicknames. I just got the VTNR and my AD left a message and said "your Sprite has come in"!

I’m personally indifferent to the use of nicknames. But it’s kinda sad that some get so bothered by this. Life’s too short to spend getting worked up over something so trivial. Oh, and congrats on your new GMT! |

It's funny, because Rolex doesn't market the nicknames at all. The people create them, they stick, and become engrained in the vernacular very quickly, and with staying power.
The nicknames are some of the best advertising Rolex can buy, and they didn't have to buy a penny. Just sit back and let it grow on its own. |

You definitely buy the seller. How much of a premium that you want to pay is up to every buyer’s own thought process. |

Who cares to remember all numbers and letters, just tell them what you want, your ask, your choice, just like their respond: their store, their choice.

The BLNR on Jubilee is a watch I'm quite interested in as its one I've never owned but the Batgirl nickname rather puts me off.
