Sold my Smurf for the 126version and no regrets. Love the new dimensions. Also more sublime than my smurf as it had diamonds making more blingy.

I’d love to see the opposite (black bezel and blue dial). Probably new model here, but really the yellow gold blue!

Agree. Stupid nicknames is a bit of fun in a world that is just the opposite.

If the new Kermit is Cermit, why isn't the Smurf the Cmurf?

To answer the question, definitely Smurf!

The Kermit has an aluminum bezel. The Cermit has a ceramic bezel.

The 116619lb and 126619LB both have ceramic bezels. Calling the new reference a Cmurf wouldn't make sense since the 116619lb already had a ceramic bezel.

I know your comment was probably tongue in cheek, but do better. :)

Aye, Aye Capiton...I'll work on it ...yes, just sarcasm. Whether it makes sense or not, just about anything is better than calling a watch Cookie Monster; I don't mind nicknames, but that's the dumbest crap I've heard yet!

Cookie Monster all day! It's a little more subtle and dressier than the Smurf- I think blue on blue makes it sportier and calls for way more attention. I guess it depends on what you are going for and your current collection.

Can’t get behind the nickname, but I have and love this one. I loved the earlier all blue version but wasn’t in a position to buy one when they were in production. Both are great!

This is the best watch ever in my opinion. Most people don’t know what it is (yet) unlike the Smurf. And just looks better in general. And wears even better. Anybody daily theirs ?

Cookie Monster really what moron thought that up? I can't believe what is happening these STUPID nicknames gotta go. Maybe these guys should go play on Sesame Street.
