Since Rolex is on board with nicknames, the new Sea-Dweller could be called...

Ironically, Rolex must have talked to her a while ago...try the search term on their site. All the be-diamoned models come up - and 3 pages of them...

Are you saying that because Rolex recognizes that folks use silly nicknames and enables searching via those names they're onboard with it? Even though they don't mention the nicknames anywhere in official or unofficial media? Sounds to me like they just accept the fact that some folks use them. As soon as Rolex calls a model by it's fanboy nickname I'll be onboard with it.

No. I'm saying if you'd read posts 19 and 20 you'd see that your question was utterly pointless.

Fair enough. I wasn't satisfied though. Once a nickname discussion gets started it takes on a life of it's own. I'm a bit douchey about my dislike of nicknames.
