I'd buy one and throw on the Oyster bracelet. Seems I wouldn't have to wait long if everyone else hates it...and maybe I'd even get a discount

Green is my favorite color so if they made that I would replace the batman with it.

Surprised by all the negative comments about this, especially on a forum that obsesses over the BLNR and LV watches.

I won't expound further other than to say the man soon left, and rather embarrassed.
Actually. Your AD sounds anything but professional. Sounds like an insecure man that attempts to make himself sound more important by embarrassing others.

What he could have said:

I am sorry sir, we try and not use the nicknames here and prefer to use the reference names. I believe you mean xxx reference. Is that correct?

I agree with you that it was handled poorly. His "reaction" did take me by surprise, and later he told me how sick he was of the constant daily inundation of walk-ins and phone calls looking for the hard to get models, and their constant reference to the nicknames. (Again, he does not like the nicknames, but that is just who he is. Sort of an "inflexible" type.)

Knowing him for a long time, the reaction sort of startled me at the moment. At first I thought he was joking, but then realized he was a bit put off. Later on after thinking about it, I wondered if this was simply on his part due to the daily stress. That could account for the poor reaction on his part. I guess anyone, no matter their level and experience, can go sour about certain things.

You know what's more cool than nicknames? People who use colored text and larger font...

I too ask "why not pink and orange!"? It makes perfect sense to just grab ugly colors and throw them on the dial like this Instagrammer did.
