Since it's (apparently) the hardest stainless watch to get through an AD...
And since it's got pretty significant wrist presence...
And since one needs to have at least some clout (or serious $$) to obtain one...

May I propose nicknaming it...

The BSD

I think it really is quite fitting, no

?

These nicknames are getting so contrived that it’s easier to just learn and use the proper names.

jsausley · 19 April 2019, 08:40 AM

It's blue.

Skydweller and Skywalker are kind of close.

Luke Skywalker had a blue lightsaber.

It's rare and coveted.

Therefore we should call it the Jedi Master.

I'm kidding, don't shoot me.

Why does it have to have a name?

Monte Cristo · 19 April 2019, 11:08 AM

Isn’t BSD just short for (B=blue, S= Sky and D=Dweller)?
Or am I missing something?

Yes and when you ask to buy one they give you the run around “BS’ed”

And no, I'm not referring to the "Bermuda Shorts Day" entry...

Haha! I’m in the minority I guess but love the nick names! I can’t keep up with 16643STD or 161040LD...I have to look it up every time!!

Tha Baron · 19 April 2019, 12:14 PM

I like it... BSD reminds me of the “Act as if” speech from the boiler room

mmmmp · 19 April 2019, 12:33 PM

I like SkyDweller. Doesn't have the 'elan' as, say The SMURF -God help me - but BSD is as good as any nickname.

I don't use 'em, myself but whatever makes ya happy.

Good thing Rolex gave them easy to remember names like Datejust, Sky-Dweller, Submariner, Day-Date, etc.

True, true! ...and even my fairly slow brain can keep up with those, but don’t act like you haven’t seen 1,000 posts with only numbers...

If only there was this thing that you could put numbers like that into and it would show you what they mean!

Names
Numbers
Nicknames

We all enjoy watches.

Dr. would "Skydwellerous Rolexis" be more to your liking?

HogwldFLTR · 20 April 2019, 12:41 AM

If the intent was BS'd I'd go with that over BSD. BSD is too close to BFD.

marc12 · 20 April 2019, 01:16 AM

I heard someone call it Superman because it is Blue/Red/White

Jonesy2099 · 20 April 2019, 01:21 AM

Let’s call it Watchy McWatchface!

Seconded ha

LuminousMaximus · 20 April 2019, 01:52 AM

I withdraw my, “second motion” because it could me misconstrued as the “BS Dweller”.

It needs to be renamed to something like Superman

There’s only one way to go forward Brian and that means you have to go thru...
