Just because a search engine algorithm matches a pattern to a web page doesn’t make it official. It’s not official until it’s printed on the page or in the catalog, but it won’t be, because it isn’t.

I know that, everyone else on the forum knows that, the OP knows that...of course it isn't an official name. The OP and others are just poking the hornet nest because it's fun to see people get so uptight about their watches and what other people call them.

They even have the watches you have to ‘SETTLE’ for because the watch you want is unavailable.

I don’t think they will ever label them as such. But they are searchable. Interesting.

Doesn’t mean the nick names are official Rolex or even recognized by Rolex. Really means rolex has a good search engine on their website

"Paul Newman" brings up a Daytona. Not surprising.

You mean the term "we have that in stock"

Why does a Jubilee bracelet make it Batgirl? :)
