Rolex recognizes nicknames on their official site

Just an interesting note, if you search for Hulk, Smurf, or Pepsi on the Rolex official site, they actually give you the results. I didn’t take Rolex for a brand that would officially recognize these nicknames but I’m pleasantly surprised

If Batgirl would have made the cut, I would have laughed my ass off.

Yeah, I noticed this a month or so ago when I searched for "Rolex Hulk".

Remember thinking - "smart".

Hope this means they mean to nip that dumb name in the bud.

They had ‘Superman’ for the BLRO a few months ago but that does not come up now.

It was quite an inspired nickname switch to be fair. The original Batman blue/black ceramic does have a kind of playful, cartoonish look about it. Then Rolex up the sparkle and elegance - what did they expect?

It’s not stopped some people unfortunately from continuing to use that awful name.
