I strongly dislike the soda and comic book nicknames. All of them. Seems juvenile to me, but some people don’t understand reference numbers I guess.

I don't like the nickname at all. I don't currently own any watches on a jubilee band, but I don't consider it feminine versus the "masculine" oyster band.

I like the nicknames and i already call the jubilee BLNR as Batgirl .
It is more easy to say Batman , Pepsi , Hulk , Rootbeer or Kermit then BLNR , BLRO , something LV or BLA BLA ... what ever... |

Said this before, batgirl is sexy like the new watch. Plus Batman would not wear jubilee.

Is it more childish to call it a nickname or to be bothered by others doing so?
To close to call but I promise not to start a poll top find out. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

The influencers have spoken: it's Batgirl. What 100 people on TRF think about it does not matter.

Please don’t call it a Batgirl.
Please don't call any ROLEX a Batgirl...well, maybe a 26-31mm DJ w/ a blue dial. It's a silly name for a nice watch.
If anything, call it The Old Bruce Wayne as the Jubilee is an unwritten requirement for moving into a florida retirement community :) |

They already reached rock bottom. It’s just when they got there they kept digging.

Perhaps an auto delete for these silly names?
It amazes me how many grown man are so immature but lot of trolling as well I guess.

Very well said Padi. I too unfortunately wonder the same thing every time I log in. Not only childish but in this case inflammatory nonsense.

i want to come up with some witty quip about Bane and being born into darkness but my coffee isn’t kicking in yet.
i don’t really dig batgirl, but what would be a decent alternative? catwoman? (cue anne hathaway in that suit. lordt.)

Since when is a Jubilee bracelet exclusive to girls or women? Dumbest moniker I have ever heard

Why not just Batman on jubilee?
Kinda like in the ‘80s & early ‘90s there was the (Porsche): Turbo and Slant-nosed Turbo. Both incredible, but one was just ... more! The “Batman” and “The Batman on jubilee.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

All I know is that I prefer the look of the oyster to the Jubilee on the BLNR. As for the nicknames, I’m not really a fan of any of them.

It is still BLNR, Blue/Black or Batman, if that is what you prefer. I don't think it is any different because of the bracelet change. The Pepsi or BLRO is the same whether on jubilee or oyster--we just use the reference number or the denote the material (ss vs white gold). "Batgirl" seems to have a connotation of disdain. As someone who has owned both (previously on oyster and currently on jubilee) I think that they are both beautiful watches. Neither is more masculine nor feminine than the other--just a different look. Remember, the GMT on jubilee has historic roots. Nobody ever thought it looked like a "girl's watch" before.

Applying a feminine name to a men’s bracelet makes no sense whatsoever. Calling a 40mm men’s professional watch “girl” anything is patently ridiculous.
Stupid is as stupid does. Time to retire the stupid batgirl nickname. |
