"Batman" "Pepsi" "Hulk"???
All three of those nicknames are associated with the Rolex GMT. So what's the nickname for a GMT with an all black bezel?

Yes, you're correct. So how do people refer to the black GMT?

Maybe the "midnight"? As in the time of the night, because it's being used by someone somewhere in the world to gauge a time zone?

Meh, worth a shot.

I call it "The Green Arrow," because it has a green arrow.

But I'm pretty much alone on that one...

It gets called the GREEN LANTERN a lot - I agree it's the best GMT by far and the most versatile Rolex sports watch
