Not quite sure how difficult this would be but I’m sure the admin here has the technology.
How about the model number rather than “ nicknames “ being set up as a list of links to the actual Rolex product.
It’s a bit of work I know but instead if linking to a page that might move then perhaps a file set in ones imaging account could be modified to suit.
Easy for me to say.

Thanks for this! It can be so confusing for a newbie!

[spdrcrbmw]

much appreciated!

[njlam]

Okay, I know there is a Batman (SS GMTII w/Oyster) and a Batgirl (SS GMTII w/Jubilee) with a similar Blue/Black bezel

I also know there is a Coke (SS GMTII w/Oyster) with a Red/Black bezel, a Root Beer (two tone GMTII w/Oyster) with a Brown/Black bezel.

So superheros and popular drinks, I get it.

However, with the Pepsi, are we talking about a GMTII with a Blue/Red bezel in SS or WG? Is it both?

I thought I say somewhere that the WG GMTII with the Blue/Red bezel was to be called the Superman to distinguish it from the SS GMTII, but I can't find where I saw it.

Anyone with insight on this. If they are calling the SS and WG versions Pepsi, wouldn't Superman be a cool name for one of the versions?
