what do you guys this as the new name for the GMT blue, i know weve been through bruiser, powerade, etc but alot of people are saying the shade of blue is exact to the submariner WG blue, and if thats the case, thats the daddy of all Rolex's so we should call this the smurf baby.

Let me know what you think

mikkibarry · 10 July 2013, 06:59 AM

Nooooo! When I hear "smurf" I want to smash it with a hammer. Terrible thing to do to a beautiful GMT.

Stebinners · 10 July 2013, 06:59 AM

I am buying one tomorrow... The one with the black dial thou... Swapping my sub for it

Agreed. If you ever get the urge to hit it with a hammer, give it to me for safekeeping https://www.rolexforums.com/images/smilies/dude.gif

Which one are you buying?

ufboy73 · 10 July 2013, 07:09 AM

tbh, i have found the whole desire to attach a name to this watch a little over the top....but baby smurf is definitely one i would not use for it

Does someone have the popcorn picture.

I think this thread is going to be fun to watch.

elev8w · 10 July 2013, 07:14 AM

I just refer to it is "GMT Black Blue" when discussing it. Its a watch I'd like to own sometime soon, and I'm having a hard time accepting "the bruiser" , "batman" , "the baby smurf" to begin with.
Maybe it should be BLOIR ("blar" for a mix of BLeu NoiR)

Its a tongue twister for me when i say it.
Looking back, i think im still not consistent in what i call it, but im comfortable with that - thats the whole idea and catalyst for the topic and conversations lol - its a brand new exciting awesome concept to us all, no? lol

elev8w · 10 July 2013, 07:24 AM

We're an important part of history, and its a great responsibility! lol
I mean we could have all been spending 8K on the 116610 Ninja Turtle, no?
Could you imagine people looking for a "mixed serial ninja turtle" a few years after we all die?

This is my contribution to the Rolex community, I want to be remembered for this: AND SO WE SHALL CALL HER THE SMURF BABY or baby smurf which ever rolls out easier for you guys

landroverking · 10 July 2013, 07:31 AM

That is one of the worst name ever for a GMT.

I think most of us called the TT Sub the smurf because we liked the TT bluesy so much more. I for one am happy Rolex ditched the smurf.

Tony-GB · 10 July 2013, 07:41 AM

Just call it the black n blue

or the B&B

tudorwatches · 10 July 2013, 07:49 AM

The Watch is a 116710BLNR... nicknames are sad..

c.rod · 10 July 2013, 07:52 AM

yeah, the AD looked at me funny when i walked in and asked him if i could molest batman......lol

Baby Smurf says NO, sorryyyyy

Jason71 · 10 July 2013, 08:40 AM

I will call it the "Bi-Color GMT". I think any name that can be attached to it will be nothing short of silly. Sorry......Baby Smurf, Bruiser, Batman........They are all silly and sounds as if we are in the 7th grade all over again.

Watchdog · 10 July 2013, 08:42 AM

Nope. Still waiting for the right one.

BI- colour GMT is already taken for the gold and steel ones

elev8w · 10 July 2013, 08:57 AM

BLOIR (promounced "Blar"/Blawr" .. rhymes with NOIR
