How did bluesy get its name?
I tried searching the www, but the closest I think I found was a user on here by the name of JJ who coined the term.

That is correct.
 That and “Platty".

It was known as 'the blue sub' for many years, an elegant name for an elegant watch.

I wish I knew. It's childish and cringe worthy.

I would prefer the SubLV to be called a Greensy because that model surely has a properly childish/cringe worthy nickname! |

A leg-end in his own life — which was far too short. He was a genuinely lovely man, and I miss him a lot. I was actually thinking about him today and then this post came up on my Tapatalk feed for some reason! JJ lives on in those of use who will contribute to remember him. Oh yeah, and I kinda like the name Blusey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JJ Irani was loved on this board but his untimely passing cemented him as a TRF legend! He was also a big YM fan.

JJ coined this, it’s a good name, the nicknames are useful and sometimes funny. The only nickname that might bother me is Batgirl. If I owned one and told another WIS what I had, they would know immediately.
JJ was an awesome guy!
