New Black/Grey GMT nickname. “Stormy”?
126710 GRNR GMT Master II

I’m not a user of nicknames with other WIS but I have a lot of friends that know some of my watches and use the nicknames.

I know that this will get one form someone.

It’s a stormy day here and they sky looks like the new dial. It made me want to buy this watch even though I already own GMTs , so there it is.

Go ahead and hate!

Still rooting for the Kevin Conroy. Color combo matches his nighttime attire.

My vote would be for the “Lego Batman” - from the movie line “I only work in black - and sometimes very very dark grey”. Somehow seems fitting!

To keep with the soft drink / GMT taxonomy (with the exception of the Zombie), my vote is Coke Zero.

Coke-Zero has switched colors to Black/Red lately!

Not sure I get "Coke Zero," as the color scheme for that soft drink is black and red?

We should probably have a poll for the nickname, as another person had suggested "Penguin" to riff off of the super hero names that seem to have crept into Rolex pop culture, LOL.

Ablogtowatch is calling it "Bruce Wayne" in its articles.

I've got a Coke zero here in front of me and it's: aluminum, black, red, white, cold, sweaty, and bubbly.

Bruce Wayne makes more sense if I had to choose....dry, plain, soft spoken, understated, and rich.

Whenever I see GRNR I think of Guns and Roses.

But I'll just call it the GRNR when I type or the black and grey GMT II to my AD when I'm telling her I don't want that one but thanks anyway I'll wait for the black and blue.

I understand the Coke Zero reference due to those disappointed by there being no "Coke", but I suspect the "Bruce Wayne" will stick, time will tell. I'm okay with nicknames. Cheers!

LOL. It was a joke, but people click on “nickname” threads and then lament nicknames. Forehead palm plant indeed, and launch a full spread, Mr Worf.

It’s like saying you can’t drink alcohol so all of the bars need to be closed because you can’t stop yourself from walking into them.

Looking forward to whatever name sticks. Maybe this new color combo was created by Rolex to foil these nicknames.

Calling AD:

HI, I am interested in a Bruce Wayne....

HI, I am interested in a Coke Zero....

So lame and cringe. Anyone who calls an AD with any of these nick name lines wont be getting one. I just talked with my SA about this yesterday. He said anyone that calls and asks for any of these new watches by calling it a stupid super hero name or anything will have to buy 50k worth of jewelry to be put on " the list ". haha.

Bruce Wayne is a lame nickname. And it's unrelevant!

If that's the case, I think Dark Knight is better. If the American comic version of Batman is BLNR, GRNR is the live-action version of Batman's Dark Knight.
