Not a fan of nicknames. After the reveal my first thought was what will people call it. Maybe the "Neutron"

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.

There's already a well established name. It's been called this for maybe 6 months now.

This Bruce Wayne, whoever he is, must some sort of Bruce Lee or Bruce Willis of the New Era. Or actually someone more famous in some circles if he’s earned a Rolex watch’s name.

I honestly did not know who this Bruce Wayne guy is. Had to google him. Ya pass on that. Rolex watches are for the whole world and that won’t work!. I’m sure I’m not the only one who hasn’t heard of him.

Nope, you can easy check it by yourself, just search for `Bruce Wayne` on rolex dot com – no, its not the name for that bezel.

Rolex does not officially recognize any nicknames.

With all due respect, I own the TT GRNR (since June of last year) and this is the first I have heard of the nickname "Bruce Wayne". When the TT and gold versions were first released at WW last year I heard of other potential nicknames such as the Brittney Griner and Guinness but never Bruce Wayne. The one that I believe stuck and is the best nickname from my perspective is the "Guinness". This is because the black/grey/gold bezel matched the look of a Guinness beer. In fact, the same website you posted above also referred to it as the Guinness long before they referred to it as the Bruce Wayne.

I have no issues with the newest model being having the nickname of Bruce Wayne, just not the TT or gold versions.
