The beauty of the Rolex brand is that establishes a connection between watch and customer, which often lends itself to a nickname for the brand itself. So lay off the OP, guys...

Thank you London_v.....well said.

The Flash.

I don't know how we can call the LVc the Hulk and not notice that the Milgauss is the Flash.

Great point. Flash fits the super hero theme perfectly.

Agree..then there could be "white bolt, black bolt and blue bolt" to cover the different Milgausses.

In Australia a Mercedes is a "Merc"
We even have a local rock band called 'Thirsty Merc"

A Rolex is just a Rolex though.
The fundamental things apply..as time goes by!

cjrdude · 19 August 2015, 08:11 AM

careful what you ask for... is there a worse nickname than "smurf"?

smurf is a lame nickname for such a beautiful watch

Jazz Boy · 10 July 2021, 10:25 PM

The Rolex nicnames shall be specific to one color-setting.
The white Milgauss should have its own name.
I think Flash Gordon is the best name, in style with other watches nic names.

"Insane Bolt", fastest watch out there.

Call it a Rolex Milgauss. It’s actually stamped on the dial…stupid nicknames
