Give me a break. So what is common with BLRO and Pepsi? What is common with BLNR and Batman? What is common with VTNR and Sprite? I'll give you a hint - the color of the bezel. The majority of the world haven't a clue who Britney Griner is. The majority of the world does know what Guinness is. And the black/grey/gold colored bezel on the TT/gold GRNR matches the Guinness nickname quite well - if you're into nicknames.

Forum is for all of us, warts and all, much better when we all get on and not behave like the Twitter mob, full of spite and cynical people ..

If the band were American the Jub would be called Shirley, after Pepsi and Shirley, the UK girl band made up of the Wham girls and Shirley married Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet, the Kemps are all over UK TV now, but the nickname has to appeal to the Americans to gain any traction.

Two things, Nipple Hair and Diet Pepsi make this thread. So funny!

As far as the Rolex website recognising the Monica's, it is a business in the game of selling watches, not a religious sect.

The green Seamaster is called Seaweed master. I thought it was perfect.

That's what I call mine. This nickname came up shortly after the watch was introduced last year - that is, if you're into nicknames. BTW, love mine as well.
