Taking the BL and NR from the GMT BLNR.

in the power tools / electronics world, black is usually represented by the letter K. Even in printing CMYK color system, K = black.

But then BBK doesn't sound too good.

If you read the original post, its more of abbreviations for posting and not literal nicknames like Batman or Hulk!

In CMYK printing the K stands for Key as it is used to ensure correct registration of the subsequent colours. It just so happens that the key colour is usually black as it provides the best contrast for registration.

👍👍

I think the demand will all be the same after the hype slows down. Again a masterful job of marketing by Rolex/Tudor. Timing this release with the Phillips Only Watch auction and the release of a few watches with an in house movement.

For the black bezel, how about we steal omega's thunder and call it the Dark Side of the Bay?
