I remember that. It was like watching an accident happen in slow motion.

That name reminds me of the cold and flue medicine called Oscillococcinum. They repeat the name something like 6 times in the ad (could be more) and people still won't remember it or spell it correctly (I had to google it). Imagine repeating that to a pharmacist, you may end up walking out with a completely different prescription

If your skin’s thick enough, call it whatever you want.

2018 DSSD (126660) Being Called, "BLUE WHALE", Like The Moniker?

I just don’t get it... D Blue is a ready made nickname and an official name at the same time.

I’ll concede that with other models nicknames are a shorthand way to refer to a watch. With the D blue it’s unnecessary and redundant not to mention a longer name which is the opposite of what a nickname is

It’s the first I have heard of it though. I doubt you can say blue wale and people will know what you are talking about
