It's a 'Monster' rare big release being for lefties and the date position. My dad, who is a lefty and gave me his 1971 OMEGA Dynamic last year, is prob gonna cry when I give it to him. He earned it, big time!!!

It's the Riddler.

samson66 · 31 March 2022, 08:28 AM

Before it was even created people were calling it the Sprite. I'm pretty sure it's gonna stick.

100%.

I have been hearing SPRITE for a long time.

On a side note, the Riddler wasn't even a good character like Batman or the Hulk.

Pw92676 · 31 March 2022, 10:41 AM

This is a watch I just won’t be talking about period so any asinine nickname is fine by me :)

Bxtek · 31 March 2022, 11:39 AM

There is no official nickname as of yet apparently. Type in Sprite, Riddler, 7up into the Rolex website search and nothing. I'm sure as most of you are aware, that their website does recognize Pepsi, Batman and Batgirl. I guess you all have to keep checking back there to see which nickname won! Lol.

Yep

First nickname out of the gate usually sticks.

Personally would rather use the reference description but I realize most don’t.

Rolex.com doesn’t recognize “Starbucks” but I suspect they won’t support some other companies names on their watches.

Whatever ridiculous nickname it is given won't change the fact that it is horrendous looking.

MHB · 31 March 2022, 12:04 PM

Destro

tarmatimes · 31 March 2022, 12:12 PM

Sprite it is then

enjoythemusic · 31 March 2022, 12:17 PM

Umm, these are examples of green Sprite. It's me who thinks this first I bet, but I can't name a Rolex after these.

Call it the Castro since it's a leftist and green like his fatigues.

Thanks Chewbacca, Genius!

Love reading grown folks fight over the nickname of a watch...lol

Gab27 · 31 March 2022, 04:17 PM

If we're searching for silly nicknames, why not just call it the '24 hour Starbucks'?

X E L O R · 31 March 2022, 05:09 PM

Sorry… I’m going with Shrek! Much more fitting… it’s fug ugly

Why is it called the sprite mainly by those who are very childlike,and today Rolex watches have become little more than either ££$$€€ or silly nickname joke watches watches.

Worst nickname ever is “Bluesy”. Ugh.
Maybe people will call this the “Greensy”. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Nikrnic · 1 April 2022, 05:01 AM

Looks more a Joker than a Sprite or Riddler. It is a joke after all.

‘Sherk’…. Far more fitting as a nickname

In the UK and Sweden the Riddler seems to have been adopted. Haven't heard anyone call it The Sprite simply because it's not Sprite colours.

I hate using nicknames anyway. People should learn reference codes if they are serious about watches.

OG1982 · 8 April 2022, 05:25 PM

The first person to share a genuine incoming for this watch gets to name it forever more.

Anyone up for this?

Its only called the sprite by some that are either live in a childlike world of silly nicknames, or more likely to lazy to learn the correct reference numbers for Rolex watches.The Rolex brand now seems to becoming more of a micky mouse brand of watches. Don't recollect any other high end brand of watches where they use these comic book nicknames for there watches.
