•Updated• Rolex GMT Nickname Guide - Stainless Steel

[GrailTime]

The two tone version of the GMT with the black/grey bezel is the Guiness.

I would call this the Half Pint!

A Guiness, at half the price!

The updated list of nicknames for GMT Master II SS models is now:

126710 GRNR - Shadow (Black/Grey)
126720 VTNR - Sprite (Black/Green)
126710 BLRO - Pepsi (Blue/Red)
126710 BLNR - Batman [when on Oyster Bracelet] (Black/Blue)
126710 BLNR - Batgirl [when on Jubilee Bracelet](Black/Blue)

What is the 116710NR ? Same hands and dial as this new release.

There seems to be more excitement about the moniker than the watch.

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 ..

Yes they are ! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I really don’t get why there’s two nicknames for blnr just because of bracelet differences.

Correct. This is a deeply embarrassing thread.

[Parapraxis]

Lol shadow? No stop it.

Bruce Wayne or dark knight maybe.

Or just call it black and grey.

Agreed. Why aren’t there 2 names for the BLRO on oyster and jubilee? Idiotic.

And I love my Guinness, much more so than the new SS model. My opinion for what it is worth.

It doesn't at all. It's just the name of the watch GRNR

Yeah, someone tried that nickname with emphasis on "tried". The "Guinness" is the one that I believe stuck because of the black/grey bezel.

Still the best fit. The only one that relates to anything. There is nothing in common with an Irish beer and a wrist watch with the letters GRNR in the name.

Who is this? The world is not familiar with this person, must be a USA thing.. newsflash; there is a whole world outside of the USA.

Nicknames, if to be used at all are usually ubiquitous? Pepsi, Coke, Rootbeer, Guinness, Kermit, Batman, Smurf, Starbucks, Hulk, Paul Newman, Cookie Monster.. ubiquitous.

SD43.. self explanatory.

so embarrassing you opened a thread you knew you would hate, read it, posted on it oh the irony .. yes, very embarrassing ..

[Callmepeshy]

Nickname aside… what’s the consensus on the watch?

Personally not a fan, however I like it in the two tone version, and love it in YG.

Not a fan of the SS release as it’s just a bit bland for me and I like some more colour! Although appreciate that the Sub LN is very popular so would expect this to be too.

[OTX]

I dub this watch the GMT depression because when I get depressed, I see the world in gray and black.

[Mr. K]

My vote is Black Panther.

It doesn't really matter, a name will only stick after some internet influencer uses a name that non WIS folks follow. Then it will be forever known as that.

[Mr. K]

Do other watch brands go though this nickname thing as much as Rolex?

I know Speedy and Moonwatch, but that's about all know.

Omega has a couple, but not like Rolex for sure. None for other brands come to mind TBH. At least not for the brands I follow.
