Thanks everyone. I've been a long tine lurker and have learned a lot by reading the threads. I felt this was a good first post. Better than the usual "Where can I buy a Rolex" or the various other complaints or showing off a "new purchase" post. I'm happy to finally register and join in on the conversations. ����

you can't go from superhero to villain with the new model. it has to be green lantern


...........or you can be a sane individual and refer to the watch as a green/black GMT

Why is a nickname so important? No one isn’t going to confuse “VTNR” with any other model. Unless you have a large demographic of extremely affluent preadolescence that are in the luxury watch market, nicknames feel very unnecessary.

I am not that old, I have kids that are not teenagers yet and they roll their eyes when I ask them if calling jewelry comic book names is weird. I first had to explain to them what a comic book was.

Have to agree some of these stupid nicknames more suited to 5 year olds than adults.

OMG please stop with the absolutely stupid nicknames. It is getting so bad. Maybe all the nicknamers should head over to the Swatch forums. You’d be better served there kiddies.

Thanks. I've been a long time lurker and waited till I knew enough of the terminology and model understanding before I registered and made a post. I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I've been reading this site for a few years. I hope to contribute in the fun. Thanks again.
