Unexpected "newbie" Rolex question
By: MTF : September 19th, 2014-02:15
Dear Rolex forumners, I've been collecting watches "for a while" but am a newbie when it comes to Rolex-speak. What is a "Bruiser" and what has it got to do with "The Batman"? One sounds like a gangster and the other is my dark knight. I assume they are n...
I look at it like this.....

.....the Rolex GMT is dominated by two colours black and blue. It is true that Batman used to wear a lycro skintight suit coloured with black and blue. Some would say that he wore his underpants on the outside of his trousers. Some would argue that this i...
Grey and Blue

That brings up another question

I am happy for your "find" as it gives you such pleasure. ; ) Who gets to chose the nickname for each new model? There are so many Rolex collectors and websites. For Chopard, it was easy for me in the old days being a lone ranger to make up "stories" . :-...
MTF, we're going to have to talk.

I don't know any of the Chopard nicknames! (But don't tell anyone -- would be too embarrassing!) Best, CaliforniaJed
Very nice pics of the Bruiser!

I only have a vintage Rolex from my late dad. Whenever I want to get a modern Rolex, it will be the Bruiser! :) Thanks for sharing these lovely pics. Cheers Robin
