Horological Meandering

What's your favourite and/or in your collection (or both) nickname/AKA watch?

 

Hi all,

We all know that many watches have a nickname (or AKA - Also Known As) such as the Omega Speedmaster "Tintin", the Rolex "Batman/Hulk/Pepsi", the AP ROO "The Beast" and so on.

What is your favourite, the one you would like to own or you already have in you collection?

Below my AP RO Day Date 25572ST aka "The Owl" and the 5402ST aka "The Karl" which belongs to HSTE and that I had the chance to wear few months ago.

Thanks for your inputs and remarks.





Best wishes

Alkiro

Does it count if you give it your own nickname?

Your blackened RO reminded me of my DLC Vacheron Overseas aka Sea Shadow . The name was given when the watch was still in the project stage and comes from a US Navy stealth ship. It seemed consistent with the Overseas nautical theme. ...  

Nope for my nickname 😉

Very impressive Overseas. First time I see one like this. Very very cool. And its nickname "Sea Shadow" is well thought out 👍 Best wishes Alkiro

Aka Shake-O Samurai as there is no winding this automatic movement, you must shake the watch to start it. Cazalea ...  

Really cool! I knew "La Bomba" but not "Sharkie" 😉

Does it mean that the "missing part" on the dial has been bitten by a shark? Best wishes Alkiro
