Hi Christian, reading through the discussions, IMO you are correct that for certain Patek references, especially your 5960 (black and red), a catchy and appropriate nickname is warranted ! Rolex should ....

share such “privilege” with Patek.
Given the various comments by others, I feel that Patek deserves more than the name of a cocktail or drink. What about a famous character from the comic books !!??
Since Rolex has the Batman (black and blue for GMT Master II), your (black and red) 5960 can be “Deadpool” !! LOL !!
Your thoughts??

The Black Velvet...

Christian, this drink was first created by the bartender of Brooks's Club in London in 1861 in memory of Prince Albert, who was Queen Victoria's Prince Consort. Made with Guinness and Champagne !... Enjoy.
That’s a superb idea

I was actually thinking of something with a bit of alcohol in it - an other thing - the dial is Matt black with a silvery sheen. The Black velvet is spot on!
Also a great proposition :-)

I think some kind of cocktail is more Patek - and we can leave the soft drinks for Rolex LOL

And it works in so many different styles...

Your "coke" has a very different expression than, say, the first platinum grey dial version. It's a very well designed watch, a future classic for sure.
Very good point

They appear quite different and yet there is not one of them that doesn’t work. I think that is testimony that it is well designed as you said.
Thank you, Mahesh

I need it. I’ve grown so many grey hairs in the last few years and this week I’m getting glasses 🤓
We can’t stop the process

But we are obliged try to make the best of it while we are here...
Thank you, Fernando, for your kind words :-)

I also really like the black platinum. Those would perhaps be my two favorites .....but in sincerely like all the 5960....they each have something. E.g. the R with the brushed dial is something I find very appealing
Thank you, Centurionone

true, that it doesnt need it - Im just a bit jealous of the rolex guys with all their cool nicknames ;-) LOL
thats also a super idea!!!
By: ChristianDK : May 15th, 2019-12:04
Im fed up with Rolex getting all the cool nicknames like James Bond and Paul Newman. Dont forget Omega has Ultraman - which is a cool name. Batman - obviously cool. Deadpool sounds scary as hell - but cool!!! I dont know the character. Should there be nam...
