Based on the features and colors of the watches they represent, these monikers are shorthand ways to describe and date them, and even identify their materials. None is derogatory \u2014 a nickname implies fondness, after all, or in the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/how-to-buy-a-rolex\/\">Rolex collectors<\/a>, devotion.
