eunomians Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I guess it's all ok as long as the fella you're shoutin' at knows you are talking about Rolex reference numbers. If you find yourself mentioning reference numbers to random folks out on the street, maybe it's time to check yourself into a psychiatric clinic.

Antonio Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 How difficult can you guys MAKE this? Sheesh. Just do it in binary. How much easier can it get than simple ones and zeros? There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary, and those who do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Model numbers aren't really something I actually say aloud much, but when I do, I tend to break it down, ie 21531.80 would be said Twenty five thirty one, eighty. As for Submariner, I've always said Sub-Ma-Rin-uh (with the 'ma' a very clipped sound, as in 'Marin County', not drawn out, as if someone was calling their mother 'Ma') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
