I was reminded of a post that was on the TURF a while ago regarding how one pronounces SUBMARINER

Sub Maar In 'er vs. Sub- Mar - EEN- er i personally prounounce it like the former ...

but model designations ... what do you guys say ?

i say 1680 = Sixteen-Eighty

i say 1665 = Sixteen- Sixty-Five

16520= Sixteen- Five - Two- Oh

116520= Eleven- Sixty-Five - Two- Oh

silly post... yes i know... but i truely am interested

Same here...

16520= Sixteen- Five - Two- Oh

NO - Sixteen Five Twenty

116520= Eleven- Sixty-Five - Two- Oh

NO - One Sixteen Five Twenty

You're right this is a ridiculous post... Of course, I'm now curious.

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.

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.

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')

In french, I say:

1680= Seize - Quatre-vingt

1665= Seize - Soixante Cinq

16520= Seize - Cinq Cent Vingt

116520= Cent Seize - Cinq Cent Vingt

16610= Seize Six Cent Dix

:brow:

In Greek, I say:

1680= hilia eksakosia ogdonta

1665=hilia eksakosia eksintapente

16520= dekaeksi pente ikosi

116520= enteka eksintapente ikosi

16610= dekaeksi eksi deka
