Im not sure if it's has been discussed before, but this just came into my mind when I see the tudor black bay, and I find it interesting.

Johnny walker
Blue label> gold label> green label> black label> red label

Rolex
116619(blue)> 116618(gold)> 116610lv(green)> 116610ln(black)> BB(red)

The order is exactly the same... Could it be coincidence? or these 2 brands are actually somehow connected?

MonBK · 19 September 2012, 09:16 PM

You're kidding, right?

johnbeth · 19 September 2012, 09:21 PM

Very interesting first thread. Imaginative and authentic!

Watchonisto · 19 September 2012, 09:31 PM

They are connected, did you drink all that bottles in order, or all together?

I usually drink green/black label as the love I have in 116610. Working my way to get a 116619 (hopefully one day), and have the blue label as my daily drink

I'm certain its not by coincidence. They want continuity between the models and flavors. Very important.

mjclark32 · 19 September 2012, 10:16 PM

I wish I would get a new sub for every bottle I buy...

ecsub44 · 19 September 2012, 10:19 PM

They might be the same company. In fact, Crayola might be the same company too. Turns out they have blue, gold, green, black, and red crayons!

The plot thickens...

Very clever! I like the thought process.

Rags · 20 September 2012, 12:01 AM

I usually drink the black label but always have a bottle of blue on hand for special occasions.
Rolex of choice is my beloved TT DJ followed by the SS Sub..

bayerische · 20 September 2012, 01:47 AM

I saw a program on the History Channel the other day about some guys finding the number "7" repeating itself in the statue of liberty... How they always ended up with the number "7" was VERY imaginative.

And no. I don't think they are connected. (Rolex and Johnny)

You remind me of a guy I once knew. He wore a tinfoil hat and talked a lot about how the government is trying to get us!

This is too funny, when I first clicked on this thread I though "oh a fellow TRF member that likes to drink JW" but never did I think I would have seen this coming.

freddyttt · 20 September 2012, 03:35 AM

Its a sink whole-

keep drinking that daily-
and
you'll sink!

Celter · 20 September 2012, 05:52 AM

They are certainly connected in my mind.

Agreed. There are a lot of good single malts out there that are better than Blue label and less expensive.

It all depends on where you buy it. I picked up an engraved bottle for 100 bucks and it came with a 4 pack sample each 200ml of jw black gold green and blue.

DOW · 20 September 2012, 09:09 AM

Johnnie Blue is the Cadillac Escalade of the Scotch Whisky world, all bling and common.

Let's talk single malts!

I prefer to think of my 116610LN as a nice Laphroaig or Ardbeg 10 yr, in a cut crystal rocks glass with (gasp!) 3 rocks.

Johnnie Green is my homie, I'll give you that. For a blend it's nice.

A.Sharp · 20 September 2012, 09:56 AM

way to put the pieces together! Definitely a conspiracy worth further investigation. lol! clever...
