Friend of mine, mentioned a box of matches......banned, for life!

Nah...it's true, they are pretty tightly wound on the MWF!

I for one got a warning and infraction points for asking if it was safe to stand within 3 to five feet of my Microwave and or look in the window as I "Nuked" a hotdog due to concerns of over exposure of elevated magnetic fields!

At first I thought the Mod's were upset that I asked an "Is it Safe" question, but as it turns they wanted to make it abundantly clear that if I ever typed the words "Nuke" on the MWF again, I would be Banned for Life!

Apparently they really don’t like that term!

Wait.... You DON'T know your microwave ref number!?!?!?

I've got to go now, I'm cooking a hotdog in my E-8734F12

I've gone vintage, bought E-8734, but the F08.
It's got the red lettering on the toggle sprocket intake valve (on the back-flush side, drilled lugs, obviously).

I haven't made it thru all the posts on this thread, so who knows what's to come, but man this made me laugh.

Where is this data point sourced from. Are we surveyed when buying a watch? Is this important for ownership.
How many people know the chassis code for their vehicle?

Speedbird-1 · 18 June 2018, 01:58 AM

[B]Less than 1% of Rolex owners know the reference number of their watch(es).QUOTE]

Why is it important.

SearChart · 18 June 2018, 02:11 AM

less than 1% of Rolex owners know: How many microNewton meters of torque is needed to secure a bridge screw in a Rolex movement.

We have a winner

Speedbird-1 · 18 June 2018, 02:24 AM

Fewer than 2% of owners know the correct height, in Uncia for the nomon,
on an 18"Dia sundial.

Haha! I'll try to remember that Bas, next time I've got my movement exposed.

Do you really have a micro torque wrench?
I'd love to see a photo.

Is it Snap-On?

We have Bergeon made torque screwdrivers from Rolex

I know my model numbers....but unfortunately none of mine have cool nicknames. I love the nicknames. Internally I referred to my white Milgauss as the BB8, hence my avatar.

I know some folks think speaking in special code lends specificity to their posts. Those same posts make my eyes glaze over, then get skipped. I'm ok not being a member of that minutia club.

It's, 'minutiae'.

I think you have the plural of my singular noun. You're more typical, but required too many vowels in a row.

Haha! Touché, my friend.
Nice repost.

So, you don't like vowels. I bet you don't like queueing either.

Apologies for starting a sentence with a preposition. It's the fashion these
days, you'll have noticed.

That word scares me to death; worse than a semicolon! I am so lucky to be an American, where we stand on a four letter word.

swils8610 · 18 June 2018, 02:32 AM

Know their Rolex is an automatic movement and not battery powered. I witnessed this once. It was a gift and after not wearing it for a few days it had stopped working as he said, but after I shook it a few times it worked again! It must need a new battery. True story.

MesaSean · 18 June 2018, 02:59 AM

I do! I need to.....constantly searching website and eBay for certain model numbers.

THC · 18 June 2018, 03:21 AM

I know what I think are most all reference numbers of the late models, save all platinum references. Do not know know any of those

4srolex · 18 June 2018, 03:53 AM

Honestly, I think less than 1% of AD’s know the model number.
