I would have guessed the original Explorer II.

SPACE-DWELLER · 29 January 2008, 10:18 PM

I agree. Slip of my mind (the 1655 is also the Explorer II, but I wrote GMT by mistake).

MAXI DIAL · 29 January 2008, 10:24 PM

Bo. We all knew that you meant the Explorer II.

You make mistakes look so correct!

Sorry Bo, mate

I believe the Submariner 6200 as well as the Turn-O-Graph 6202 both released in 1953 were before the GMT 6542 which was released in 1954, as was the Milguass 6541.

Day-Date.

Hey Bo, if we're going to be picky, I think the Rolex Moon Phase 6062, 8171 produced in the early 1950's were also before the Day-Date (1956).

John.

Hang on - what maxi dial is meant in question 3? I would have thought we were talking about the LV. In any case, IIRC the big-dots dial came out on both the 5512 and 5513 at about the same time.

Andad · 30 January 2008, 11:19 AM

7/9 is simply not good enough Bo.

At least you got question 10 correct.

If you're talking modern maxi James, The YM had it before the LV did. If you're talking vintage, then you're right.

We're splitting hairs, aren't we

Oh yeah. Ah well, I'm fan of neither the YM nor the LV.

Better us than JJ splitting hairs, eh?

Andad · 30 January 2008, 04:50 PM

That's not fair Sir James, JJ has no hair to split, well on his head that is.

Precisely!

And who introduced names like Bluesy and Platty to the world of Horology?

SPACE-DWELLER · 31 January 2008, 03:20 AM

And who introduced the expressions "LEC", "CRB" and "CCC"??

CPTL · 31 January 2008, 03:21 AM

I'm sure #10 was the toughest on the list for Bo. He probably had to look on the dresser just to be sure.

f16570 · 31 January 2008, 03:23 AM

No 10 is the only one I got right. LOL

See, and I would have bet money that he would would have said "How did I get dragged into this?" At least this is something different.
