Icon10 Rolex Trivia Quiz
Hi guys and girls,
Let's play a game....
These are the rules: I'll start with asking a question that is "not known by the world" yet, and whoever is the first to give the correct answer, will have the right to ask the next question. You cannot ask a question without answering the previous one first!
This way we can hopefully come up with a thread that will answer a lot of uncommon question!
OK, here I go...

What kind of material are the red reversing wheels made of?

This should be an easy one.
On the "Kermit" Submariner 116610LV, what does the LV stand for?

I know it's a special material with a technical name from Rolex, but I forget what it is called.....something like Rolexium.

JJ, the rules of the game were you gotta answer my question correctly first before you get your turn to ask something. Then when someone gets your question right, it becomes their turn and so forth...
