A beautiful Friday morning here in Auckland, Bo....and you had to go and spoil it all with that complicated math!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 16 November 2007, 03:27 AM

Sorry about that, JJ!

904L_addict · 16 November 2007, 03:30 AM

Thanks Bo. I wasn't planning on it, but after that technogeek explanation I now have to have one!

Huh?

You lost me there. Billy is harsh? Does that mean something offensive in the UK?

Serenty03 · 16 November 2007, 04:36 AM

Thanks
That makes sense, now I totally understand

Maz25 · 16 November 2007, 04:53 AM

B stands for Bo. You are so loved that Rolex decided to inscribe your initital in the watch for you. Congrats on you new watch and wear it in health!

SLR · 16 November 2007, 05:27 AM

Yes! B stands for Bo. I know you're not thrilled about the design, but does the fact that Rolex is paying you personal tribute change your mind?

Bo, are you secretly working for Rolex?

B=F/I*l

I bet the kids on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" can answer that within nano of a second!

Gr8 job Bo

Andad · 16 November 2007, 05:00 PM

Yes,

All very interesting but it has no real meaning on the caseback unless you attach the ends of the bracelet to a 12 volt car battery.

For those who don't like the Milgauss, (I think Bo included) that wouldn't be a bad idea.

NOW I understand the complexity of magnetic flux!

So if you hold your fingers like that and draw some imaginal lines, you get a "Smiley Face" with a blue and a red eye and with a green nose and mouth??

Is that it??

COOL!

Man, and I thought the "B" stood for Battery.

mikey · 17 November 2007, 10:15 AM

Bo you are real smart. I am just trying to figure out where would your average Rolex owner go needing soo much technology in a Rolex Milgaus? Where would you go where the watch needs so much that a Sea Dweller or Sub could not accomplish?

Grib · 17 November 2007, 10:27 AM

Okay. THIS thread is from the 15th. of November

See post date of the last post of the below thread:

Post dates! CLICK!

So what did I "repost" three days (well, actually one day) ago, please, that was posted TODAY on the 16th. of November??

I would say that the significance of the "B" symbol was brought up again, but in the ORIGINAL thread!

Maybe you should read before writing!

Bo is an amazing resource here. He answers everybody's questions, newbie or old timer in a timely fashion and very accurately.

He does all of this on his own time and without complaint or expectation of any reward. How he stays so well informed and on top of everything Rolex I'll never know, but I am really glad he is here.

Why don't you show him a little courtesy and respect. He works his butt off here.

If you look at the thread, Steve reposted Bo's post, not Bo.
