"bleu et noir" which means blue and black in English

SearChart · 19 November 2013, 12:40 AM

Thank you, there were still quite a few that I didn't know

Cru Jones · 19 November 2013, 01:07 AM

BTW (by the way

) and FWIW (for what it's worth), i think the references in the original list to "verti" should be to "verte" (as in, "glace verte" and "lunette verte", not "glace verti" and "lunette verti").

Fantastic idea as all have said. But I wanted to add I recently joined another forum for collecting of something else - not watches- and I think I follow about 60% of what's being said due to this issue. TRF is way above the rest and inclusive.

James A. · 4 December 2013, 01:38 PM

I gree that this thread is was a great idea.

I've (mostly) lurked for 5+ years and this info would have been a huge benefit early on.

How about "BB" for the Tudor Black Bay?

Camel · 5 December 2013, 06:27 PM

Great idea - thank you.

Chilgrove · 13 December 2013, 01:07 AM
