two questions...

I am learning a lot here at this forum. I am puzzled with these two questions:

1). what does LV (i know Lunette verde or something ) really mean in english?..m guessing it means 'fiftieth anniversary' in swiss language :D

2). why do some rolexes have a 'T' before and after written with the "swiss made" marking at six o'clock?.

thnx a lot for your responses...:)

1. LV (Lunette Verte) means green bezel in French.

2. The T refers to the tritium used as the luminescent material in the dial.

3. WIS = Watch Idiot Savant
