I realize a static photo doesn't truly relay what happened, but here goes. A few days back, when I got home from work, I spun up the LVc and the LB, wore the LB for the rest of the evening and put both back in the box. Last night I went to pull one out and discovered both watches had stopped at exact same time. I think that's pretty awesome. For the record, the LVc is a 2016 vintage and the LB is a 2017. IDK, I thought it was cool.

This is the perfect (and only) place to tell this story.

bradyb · 17 November 2018, 01:56 AM

It's also weird when you grab a watch you haven't worn in awhile and it stopped on about the same time AND date as it is when you go to start it back up!

Odie-r · 17 November 2018, 02:50 AM

Neat!

At the risk of coming across as an annoying pedant they didn’t stop at the EXACT same time, seconds hands are 20 seconds apart...

I once noticed that my GMT stopped with the second hand at the 12 o’clock position but it’s never happened again

That is definitely fine engineering in that 3135

I once timed my Sub's PR, and it came out to almost exactly 48 hours, give or take a few minutes. That isn't as impressive as two Subs winding down within a few seconds of each other, but I was still struck by how consistent movement's performance is relative to its specs. (It also keeps time within +1 spd, so it's a real all-rounder.)

AlexFrank · 17 November 2018, 05:30 AM

Indeed that is very cool.

2016 is a vintage

My 2006 and 2007 watches are ancient history in that case

LuminousMaximus · 17 November 2018, 09:28 AM

it is the ghost of Rolex past...

were they both stopped in the PM @ 8:37?

Now that you mentioned it, it was pretty much right at 48hrs. You have now inspired a follow up test. I will report back.

I gotta say, this was my first thought as well!

Super cool nonetheless.

Carondelet · 19 November 2018, 07:21 AM

I think that's pretty neat - but part of me wonders whats more awe-striking: the time they stopped, or their majesticalnesses sitting right next to one another?

watchmework · 19 November 2018, 08:09 AM

They are obviously twins
