m re-posting these questions here cuz i seem to have lost them cuz of mistakenly having posted them in the rolex gallery section :)

1). What does LV in the 50th anniversary sub mean? (i know it stand for lunette verde but what does that mean in english?)

2). What does WIS mean?..i feel silly asking this :)

3). why is there a 'T' written at the start and end of 'swiss made' marking in some rolexes?

4). what does a Milgauss GV mean?..i mean i know the milgauss but whats the GV for?

these are pretty small things but just interested in knowing, as thats what really caring about your watches is all about :)..thnks
