I can't seem to find the correct pronunciation of Rolesor (I simply call mine 'two-tone').

Is it pronounced: 'Roll-sore' or 'Roll-eh-sore' (or something else)?

Thanks

vh2k · 27 August 2020, 12:35 AM

Roll-eh-sore

samuel019 · 27 August 2020, 12:36 AM

Exactly as it sounds ro le sor kinda like this like row le sore.

Thanks...that's what I was leaning towards.

It’s pronounced — Bay-ahh-sszz. As in GO BAYAHHSSZZ!

Or, Ditka.

Seeing what Glashutte charge extra for a gold bezel and crown with their SeaQ Panorama Date got me thinking Rolesor is quite good value :)

Wow...I never imagined such a simple question would warrant an attack on both myself and where I live.

So sorry to have offended you, Mr. Wookie.

You can pronounce it any way you want to as its not a real word much like the term Rolesium is just a made up word by Rolex as they cannot state its platinum unless whole watch is platinum.And for the TT watches gold/SS the Rolex made up word Rolesor is used again as they cannot call it gold unless made from all gold and bare a assay mark.

Wow. I mean. Wow.

Attack?

On you?

And where you live?

Do you not know the last 35yrs of history or Chicago’s beloved Bears, Ditka, and the pop cultural relevance, praise and uniqueness that is Chicago?

Wow.

Mods, please edit my post. It appears to be an attack on a member and city.

Thank you

Thanks for the concise info, Padi.

Sorry but this is most unconvincing. What is a "real word" anyway and what is that supposed to mean? Nothing, I say. Are names real words for instance? There are conventions. Of course you "can" pronounce it any way - just as you can mispronounce anything. There is little punishment in this. Coming from a German who has mispronounced words A LOT and keeps doing so to his dismay.

Cheers
Marc

Your cruelty knows no bounds.

HogwldFLTR · 27 August 2020, 06:49 AM

I've always pronounced it as Role-es-sore. Kind of like "dinosaur."

Overwound · 27 August 2020, 07:19 AM

I keep it simple and say two-tone as well. I don't care for the Rolex metal names. Oyster steel, rolesor, rolesium, no thanks.

Everose is a good one and I do like it because it speaks to the characteristic of the metal, it will appear rose gold forever. The word rolesium reminds me of cesium which would be a very poor material choice for a watch.

bigfatpauli · 27 August 2020, 07:50 AM

I pronounce it, "Two-Tone".

But that's me.

Just a heads up- "two tone" and "Rolesor" are not always the same.
