Heads up about an edit I made[edit]

I have been a connected contributor to Bob's Watches (declared on the talk page, edit summary, and my user page) and I'm adding a link to their site to this article. I was in no way compensated for this, just giving notice for complete transparency. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation Rolex[edit]

Rolex is correctly spoken [ˈroːlɛks] I understand the long/closed O sound ([oː] in IPA) is unknown in english, due to the Great Vowel Shift, so replacement by [oʊ] could be acceptable. However the facts should be seen and stated.

In this context, I would also recommend to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Great_Vowel_Shift#The_linguistic_knowledge_level_displayed_by_some_of_the_commentariat_here_is_truly_remarkable Contorista (talk) 11:34, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
