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)
Contradiction[edit]
In the side column, Rolex Watch Co. Ltd. is listed as being Rolex SA's former name from 1919 to 1919. However, in the Early History section, November 1915 is the date that is listed as the month that Wilsdorf and Davis became Rolex Watch Co. Ltd. 73.218.245.26 (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
