    The encryption method is extremely simple and the first letter is already in plaintext (the character number that is). The plaintext is plain english. [79, 32, 79, 39, 45, 39, 112, 21, 50, 64, 37, 5, 107, 4, 36, 87, 35, 81, 48, 94, 57, 92, 46, 93, 125, 9, 102, 70, 42, 69, 51, 86, 92, 5, 106, 31, 63, 84, 58, 85, 34, 2, 118, 30, 123, 91, 41, 92, 48,

    It has something to do with the sunglasses MCM. The sunglasses fall under 57, 18, 24. How can you not see it? :)

    LOL.....I typed 57 18 24 into my search bar and a bunch of sunglasses with polar vision popped up.
    Bob/PKB

    That's weird! I got lists of numbers that made me dizzy

    I'm sorry i have a headache looking at all of Romos' numbers.  :)

    ....6 ?

    57, 18, 24, 12


    5+7=12, 1+8=9,  2+4=6, 1+2=3


    12, 9, 6, 3   a clever pattern of decreasing value.

    This is a great effort and. at this moment in time, easily the best answer.
    Though feasible, it is not the right answer and it is a single digit and the significance thereof, in connection to the numbers, that is being asked for.

    Another one of those mind-benders, that when you see the solution, you just want to kick yourself!
    Bob/PKB

    Hmmm.

    Sorry mate,i only got 10 fingers and 10 toes,,anything after that aint worth knowing..>>>>>>>><<<<<<..

    And what do we win 150 points toward ? 

    west-bus

    The 150 points will give your ego a big boost.

    We have found that aside from being a center and source for major brands our watch community would not exist without supporting the passions of our collectors so we throw link quarterly link "Watch and Scotch" events as well as link watchmaking events and other fun activities that get our clients involved in how things tick. When possible we plan brand excursions trips and other events to bring the larger community into our world.
