Key Points from the Discussion

The World Time watches shown are identified as references 542 and 1415, with the 1415 being distinguished by its teardrop lugs.
The 1416 World Time reference features 'little-bean' lugs, which can appear straight when viewed from above, differentiating it from the teardrop-lugged 1415.
The 542 World Time reference is noted to be smaller, approximately 27mm in case size.
A fellow collector humorously advises the owner of the 5711R to secure the crown to prevent water ingress, noting that the times on the watches appear inconsistent, suggesting they might have been set for a photoshoot rather than active wear.
The original author clarifies that the watches had not been worn for some time and were selected from a large collection for the gathering, explaining the loose crown on the 5712 and the varying times.
