Navitimer Olympus vs. Montbrillant 1461 Jours
Navitimer 1461 LE (2011) 19370 vs. TransOcean Chronograph B0152
Chrono Avenger vs. Chrono Avenger Rattrapante LE
SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus / SuperOcean Steelfish (all 44mm versions) vs. Navitimer World
Crosswind vs. Crosswind Special LE
Chronomat 13352 vs. Emergency SuperQuartz

Some of these are very tough calls, but other I have an outright favorite. Quite excited to see the results of the Navi family match-ups and certainly the brotherly rivalry between the Crosswinds will be fun

Ha! It was close, may have to go to instant replay... bad call by the official may have cost the round :?:

SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus / SuperOcean Steelfish (all 44mm versions) vs. Navitimer World

Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place... but I gave it to the fish... too many Navitimers advancing...

That's what I should've done that is... :(

That's okay, people do make wrong decisions at times :)

Hard to imagine the Navitimer 01 not taking it all out from here, i think.

Hmmm . . . with an estimated 60% of the votes in, the Steelfish is more than holding its own against the mighty Navi World. Gotta love an underdog!

Not a lot of love for the vintage entries through the first two rounds. How would a win by a recently introduced model square with the general lack of regard for recent models? :wink:

I think that the answer to that was pretty obvious from the original list of 64 and then the first round results - the ones that made the list were the more traditional models with some highlights of the non traditional pieces and the only non traditional piece that made it beyond the first round was the Code Yellow that went out in round 2. What's left are the modern interpretations of classic pieces - no coloured rubber or Buck Rogers fonts anywhere.

I don't know how it doesn't unless the pipe dream of owning an unattainable 1 of 25 pieces LE gains momentum. (don't get me wrong, I'd love one if the white gold bezel wasn't all chewed up!)

The Mulliner has been consistently strong and I guess that it is Breitlings' only tourby could sway some. But even though it has the consummate complication, I look at it and think, ""Really?"

I actually thought the Chromonat 01 would squeak through to this round at least. Not that I voted for it!

Navi 01, heavy favorite.

The Mulliner lost this go around with me, it just doesn't really do it for me. I looked at each in the sense if someone offered me one choice or the other for free, which would I take. Granted I would take the Mulliner and sell it, but if they were equally priced I would choose the Hercules.
