Last 8 are set, polls going up in the next few minutes. Here are the quarter final match ups: Navitimer 01 vs. Navitimer Olympus Chronomat 13352 vs. Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon Navitimer 1461 LE vs. SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus / SuperOcean Steelfish (all 44mm versions) Crosswind Special LE vs. Chrono Avenger Rattrapante LE Don't think that I would have chosen all of those as being there this late! |

Well my original choice made it to the last 8 the 13352, hoping for the last 4! |

I'm surprised to see the Bentley being pounded by the Chronomat to the degree it is. |

Surprised to see the Steelfish holding its own against the Navi 1461 LE in early voting, given the disdain here for lowly three-hand watches.  Can't bring myself to vote for a LE over a standard production model — doesn't seem like a fair fight.

A tool watch vs a "heritage" Breitling chronograph slide rule bezel watch. Usually around 60 votes - only 43 now. Go Steelfish!!! Cheers. |

I really can't believe something so non-representative of Breitling is still there. Breitling is not exactly known for high end complications. Time to vote. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My thoughts exactly. I've shocked the Bentley tourbillon made it this far. I actually am not find of the piece at all because it's such a far cry from what I feel Breitling really is about. Also, it's butt ugly IMO. |

Also, it's butt ugly IMO. Even CBS would call it now - it is going down to the classic Chronomat. The CW Special has a slim edge on the CA LE, another one that makes sense to me. Had I voted Steelfish, the spread against the Navi 1461 would be but 2 votes. (I'm ready for the abuse, but I just can't take the Fish over a semi-perpetual Navi.). Still rather close on the Navi 01, but it looks as though it will come through. If it continues, a final 4 of the classic Chronomat, Crosswind Special, Navi 01 and and Navi 1461 LE is one I wouldn't even dare to predict. |

If that is the final 4 then I hope the semis are Chronomat vs. Crosswind and 01 vs. 1461 to make sure that we get a classic 'Navi family' vs. 'Windrider family' final. |
