Head to head competition the same as last year was the runaway winner in the vote so all that I need now is 64 watches to compete and we can get started. I warn you now that I have a couple of trips coming up in the next couple of weeks so there may be a slight delay in the early rounds. I'll keep this thread up to date as best I can with the list of watches, but please help me out a little bit: 1. Read what's already been nominated to avoid duplication! 2. Give me enough details to identify the watch - Navitimer isn't very helpful. Maybe link to the page on the site for the watch if there is one to make it very clear. I know that I will still have to clarify some, but a little basic thought goes a long way. 3. Unless stated I am going to assume that the regular model is being nominated. If you want to specifically nominate an LE please make sure that it is materially different from the regular model - a black steel for example, a dial logo isn't really different. Also, consider whether we need both in the contest or whether the regular model is sufficient. There should be plenty of opportunity for everyone to get their favourite in before we hit the limit. I'll start by including last year's winner as that was the preferred option in the vote. 01 - Navitimer 01 02 - Chronomat 01 03 - Crosswind Special Sport LE 04 - Chrono Avenger 69 Rattrapante (600 piece Mechaquartz version) 05 - Transocean Chronograph 1461 06 - SuperOcean A17360 07 - Transocean Chronograph B01 08 - Blackbird big date 09 - 806 Navitimer 10 - 809 Cosmonaute 11 - 810 Top Time 12 - Cosmonaute Lemania SE 13 - SuperOcean Steelfish A17390 14 - Emergency 15 - B-1 SQ 16 - Headwind 17 - Chrono-matic SE 18 - Montbrillant Datora 19 - 765 Premier 20 - 769 Chronomat 21 - 784 / 785 Datora 22 - 765 Co-Pilot AVI 23 - 1-260 Unitime 24 - 807 / 1004 SuperOcean 25 - 2005 SuperOcean 26 - 1806 Navitimer / 1809 Cosmonaute 27 - 2105 SuperOcean 28 - Transocean Chrono-matic 29 - 1765 Unitime AVI 30 - Montbrillant 1903 Flyback 31 - Navitimer Mecanique LE 32 - Chronomat 13352 33 - Seawolf II GMT 34 - Breitling for Bentley Mark VI 35 - Breitling for Bentley GT 36 - Montbrillant 1461 37 - Colt 17380 38 - Chronomat Evolution 39 - Chrono-matic 41360 40 - Hercules 41 - Antares World 42 - Chrono Shark 43 - Navitimer Rattrapante 44 - Blackbird 13353 45 - Navitimer World (A24322) 46 - Navitimer 1461 (A19370) (2011- version) 47 - Navitimer Olympus (A19340) 48 - Crosswind (A13355) 49 - Breitling for Bentley Le Mans (A22362) 50 - Chronomat 44 GMT (AB0420) 51 - Super Avenger 52 - Chrono Avenger 53 - Chronomat Longitude 54 - Wings 55 - Shadow Flyback 56 - Duograph 57 - Aerospace E79362 (2007 - 2011) 58 - Chrono Avenger Rattrapante (G34360) 59 - Breitling for Bentley 6.75 60 - Chrono SuperOcean 13340 61 - Colt Chronograph II 62 - Cockpit A49350 (Big Date) 63 - Skyracer 64 - Chronospace A78365 |

Chronomat B01 I guess the first issue. Gotta include this one in just for the sake of the fight. |

Navi 806 Navi 809 Transocean Chrono LE (I think this is a good representative for the whole TOC range... reasonable availability, plus what I feel is nice dial options) Top Time 810 Cosmonaute Lemania Serie Speciale (would do a good job representing the whole Lemania era of Cosmonautes) SuperOcean Steelfish Emergency 1 |
