Post subject: | 2013 Best watch competition - nominations |
OK everyone, after some discussions here - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50557, let's try and get some watches listed. A few guidelines that I am going to enforce here simply to try and make this more manageable: 1) No multiple nominations of versions of the same watch - a GMT II is a GMT II. I have no issues with different models from a range but it can get into grey areas so with limits on how many watches per brand we accept try to find the most iconic example. 2) Current pieces should have a list price of no more than $25,000. This avoids stratospheric watches without penalising too many brands. PP may suffer a bit - this year's new Calatrava 5227 is excluded, but there has to be a threshold somewhere. 3) Non current pieces should have a current secondary market price of no more than $25,000. Same logic applies here, we'll try to use common sense - a NOS example of a very rare variant may be selling for more but consider pricing for 'normal' pieces. 4) You MUST include a link to information on the watch. For current pieces the brand's website page will work, but I need to be in no doubt which watch you are nominating. I will use this link in the matchups so please make sure that it works and shows your nomination off in a good light. Without this part the nomination will not be accepted - I can't read your minds and go chasing down links to the piece that I think that you nominated. Please make sure that these are links that will remain - so not eBay links that will disappear after a while. Please also remember - no Breitlings here, we'll use the ones that made it to the end of the Best Breitling competition. Other than that, no restrictions at this point. Let's see how many nominations we get and then we can consider things like preliminary rounds per brand, limitations on number of pieces per brand, etc. If people follow the guidelines I have no issues with 1,000 nominations - at least it will demonstrate interest in the competition. So please go at it and I will update this thread as we go. Nominations so far (not numbering as we aren't trying to 'fill slots' yet) in alphabetical order to assist in identifying pieces already nominated: A Lange & Sohne 1815 Aquadive Bathyscaphe 300 Armin Strom Blue Chip Skeleton Arnold & Son World Timer Skeleton Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Automatic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Bell & Ross Vintage 126 Blackbird Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Breguet Marine Big Date Breguet Type XX Bremont MB2 Bremont Supermarine Bvlgari Daniel Roth Petite Seconde Carl F Bucherer Patravi Calendar Carl F Bucherer Patravi Traveltec GMT Cartier Calibre de Cartier Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Extra Large Cartier Tank MC Chronoswiss Grand Regulateur Concord C1 Cvstos Challenge-R 50 Chronograph Devon Works Tread 1 Doxa Sub 5000T F P Journe Chronometre Bleu Franc Vila FVa 15 Girard-Perregaux World Timer Financial Chronograph Glashutte Original PanoMaticLunar Glashutte Original Panorama Date Moon Phase Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar Glashutte Original Senator Regulator Chronometer Hublot Big Bang Aero IWC 7 Day Portuguese IWC Big Pilot IWC Portofino Hand Wound 8 Days IWC Portuguese Yacht Club JLC Grande Reverso Duo JLC Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy Seals JLC Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic JLC Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual JLC Reverso Tribute Lang & Heyne Friederich III Louis Moinet Twintech Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Lune Retrograde Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Omega Planet Ocean Omega PloProf 1200m Omega Seamaster 2531.8000 Omega Speedmaster 9300 Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.012 Panerai 233 Panerai 275 Panerai 294 Panerai 312 Panerai 372 Panerai 441 Panerai 514 Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa XL Parmigiani Fleurier Pershing 005 Patek Philippe Aquanaut Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119 Piaget Emperador RGM Pennsylvania 801E RGM Pennsylvania 801 ES Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Rolex Datejust Rolex Datejust II Rolex Daytona Rolex GMT Master Rolex Submariner Rolex Yachtmaster II Seiko Grand Seiko Seiko Grand Seiko Spring Drive Sinn 756 Diapal Tudor Heritage Black Bay Tudor Heritage Chronograph Blue Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chrono Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Vulcain Cricket X-Treme Zenith Chronomaster Grande Date Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Zenith El Primero Striking 10th Zenith Pilot Big Date Zenith Pilot Type 20 Annual Calendar |

Okay, "marking my territory" I suppose, but Roff can tell me if I'm off on this: Rolex GMT Master http://s1124.photobucket.com/user/Scott ... ort=3&o=27 I am actually fine with a GMT II, but to avoid confusion I'm staking my claim for the original, the non-ceramic bezel model. If Roff accepts a larger umbrella covering the II in ceramic and non-ceramic I'm all for it. Also, the pic I have rights to is my old original model. I simply want the interchangeable black/coke/pepsi bezel model involved. |

Personally I have no issues, but we are going to have to limit the number of a certain brand included in the final competition. If we have to have some kind of 'play in' then we can have all of the nominated watches for a brand compete for the restricted number of places available, but let's see what gets nominated first - I want to be fairly broad about things right now because we just don't know how many submissions there will be. |

I know there's already the YMII and the GMTII, but I think you need these Rolex in there as well: Submariner - Whatever version, aluminum insert or ceramic insert, it should be there. http://www.rolex.com/watches/submariner ... -0001.html The Daytona http://www.rolex.com/watches/cosmograph ... -0016.html The Datejust - Either the 36mm or the Datejust 2 http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust-i ... -0006.html I think this puts us over the Rolex limit, but these really should be included |

At the risk of it becoming a bit of a Panerai-fest I'm going to nominate the beautifully simple - Panerai 312 http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-collect ... c-pam00312 ... and the beautifully complex (well, slightly more complex!) - Panerai 275 http://www.gemnation.com/watches/Panera ... -8896.html I know the AP Royal Oak has been nominated, but I really want to nominate the - AP Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph http://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch- ... .D091CR.01 I also want to nominate these - JLC Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/GB/en/w ... rm/1778470#/t1 JLC Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/GB/en/w ... ck=version Lastly, I want to nominate a Roger Debuis as I think they make some of the most amazing watches around. However, I'm struggling to find one I like under the $25k limit! So I'll go with the - Roger Dubuis Easy Diver http://www.gemnation.com/watches/Roger- ... -9158.html |

1) JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual. Nuff Said.A true perpetual calendar for under 20k?

The comeback kid of the year. http://www.tudorwatch.com/#/en/heritage-chrono-blue/ 3) FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. In-house movement with a fantastic blue dial cased up in Tantalum and a solid gold movement to boot. Under 20k.

The Offshore technically retails for $25,700 so it'll have to be replaced with the royal oak chrono. I hate to throw the red flag on it, but I really want to nominate the 5711 if only it were a little cheaper. |
