Okay maybe one input. How about to start we nominate a list of manufactures first. I can already think of 20 companies on top of my head, from the mainstream to independent. Then we pick the four out of the companies that are in the competition.

Maybe we have two competitions. The first on manufacturer's to make the list and the second on the actual watches to go into the top 64 :lol: Good idea though. Once you get past JLC, IWC, Breitling, Rolex, Panerai, GO, AP etc. it probably gets a little tougher to whittle it down.

Here is my idea to keep this "Best Of" idea going longer. Why don't we have a 'best of' competition for each brand every few weeks. Well do a Best of Rolex (8 nominations) then a Best of AP, Best of IWC, Best of JLC etc etc. We'll do 16 brands in total, then have a sweet 16 tournament for all 16 of the 'Best of' Watches.

Could you delegate some of the workload?

OK, looks like we are done with discussions on this, and I'm still not exactly clear where we are headed. I'll start a new thread for nominations of watches and let's see where it goes from there......
