Overview:
So as most folks love a good battle, so I'm creating a series of running battles. In them, I'll put up pics of two watches. Your task is to choose by vote the one who should move on to the next round. In the next round I'll put up the winner of the first round and a new watch and you vote again. You'll have two days to vote and discover the candidates, and I'll put up a new "battle" on the third day. (If I'm late by more than a day, it's because I got banned and someone else will have to carry the torch. )
There will be multiple contest categories, but given my time constraints I'll only have two going at one time.
If someone else wants to manage one of the other categories above, I have no issue with that, but if you take on a category, you own it. It'll be yours to administer. If you feel there are other relevant/interesting categories that aren't listed above, you are also free to create them/it too. (It's not like I could stop you from doing so, I'm just saying I won't be offended if you do. LOL) Just so you have the background pertaining to the approach, please refer to the following posts prior to creating please refer to these posts:
If you have specific watches you want to see face off against the winner of the first round, suggest them. I just ask that you do so in the appropriate thread because I could well miss it otherwise.
Your Vote:
So here we go...and remember, you are voting for a specific watch, the one pictured, not a brand and not some other watch either company makes. Were this a brand level game, it'd be easy: Patek wins. LOL.

- Manual Wind Watches: - Seconds, No Date
- Manual Wind Watches: - No Seconds, No Date
- Automatic Watches: - Seconds, date
- Automatic Watches: - No Seconds, date
- Non-Circular/Hex/Octagonal Shapes - Rectangular/Tonneau
- Novelty Watches - These are watches that have something about their aesthetic design that makes that thing the point for buying them. Mostly it'll be art, but it's possible that a watch will appear here that has no comparable competitor in the preceding groups.

Your Vote:
- I will not post pics of every dial or case color in which a watch comes. I will try to post comparable pics to the extent I can easily find them, both for the watch of a given brand relative to a review as well as for the two competing watches, prioritizing where possible comparability of pics for the competitors. You'll have to decide for yourself if the color of the case, dial, etc matters to you in choosing a watch. For some folks it'll matter, for some it won't. I can say that I'll vote based on the watch's substance and only use things like color and case alternatives as a last resort, but that's just me.
- I hope this doesn't turn into " the most expensive guy wins." Part of why this game is here is because I've seen a bit more objectivity here in HEW than I seen in general in Public.
