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 three days to vote and three days and I'll put up a new "battle" on the fourth 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. )
I'll have multiple threads running. One for the major brands in a given category and one for the not-so major brands in a given category. For example, in the category of Uncomplicated Dress Watches there will be:
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 if you put a "big boy" suggestion in the "little boy" thread or a chrono suggestion in the uncomplicated threads.
Lastly, 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.
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.
Uncomplicated Dress Watches: The Little Guys - Round 1: Parmigiani Tonda 1950 vs. Arnold & Son HMS1
You can dig into the details of each if you need to. To make the battle as close as possible, I've chosen the gold version of each.

- Watch Duels - Uncomplicated Dress Watches: The Little Guys - If the brand isn't sold at Liljenquist and Becksted, it's a little guy. (Liljenquist & Beckstead Watches)
- Watch Duels - Uncomplicated Dress Watches: The Big Boys - If the brand is sold at Liljenquist and Becksted, it's a big guy. (Liljenquist & Beckstead Watches) It would just be too unfair to the Little Guys if I put them with VC.
