    Please vote on your favourite 5 watch Collection. (Wibbs can we get a sticky?) Click on preview for better quality view.

    I have posted them in order of receiving them. Watches in order of the entry. Vote will be counted in 1 week and the vote percentage will be multiplied by the percentage of the 40k used. Please do not vote for your own collection. Winner will decide next months rules and amount to spend. I have verified the figures on Chrono24 as of today. Entries will be received until 12pm today. Fitz II has not entered as adjudicator.

    Thats a good idea but cant seem to edit it.....Wibbs can you help?

    Very nice collections there and thanks to Fitz II for organising this event!

    Pity I can't vote for myself, but I'm happy I voted for the second best :pac:

    Well done Fitz, I see a couple of us (calculated the VAT @ 23% instead of 21%) will have to get the calculator out for next week, let us know where to find the price in euros on the site, thanks. Mine is set at dollars:confused:.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Right down the bottom of Chrono you will see a little flag change that to euro there, its quite well hidden.

    You weren't the only one Blue, the currency completely slipped my notice once I'd set the search to EU/Europe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,527 ✭✭✭Fitz II


    actually close enough, only a couple of votes in it....vote early and vote often :)

    I have gotten all of McManus real youtube subs to register and vote for me.

    The extra 3 votes will make the difference.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭redlead


    This is an excellent idea Fitz. It's almost as much fun guessing who has entered what. I'm 100% sure I know which is Unkels and Wibbs. 90% sure of 893 .... :-)

    Very surprised not one had a Reverso or Tank in any line up - will be interested to see whose selection I had chosen.

    Nice choices all - can spot Wibb's choice from a mile away (obviously the one with all the Rolexes :D )


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,466 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    I would think Wibbs' entry is the only one I'd have better than 70% confidence in picking.

    The others, well it really is an eclectic bunch with some really interesting commonalities.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,527 ✭✭✭Fitz II


    The secrecy of the poll is sacrosanct. Cant give the game away, but a lot of the guessing is miles off. I think the winner and runner up will be announced.. Its very close at the moment, Couldn't be closer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,527 ✭✭✭Fitz II


    In the last half of the poll time now.....only a few votes in it, and still a close call, could go either way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,466 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    I reckon the multiplier will make all the difference when it comes to the totting up.

    Really great idea for a way to entertain the forum the FG!
    If I could thank the OP twice I would :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭eljono


    I see the results are in. I don't remember who I voted for anymore but enjoyed going through them and seeing where peoples' interests lie.

    Next months competition looks very exciting, Mr. Cyrus has come up with a very interesting set of rules. Will post the new one at the weekend.

    5 g-shocks for under a grand?


  • Registered Users Posts: 64,760 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Woot, nobody voted for my collection? Not even me? :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭hitemfrank


    I think the Yachtmaster and the turquoise OP made it a bit too obvious that was your selection.

  • Registered Users Posts: 64,760 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Aye. Pretty obvious it was my collection. What are you trying to say, that people didn't vote for my collection, because they knew it was my collection? :p:o :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭hitemfrank


    I think people didn't vote for it mostly because of the turquoise to be honest. I kind of like it now - it's definitely grown on me but not something I'd ever consider wearing.

    I love it.

    Is that supposed to make him feel better or worse :D

    All the colours are growing on me. As actually pictures circulate they look far better than the website renders showed when they were released.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭hitemfrank


    I think a bit of mystique to the selections is a good thing. If we knew who chose each it may descend into a popularity contest.

    That's probably what I should have included in my earlier post also :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 64,760 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    I love that turquoise OP. If I got offered it tomorrow at retail, I'd buy it!

    Would also be tempted by the green. Or the blue.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,110 ✭✭✭Thirdfox


    Tiffany blue you mean? :pac: I can see plenty of ladies loving that colour too (seems like a very sensible choice - should have had a cartier red version too ;) )

    There should be a wooden spoon prize for "nul points" :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,223 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I think that turquoise dial looks great personally
