WOTW Results

Jul 16, 2017,10:50 AM
 

Forumners,


I found it tough this week because of the amazing entries.

Also, as judge, I could not enter the fray...



Blue


CRITERIA

The prime criterion for WOTW must be an immediate gut reaction of Wow! PuristS would want one....Hey!  I want one...now!

Next, it must be a coloured dial; no ifs, no buts, unequivocally coloured.

Although superlative photography skills are NOT a requirement for WOTW, a pretty picture helps.  wink



SHORTLIST


Although I have no Rolex and cancelled my pre-order of a Martin Braun Eos, the following three watches made the "Second Look" shortlist:






zabreg1

If you must have Rolex bling, this is the way to go.






manilx

I have no idea what this is but it certainly made me look twice!






bounce781

The Eos dial give a clinically precise but warm ambience.



HONOURABLE MENTION


This pair complied with the colourful stipulation for this weeks Wrist Scan contest.






hororgasm

The colour art on this JLC cannot be denied.






alain2701

This Mido has all the fantastic colours of its era....I almost want one but for the Winners Circle below.



WINNERS CIRCLE


Equal 3rd Place

I could not separate this pair even after three recounts.

Each time, I outvoted myself smile

Is it any wonder that they both are associated with the Meylan family.......?




luis6

Moser come...Moser go; this smoky grey dial is elegant and restrained.






alkiro1

This Audemars Piguet has an uncommon limited edition dial and meaningful too because of the charity foundation involved with growing mighty oaks from little acorns.



2nd Place




aries

Stepan Sarpaneva is just a little bit crazy and this "Crazy Horses" moonphase (check out the lyrics of this Osmonds hit) wild deep purple just shreds it...

Video below.....



1st Place





nafetS

The Horological Brothers:  Say no more;  PuristS all want one.......


Best regards,

MTF

I knew this would be an amazing theme and the entries did not disappoint. I only feel bad for the judges, as they had a seriously difficult task.

Congratulations to all winners, especially nafetS who won two of the three awards.
