I would also be curious to see a Rep Top10 popularity poll. Not by accuracy - we've been over that many times before- just by popularity.

I wonder: Submarine, PO, SPM, Speedy, PAM111, Fiddy, SFSO, Chronomat Evolution, Link Chrono, Carrera, 3717, Cousteau Divers , Big Bang.

Interestingly enough, neither the 1665 nor the 6536 nor the 1675 are in the top 100. :unsure:

I knew a man like you would notice that, Nanuq! ;)

BTW:

88

Chopard

Mille Miglia - 16/8331

90

Chanel

J12 - Blanche H1008

91

Panerai

Historic Collection - Luminor Marina 44mm PAM 00005

These in the rep world would be MUCH higher.

Although the J12 doesn't get any write-ups on RWG, I am positive a lot of you chaps have bought this for your wives and girlfriends, as well as a HUGE section of ladies themselves have bought them from our collectors.

Not I, nor my mother, but we're very much the exception.

And the PAM 005 would possibly be Top 20.

I posted something similar on RWI itself.

I realise it cannot be done on RWG, and I think other rep forums should be allowed to vote, but is there a polling site which could stand such a lengthy list of choices? At least 50.

I wonder: Submarine, PO, SPM, Speedy, PAM111, Fiddy, SFSO, Chronomat Evolution, Link Chrono, Carrera, 3717, Cousteau Divers , Big Bang.

Sounds spot on for a potential Top 13. If you include DJs and SMP Chrono, as well as perhaps a few PAMs like the 177, and that could be our Top 20.

Like the Poll Tax, the RWG Collaboration watch, and electing a sex-pest, Nazi-fathered, steroid-abusing, Austrian-born "actor" as Governor of California, this poll is one of those things that "seemed like a good idea at the time" :whistling:

Honestly, I almost fell asleep scrolling through that predicatable and unimaginative list :yawn:

p.s. no vintage rollies??? :blink::thumbdown:

Panerai

Special Editions - Luminor Marina Militare 1950 47mm PAM 00217

1301

So the 00127 didn't make the list? I've noticed more and more young successful types wearing PAM's here in the states now. A couple of young lawyers in the same building as I wear them and they also have matching Aston Martin's so I would venture to say they are gen. I also watched this new TV show called "Life" about some cop sent to prison wrongfully so he got millions and was set free and he was driving a Bentley and wearing a PAM.

Yep...I can't go to bars or restaurants near my office (and now my apartment, having just moved) without seeing at least one. I'm not exaggerating either. I see at least 3 a day. I yearn for the days when I would wear my 112F and everyone had no clue what the giant hunk of metal on my wrist was. Oh well...

I would have to agree with the comments concerning the reason for this top 100 list, is as a result of the watches that 'The Watch Quote' is selling or has sold. On a number of other sites there are some conflicting reports listing the 'Top' 10 - 50 - 100, etc. Each list based on a different criteria.

Certainly most of the top 10 are fairly universal, but sales of a specific model on this list seems to be what constitutes its number on the list.

Ah well, as you can imagine with such a limited run (1950) there are so few of these that got bought, let alone are seen by others.

Another huge difference between the rep world and the gen world, where almost everyone seems to have Fiddies, gets one eventually, or at least has easy access to getting one.

As mentioned, I live in a condo full of models and their high-powered boyfriends, amongst others (Thalia once lived in the Penthouse...) And I have yet to see a FRIKKIN PAM on anyone's wrist! WTF!

That's just me blowing off steam, not doubting you in any way. :p

Heh. Most of the cops I've seen down here wearing Casios or MAYBE if they're a detective, a Seiko. :)
