willy Skrev:Maybe you have had a vote on Vintage watches.But that means nothing except in Denmark maybe,or maybe just on this blogg.In the rest of the world the ikons are watches like Royal Oak,Rolex Oyster,PP.Calatrava,IWC Portuguese,JLC Reverso,etc etc.The only one that is right is the Sub Rolex.Willy

How fortunate we are to have your insight to enlighten us all. Only bad thing is that it is not correct. As vintage watches, you could no doubt find the same list internationally:
Rolex Submariner
Omega Speedmaster
Breitling Navitimer

Not necessarily the same, but do not say that this is totally wrong for vintage icons. Royal Oak is nice PP Calatrave too - but they are not bigger icons than the once mentioned. You make the big mistake of putting your own opinion in - and then mixing it up what must be what the "international watch world things"
That is not helpful to anything.

A watch icon is a single watch design with remains on the memory of people, and the three chosen are very correct - or at least as correct as they might have been internationally.
A fan of JLC - like Jacob - may feel bad that it is not a JLC - and I would think that the reverso is not a bad suggestion in that connection - but this not the place to call other peoples votes silly or wrong, or locally danish - but a place to suggest your own - no 4 to ??

Do not patronise and look down on things here in Denmark - thinking you always know better because you have out of our little country. We are not as small or silly as you may think Willy - and you know I have respect for your knowledge.

Citat:

I do not look down on Denmark in anyway.But i do mean that for example a Reverso or a Tank for that matter are bigger Ikons in the world of watches than any on your list.I mean half the world knows what a Rolex Oysterdate is and about less than 1% know what a Brietling navitimer is.The market prices tell the truth here.Take a look at the prices on your list and compare them with the prices on my list of watches.In my humble opinion the greatest Ikon in the world of watches must be the Rolex Submariner.No other watch has been copied like this watch.It alone created a Industry for sport watches.And the price for them vintage speaks for its self.Omega speedy is the most famous Omega in the world,thats it.But a speedy did nothing new in the watch world,so in my mind its not a ikon,and the same i can say about Brietling.These watches did nothing to change the face of watchmaking so how can you call them Ikons? JLC reverso is unique in the watch world so is the royal oak they created something new like the submariner and changed the watch industry.They are true ikons mr.Hannova. Willy. P:S I was not giving just my own opinion please try not to put words in my mouth about what i mean or do not mean.I never do that to you.You like me have your own opinion lets leave it at that
