hannover_dk Skrev:nå - men du må jo opstille en afstemning om nr 4 - måske ved at udelukke de tre første fra sidste afsteming?

Det var det jeg havde tænkt mig - og een stemme pr mand

Så får vi se. Det bliver barskt - ikke noget for kujoner <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Så let kan du ikke udelukke mig Udeluk de 3 første - som var vældigt oplagte og lav en afstemning om de næste 3 pladserne 4 til 6
Fra 5 til 6 bliver der spredning tror jeg

Ja ja - nu får vi se....

Vi skal have et klart resultat ikke noget blødsødent "vi skal jo alle være her" fis.....

Den hårde linie er tilbage <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

JLC Reverso skal da ligge nummer 1
så passer de andre pladser også med et snuptag

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

Sjovt - Bauns indlæg bunder ellers i et andet indlæg fra et internationalt forum, skrevet af en englænder...

Citat: An review of the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera placed the Carrera in the top 4 great iconic watches of the 20th century, the other 3 being the Rolex Submariner Omega Speedmaster and the Breightling Navitimer.

Would you agree with this statement and if so in what order of "iconicness" would you place each one, if you don't agree what would you remove -add to the list.

Mine would be:
Rolex Sub - Has to be the most easily recognized watch going and the most faked.
Omega Speedy - The history of this watch speaks for itself Google moon watch and you get 148000 search results.
Tag Carrera - A true retro motor sports watch especially with Tags marketing, the thachy version even looks fast sat on your wrist.
Breitling Navitimer - The archetypal pilots watch, around since the 40s with the in my opinion most elegant dial of any watch. in my book equal 3rd with the Tag.

Nick.

Hvis det passer willy (og det tror jeg da det gør)
så er ure vist noget af det eneste hvor jeg har samme smag som den store verden <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Men det kan da godt overraske mig lidt hvis Speedmasteren ikke kan samme ikon status
i andre lande som den bliver sat op til herhjemme/herinde.

Uden der skal gå krig i tråden

[baun]

Krig kommer der jo når willy - eller skal vi sige Erasmus Montanus blander sig.

Skulle vi komme tilbage på sporet.

Foreslag til hvad er nr 4. ... lad os bare sige i DK.

Willy er ikke = krig for mig
mener stadigvæk at JLC skal være med i top 4.....også i Danmark

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.
