2012 eRelyx Watch Madness is underway!!

We selected 32 watches and matched them up in an NCAA-style tournament bracket. Starting on March 15th, your votes will determine the winner of each match-up. The watch with the most votes moves on to the next round. Ultimately, one watch will emerge as the winner! Will it be a Patek? A Rolex? An Omega?

Click here for the rules and to download your bracket. Fill it in, email it back to us by March 14th, and follow along and vote for your favorite. The participant with the highest point total (most accurate predictions) wins an eRelyx prize pack.

Here is the 2012 bracket:

Okay, I'm in. If a Rolex or Panerai wins over one of the incredible watches you have in the contest I'm calling shenanigans. :laugh:

With all due respect, any such "contest" that includes only watches from Switzerland (and a a token German offering or two), while ignoring the wonderful Grand Seiko/Credor products, is pretty flawed from the start.

With all due respect, any such "contest" that includes only watches from Switzerland (and a a token German offering or two), while ignoring the wonderful Grand Seiko/Credor products, is pretty flawed from the start.

It would have been good to have included some of the GS/Credor models, but the contest is not to find the best watch out there, just to find the most popular watch from each of the match-ups until one 'winner' is found. It's just a bit of fun, whether you like the watches, or agree with the voting. Just keep it in mind that it's a popularity contest and in no way reflects the actual or perceived quality of any of the watches in the lineups. Just have some fun... :001_tt2: .
And would you really want to have to make the choice between a top GS & Credor - it might just break you heart....:crying::lol:

Perhaps we need to expand the bracket to 64 next year!! Always tough to narrow the field.

And yes - this is a popularity contest - nothing more. Just wanted to have some fun - not everyone loves college basketball!!

Thanks to those of you who have already submitted brackets. Good luck!!! Voting begins tomorrow.

The first match-up is live!!

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean vs. Baume & Mercier Capeland.

Pfft, this is gonna be a bigger landslide than Nixon in '72. :001_rolleyes:

 

[eRelyx]

Match-up #2 is live: Cartier Ballon Bleu vs. IWC Portuguese Chrono.

Click here to vote in our poll.

This one could be interesting. The Ballon Bleu is HOT with celebrities...and the IWC Portuguese Chrono is very popular with watch enthusiasts.

 

[ulackfocus]

Another no-brainer landslide. Celebrities don't know their arse from a hole in the ground when it comes to watches. They only know the name brand.

 

[eRelyx]

How about this for the final match-up of the day?!?!

Match-up #3 - Rolex Daytona vs. IWC Portuguese Yacht Club.

That's an interesting match-up of two nice watches from different categories. The voting should be close.

 

[eRelyx]

Friday's 2PM match-up is live.

Omega Speedmaster vs. Bell & Ross BR03-92.

(I have a feeling that this one might be equivalent to a 1 seed vs. a 16 seed, but we will see!)

[eRelyx]

This should be an interesting first round match-up!! Panerai Luminor Marina vs. Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph.

Both are very popular watches. Which one will prevail?

[ulackfocus]

I want to know how 23.8% of the vote so far went to a Bell & Ross monstrosity over one of the most iconic watches ever made. Are there really that many philistines among us? :confused1:
