Haha.
I know it wasn’t. Trouble is with reviewers (of all walks of life), at some point they will always do a shock and awe review either for ratings or, er, bants.

It was me though.
I don’t think dissing watches will get me a lot of extra following on the forum 😉
I didn’t walk into an AD, as per analogy, and called the 50th Monacos crap. Nor did I tell anyone who bought and showed it on the forum. I think it’s fantastic so many forum buddies love them and I genuinely relate to anyone’s love for them. They’re not for me and I gave my impressions of them when they were released. Now Rob called me out again 😁

I like all opinions and if it wasn’t clear, everything I generally say is in jest 😀

Is that right?
Er, maybe. If we class Clarkson as a reviewer. He’s Captain shock and awe.

Crazy how high this one scored from the COCO. This is obviously watch of the year? Not one single release is close to this score right

Nowhere near, but actually this score would have put it equal third with the Montreal Carrera and the Bamford Aquaracer last year...

Boom indeed. It was a super close fight for the top spot, now it's a super close fight for runner up!

‘A couple of the members unfortunately failed to grasp this radical new system, with one saying they were all awful and another giving them all 3 out of 10... but we still had a good number of responses that I could actually use and which provided a pretty solid top five. So here we go...’
😁

Can’t believe that red thing won with those subdials mimicking some obscure model most collectors wish never existed 😵‍💫

I own a red thing, and every time I look at it I cream my crackers.

Perhaps it needs to be seen in person to appreciate the full majesty, buxom sub dials and all.

I think the rankings will change quite a bit by the end of the year. My enthusiasm for some watches has been waning, while others have been growing on me.

^ I want to know who said they were all awful?! I mean, that’s a bold statement... like me walking into a BMW dealer and pronouncing all M3s are bags of crap.....

I stand by my ‘they are all horrible apart from the wallpaper one which is worse’.

M3s are harder to rank, I’d probably say e30, e46, e36, e92 and then whatever that gopping new thing is

Absolutely. It's funny how the hype machine is working this year, it's almost like 'create a buzz' make it limited, create 'fomo', release and sell them before the buzz dies off and people have a chance to think!

The year is yet young, who knows what TH may spring upon us, of course it be something ‘boggin’

Yes true, perhaps the upcoming "Dark Lord" will score higher. Or maybe that one will be released in 2022, cant remember now.

the Murdered-out Black version isn’t so bad at all 😉
