how about a test ... choose a dresswatch

but as you can see I made the brandname invisable

I'm sure some of you will recognize a few , maybe some guys will recognize all the watches
But I'm sure most of you will not know every single watch.

please, do NOT reply with the aswers. Don't reply with putting names on the pictures.

I just would like to know if people would still prefer the same watches if they don't know the brand. I know some guys will always pick brand 'X' or 'Y'

So I'm curious to see the result of this poll, When I have enough votes I will give all the brands

so please vote for the one you like the most

Last one looks the nicest out of this group IMO, based on looks alone...

Of course, I would look at the movement as well and not just the front, assuming you can see the movement...

I recognized a few of them! As for my vote, it went to the second one as I really liked the position of the second hand!

Interesting experiment for those who do not recognize the watches listed. I chose the last one.

OP - after the poll closes, you should do a reveal and see how many people actually picked the traditional favourites versus the lesser known brands.

interesting that as of this post, 5 had chosen #5 and 4 had chosen #6....

i went for the second to last, but, ##5 and 6 are quite nice, too.
