In these last 8 years, we saw several Community watches, such as the PPRO ABR, the Longines Legend Diver, The Tudor Black Bay or the most recent Rolex GMT MASTER 116 710 Black Blue, affectuously called " The Bruiser ".

In these last 8 years, we saw several Community watches, such as the PPRO ABR, the Longines Legend Diver, The Tudor Black Bay or the most recent Rolex GMT MASTER 116 710 Black Blue, affectuously called " The Bruiser ".

Among them, I suspect the Longines Legend Diver is the most popular.

BUT... I have another guess for the " Community Watch " award.

I hesitate between the Tribute To Reverso 1931, the Tribute To Polaris, and the Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm.

 

 

   

Another outsider may well come, as it started in a strong way, the Tribute to Geophysic, especially the stainless steel version.

 

What's your opinion, here?

Best,

Nicolas

.. due to stories & moments of friendship; engraved in my heart.. As for the others, yes - yes my TTR 1931, with the Fagliano strap is a love, but more a very personal one.. - the recent posts about the Rouge are impressive as well, since it has this component of fun and exuberance, giving her an add'l twist.. If I were to get another Tribute-type Reverso, then I might go for the white/ blue the Choc one ( Guess it's a 1948 series, not sure). Yes, and finally the Polarises- these maybe are the

nico, It depends on your definition of community. If a community watch must be designed after consultation within the community, then, that accolade belongs to the LUC1963 Chronograph PuristS' Edition. First conceived at our 10th Anniversary group lecture and discussion with Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele in Las Vegas. If the definition includes the association or naming of PuristS Edition or some design input from PuristS, then the following watches have credence. GoS Winter Nights for PuristS Pau

I don't think that we have a "most popular" watch. The beauty of here is this amazing diversity. Omega, JLC, GP, Seiko, Longines LLD, ABR, Rolex, AP, Patek, Vacheron, GO, Montblanc, UN, Chopard, Independents and the list goes. What is amazing about Ppro is that no one can identify a common preference. This truly universal tastes is what makes Ppro an impressing place. Looking to my meager collection, sorted by number of pieces, I have IWC, Omega, JLC and Seiko. Do I have any preference among tho

Your définitions are of course, very à propos. On a site like ours, though I was thinking about a Watch which is adopted by a huge number of our members. Hence this small and not exhaustive selection of examples. I must say that your examples are pretty tempting, yes. Best, Melvyn. Nicolas

In the vintage world I have no doubt, the Polaris is the winner. But in the Tribute world, I would say that the TT DSA is slightly more popular. That is why I started this thread. Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
