For sports fans, March means the beginning of the famous NCAA “March Madness” basketball tournament, but that doesn’t mean watch collectors won’t be able to enjoy the spirit of competition this month! During this month, we will be hosting the Watch Madness Tournament. We will be hosting our own “Watch Madness” contest and invites everyone to enter for a chance to win great prizes – yes, there will be prizes!
The popularity of stainless steel sports watches proves that the Day-Date is hard to beat, while Rolex’s Gold President is eliminated by the fan-favorite, the 50th Anniversary “Kermit” Submariner. As for the fake Rolex Chronograph matchup, the vintage Paul Newman Daytona may have prevailed in terms of collectability and record auction prices, but in terms of overall popularity and follower preference, it was ultimately the modern stainless steel and Cerachrom reference number 116500LN that received the most votes.
The Rolex Submariner is a true classic and easily one of the most popular watches in the world, but the popularity of the stainless steel Daytona and the momentum generated after eliminating its vintage Paul Newman dial wrist in the fourth round final ultimately proved to be too much.
Just like the madness of March, there will be a series of head-to-head battles between some of the industry’s top luxury watches. We’ll have a selection of 32 timepieces in the “watch madness”. Much like the structure of the famous NCAA Basketball Tournament, the competing watches will be spread across four different categories: sports watches, formal watches, vintage fake watches, and wildcard watches.
On each day of the tournament, we will update this article with the results from the previous day so you can continue and check the status of the bracket. The finals will be held on 4/5 and the winners of Watch Madness will be notified via email the next day so they can claim their prizes.
Throughout the Watchman Madness competition, we will update this page with the results from the previous day and post them to our social media channels.
