We have had a lot of fun over the last month with our $35 mechanical watch challenge entries. I would like to thank everyone who participated including those that had to drop out for one reason or another. It has been very educational and I am amazed at the working mechanical watches that you were all able to find. I hope that the experience has been good for all of you so far.

Now is is time to vote on our favorites and everyone is welcome to take part. Below is a single picture of each watch, a few vital details and a link to the full entry.

Once you have explored the entries to your satisfaction, you may proceed to fill out a ballot with your top two picks for this challenge.The ballot link is live! Voting closes at the end of the day on July 21st.

Two votes? Great. I assume voting for yourself is verboten?

Redacted.

Please interpret the rules as you see fit. I have learned not to provide clarification once the rules are in place.

Great entries everyone. Good luck.

My votes are in based on key elements in my interpretation of a field watch.

So many goodies! Just voted.

What a great job! Really hard to pick!

This may or may not work. Don't click on it unless you are Watchpalooza

OK, this was an attempt to have live poll results here, but I am still working on it. Animal Mother has a commanding lead with Boston Charlie and Watchpalooza battling it out for 2nd place.

Hey, that’s pretty cool.

I see a white box? Am I missing something?

Same.

Nothing much to miss here. Just trying to publish a chart that updates with the latest poll results. This is proving difficult than I would like it to be.

What a great contest, and what great options! Was that Junghans really only $35?

Less actually....at only €23.16 it was a very lucky find.
