Streamliner FlybackOk, this came as no surprise. The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Flyback was the odd one out in my list. Still, it only took 225 of the votes. But it was a well-deserved win. I mean, the watch is just spectacular - the case shape, the ingenious caliber, and lastly, that sweet bracelet. The Streamliner is a showstopper even for non-watch guys. At this point, it's senseless to pair it up with any piece from the list as it's a winner. And it really is one. When it comes to Moser, without a doubt, this is the watch for me. The Moser Streamlines is Haute Horlogerie at its finest.Certina DS Super PH500MI'm so happy the Certina DS Super PH500M made it to the next round. I have to say it was a close call, but this vintage-inspired piece is still with us. No, the DS PH500M is not a reedition, while the name might suggest otherwise. While there are certain elements that Certina took from its vintage DS PH500M, this new watch’s overall design is rather different. Certina spoiled us last year, and the Certina DS PH500M was one of the highlights. Thanks, Mike, for forcing me to review it. I enjoyed every moment with this piece on my wrist.
