"Who Has the Best Sub" Blind Rate - Need your help

[Slugger]

Great idea but I see a couple of problems.

Because not every reviewer will be assigning the same values, or value ranges, from best to last, your cumulative highest scoring watch may not be the best. For example, it’s possible the watch ranked first most often will not have the highest cumulative score.

To address this, may I suggest, after you close the voting, you convert your totals for each view to rankings, first to fifth. One warning when you do this, keep in mind that when two watches tie, they both receive the same place (ie 1st and 1st) and the next watch will be two places down (ie 3rd).

Further mucking up your result is that all reviewers probably do not agree on which views are most and least important. For example, I personally would put a higher value on “front view” than “lug engraving” but, if you merely total the scores, you’re giving all views equal rating.

One way to address this would be to query the forum to grade the importance of each view (for example: critical, very important, important, less important, don’t care). Then multiply the weight for each view (using the above example: 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2) times the adjusted scores for each view (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Finally, after adjusting and weighting the scores for each view, add up the totals for each watch and rank them.

Regardless of how it’s done, I’d love to see this become an annual “Voted Best of Class Award” for Subs and other watches as well.

Or he could hold each one look at them all together and pick his favourite. Much less convoluted

In my review, I will show 2 scores, one based on the blind rate average and one by me and I will include my own opnions on each view plus other aspects which cannot be shown on the images.

I see.

I think it would have been quite a vital point to compare the Black Hole and Halo Effect as well. It's a pity that it's been totally ignored

 

[mari115]

Nvm i'll be ignored as well lmao

None of them have halo effect and I could not picture black hold effect either.

 

[puretime]

I did my best on the black hole effect, and you can see none of them have halo effect except the gen.

 

[puretime]

Rounded edges...

Well I see, even if the members who received the ZF / VSF said differently. It's easy to make the BH effect appear in pictures, many people did.

It's really a pity

Thanks Angus as usual

Black hole effect only appears in some specific lighting conditions and shooting angles and my studio is full of flash lights and lightings so it is not easy for me to picture it.

For me the AR color, AR effect (transparency), manifying power are the most important features of a cyclops.

You are welcome my friend

 

[Slugger]

May I call you Angus?

Anyway, I want to thank you for doing this. It’s lots of fun and educational for someone like me who owns a bunch of watches including three Rolexes (first of 5 gens not to go into the business) but finds the replica game fascinating.

Oh well, I just checked my friend's GMT and its BH was easy to spot. It can easily be seen if you are under natural / warm lightning, just tilt your watch and there it is.

I agree with you about AR transparency and magnifying power, but i think that BH and Halo effect are just as important if not more important than these 2 aspects!
It's really the first thing you see in most indoors / outdoors scenarios

None of the reps has halo effect, and since I took all the pics in my studio and I was lazy and I didnt want to move my camera so it was my bext effort to shoot black hole effect.

So it's nearly a week now, i don't see much more vote, what is your bet on which model is what?

My take, based on front view letter order: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...ate-front-view

[COLOR=#FFFFFF]A:ZZF
B:ZF
C:VSF
D:NOOB
E:ARF (easy to spot, best hands in class)

My best combo would be C watch with E hands :D[/COLOR]

Yeah I was expectnig more participation, I think people only care about the result rather than participating in a review, next time I will just post the review.

I looked and declined to try to rate various attributes. Yes I saw some small differences but many of them all looked the same to me.

WTF??? Why did this post my message 4 times? And no way to delete extras? Apologies! System error?

Mine does that sometimes when using iphone.... the built-in forum protection stops it when I'm on desktop. Can't delete them but edit them and put "double", or in your case.. double, triple and ffs. lol.
