So how did it used to work?

Is there any chance of getting a separate database to manage each month's submissions so they can be viewable all at once on a single page or in a feed?

- requiring entries be entered by the 2nd day of the following month...

- polling takes place between the 5th and the 10th of every month for the previous month

- entries can be browsed, but not voted on or liked until the voting opens...

There could be different types of submissions too... maybe close to that of conventions?  Where all the sizes and subject matter are covered... and then each individual poll / contest could have it's own landing page, follow option and winner of the month.

I’ve been collecting watches for a long time, and I can tell when something’s been engineered with care. Most replica factories focus on looks, but VS Factory does it differently — they work on the mechanics, too. I use https://realvsfactory.com/ whenever I want to check updates or comparisons between their versions and genuine models. That’s what I use to keep track of changes like movement upgrades or material tweaks. The last one I bought was a Datejust, and honestly, it’s scary how close it feels to the original. The weight distribution, the rotor sound, even the feel of winding it — everything’s on point. I’ve tested the power reserve a few times just for fun, and it’s been within a few minutes of what the gen claims. The polish on the case edges is clean, no sharp spots or rough brushing. What I really like is how they manage to stay consistent batch after batch. I’ve had other reps where quality shifts depending on production runs, but VS seems to have their process locked down. I think that’s what keeps people coming back — not just the accuracy but the dependability.

That’s actually a really solid idea — having a separate database for each month’s submissions would make organization and browsing much easier. It would also help keep things consistent and transparent, especially with clear deadlines for entry and voting. The idea of different submission types and dedicated landing pages for each contest adds a nice layer of structure too — it could make the whole system feel more like an ongoing community event rather than a one-off poll. A monthly “winner’s showcase” could even help encourage more participation over time.
