Thank you my friend
I think you perfectly summarised this WS feeling. Best wishes Alkiro
Congratulations to you.
I had a tough time pocking one of yours, they were all so good. The last one was closest, but I liked the stack too much.
Wow, many thanks my friend for this true honour.
I want to thank you all Purists for this incredible WS. The level is higher and higher week after week... and that\'s so cool ;-) Best wishes Alkiro PS: if it\'s my precious, don\'t tell me that I\'m Gollum

Thank you for the kind words.
This really was difficult, as each of over 100 photos was a piece of art (not to mention the watches themselves).
Watch of the Week Verdict by Mark in Paris
Hi everyone, First a huge thank you for this great theme, the watches posted for this week-end were particularly enjoyable to admire. Usually, like I did in the past, I start to download the pictures I like and that are related to the theme to make a firs...
Congrats to our serial winner and his amazing sub
And thank you Mark for making truly hard decision this week Cheers D
thanks so much my friend
you made my month to win this amazing week's wristscan... YES !!!!!!!
Just so you know, I was actually torn between 3 of your photos.
So, you really outdid yourself.
That just isn't Watch of the Week........
Watch of the Decade moreover. Absolutely STUNNING picture.
Congrats Judge Mark for your decision and to the winner CH9698 for his...
... awesome shot of such beautiful 5513 example. I have an special fondness for the reference 5513 being my first Rolex and my first serious watch which I received in 1966, and when I viewed this picture during the week end I kept breathless: it gave me t...
I sent earlier my verdict to Mr. Moderator
Today my youngest has her 3 years birthday and I had to rush to meet all the relatives I would not like to see. When Ares501 will publish my verdict, I hope I will not be shot. Thanks and best, Kari
.....love it: "rush to meet all the relatives I would not like to see"..., how brilliant is this one!!!!!!!
Take a good sip of something strong, it might help. Cheers, HSTE
I took an own bottle of whisky
and my wife promised to drive us back. Imagine: mother-in-law, father-in-low, brother-in-law... Can it get any worse? Kari
I once had great in-laws
But after that I had plain bad luck. Luckily my in-laws live far away (40 km, 45 mins drive) meaning that I meet them just a couple of times per year. Birthdays and Christmas are the only mandatory "parties". Anyhow, the good news is that my wife promised...
Wrist Scan Verdict by Kari
Gentlemen after problems with PM system verdict by our third judge just arrived on personal email Quote: "What a fantastic week - over 500 posts in Wristscan! I had a big challenge to choose the winner. First of all, I tried to close my eyes from Patek Ph...
There is justice after all :)
Great verdict Kari Absolutely deserved on both counts or better split counts And that's a wrap folks Once more I'll cherish this weekend forever Once again Purists camaraderie at its best There is no place like HoMe Yours cordially D
Kari....
In my humble opinion, you made the right call. Naturally happy to have picked up a medal. Congrats to Dom too.....a split decision is rather a propos.
As i said, your wristshot is amazing.
The photo aspect and the angle, I can only dream of creating something like that.
Thank you Kari, thank you Baron!
Nothing better than sharing a medal with another Patek split... the more so if the other one is from Baron! Hats off! I am very honored!
It wasn't easy to judge for sure but...
...excellent judgement by Kari. Huge congrats to both winners Joe and Dom, as well as to all participants.
Congrats Judge Kari and congrats to Joe and dom007 for their wonderful shots and watches!!...
... both fabulous examples of black dial watches superbly shot! Congrats to our friend Damjan for his idea of this black dial theme and the record braking quantity and quality of pictures his idea brought! Cheers! Abel
