1944
After much contemplation over how various criteria should be emphasized and before I go totally nuts (due to so many excellent entries!) I have finally decided on placings and honorable

mentions... then I wadded up those conclusions and did some shuffling.... at least three times! Honestly with a strong passion for horology and photography this is fun but not easy. I try to consider the host's
theme, photographic creativity, risk factors for the watch, composition, image quality, uniqueness of imaging approach while not dwelling on my own watch preferences or who's been chosen before.
I'd like to thank Ted for letting me be a judge and my wife (who share's my interests) for her input. I apologize for using screen grabs as they degrade images in various ways but my analog brain still hasn't figured out
how to pluck and move images and know that by the time I figure that out we could be into next weeks WristScan!
First descriptions of some honorable mentions which are all REALLY excellent! SF for his PAM 249 on a perfectly worn, fuzzy-lovely strap, Captain Scarlet's similar Cali dial Radiomir shot where the watch is so
nicely framed and emphasized by a dangerous looking cactus and his creative kalidescopic shot of straps (how DID you do that?) , Subexplorer's cross hatch of 6 beautiful Panerai, Brandon Skinner's pam 372 with a superbly trained lizard who must be happy the watch is sporting calf (rather than one of his companions), JML's shots of lucent links on his Emma diver, Tim Jackson's Ochs and Junior on sturgeon, HSIII's Polaris,
NT 931's entires and KMII's chicken leg enamel dialed Pressage. Maybe I missed a couple but before next week does arrive..
1st Place goes to....
Subexplorerβs Submersible . I love how well this strap compliments this watch! Risk factor looks high resting on that abrasive mortar! Wonderful composition and colors throughout!
2nd place goes to SFβs Rolex GMT with a funky-wonky Jubilee bracelet on a perfect Pan Am memorabilia background!
3rd goes to Brandon Skinnerβs Leonidas timer piece with a strap that just oozes tons of funky character on complimentary marble.
We are certainly seeing βThe Strap" with this image!
Actually I wanted to have at least 3 entries for 1st, 2nd and 3rd as so many were SO darn good.
Congrats to the winners!
