The winners for this week's wristscan: what watch would you be wearing at SIHH
First, my many thanks to the volunteer judges who offered their help this week: Rogi and Giles.
They will be posting their verdicts soon.
I was stuck in a very long surgery today so I apologize for the late thread.
For the "watch of the week", I am going to step in and be judge.
The winner is....Watchobserver!
The photo of his MB&F HMX captured the theme perfectly. I am certainly envious that he got to go to SIHH this year and the watch ain't to shabby either!
Congrats!
Thanks everyone for your contributions this weekend.
Best, Mike

As My task this week was Static, I felt a twist was in order......
Why is everyone leaving their watches alone at SIHH, the bright lights, new timepieces are just distracting everyone? (This post is meant as a joke only if anyone feels offended by the comments please let me know and I will edit the content)
Yes cazalea, you would be right behind Jporos, but you seem to have laid your precious on some stones, that attract cats...congrats for a great pic and making it into the third spot.
And #1
Took me so long to make this but here goes, while you were all distracted an associate we will call “The WatchProSite Cat Burglar” just snuck in and borrowed your timepieces,
To be returned at the end of SIHH, he is a Purist and knows the pain of living without a timepiece is torture....hence he had a hard time choosing (why have so many awesome
Timepieces been left on the ground at SIHH he asks himself”
To the (un)lucky top 3 (because he is very scared of getting caught, the Swiss chocolate fondu torture test is well known....) Congrats
#3
#2
Yes Subexplorer, Watchprosite cat burglar agrees, he is especially thankful as JLC has never had this model in stock for him to try on. An excellent shot with greenery just love the scenary.
And #1
For men and women who are ever vigilent of their timepieces KMII should know better, snow melts around the timepiece, melting it into the cats hands :o congrats on top spot and a lovley Minerva enjoying the snow.
Of course the cat burglar works for the Swiss watch industry as he leaves a calling card for these brave souls to visit (and of course buy) a wonderful timepiece at their favorite AD until their timepieces are returned, along with the address to pick them up in, because he knows the weakness of a Purist.....once a Purist, always a Purist
Thank you all for letting me judge and I hope everyone enjoyed the little twist hehehe no watches were harmed in the decision of this judging, do not attempt at home
MiaoWOW what a story! 😁
Big congratulations to Mike, Abel and KMII. Excellent judgement dear Rogi.

Wristshot verdict:
Please excuse the brevity - this is being done whilst at work.
Firstly, and on the basis of Jocke's recent post: "My sex life is like a Ferrari - I haven't got a Ferrari'' - my contribution to attending SIHH is:
Have enjoyed your photo's of actual or dream wrist watch partners for SIHH - and based upon photographic sharpness and a 'what would I wear in a perfect world (and wallet) Judge dreaming' here are some contenders & honorable mentions:
The Purists choice in the P15 from Damjan & Kristjan:
Tim J with this beautiful & classy VC:
Mike's leafy MIH:
Two very fine PP's from Joe & Robin:
JLC out in force to witness birth of the new Polaris - thanks to Nicolas, Tyo & Abel - 'The Three Wise Collectors' ;-)
These exhibitions can be enormous & disorientating, so -
Lost in space, from Arie:
Lost in the SIHH halls from Alkiro:
Lost in the dial depths from Watchonthewrist:
Finally, something more akin to what I'd wear - CC's lovely GP Gyromatic - & that has enough jewels to compete with all newcomers!
But there can be only 1, and meantime all the above please take joint runner up honors.
JLC where clearly on top of their 'tribute to' game this year, so a Polaris it is - now which one? A very tough call - but Abel just scrapes across the line with this ultra clear close up shot:
Have a great week all!
