Ha! I wish I was back at Turc's with Art :-)
Thanks Damjan
Come to think of it, I haven't had a beer for over two weeks!
and sorry K...I missed your static shots from last week (of course you would have won! )
Alas, my life is very busy now...
I used to think I knew how to juggle between all my "hats" but I've been proven wrong
Passion is still here but time and energy a bit less. I've also needed to sacrifice a lot of personal free time and spare change but the rewards are great! No new wrist shots but lots of new family pics
Cheers, Mike
...and the picture...
dear Mike is worth zillion times more that any timepiece picture
Congrats and best

Two verdicts are now in, so let's start with Wrist Scan . . .
. . . as decided by Tim.
"Hi Art,
After very careful consideration, I am awarding the winning Wristscan photograph to Ubik's Breitling. I find the picture captivating and very much what a wristscan is all about, looking at your watch to check the time. The balance of the photograph is excellent and the Breitling, proudly presenting itself from under the sweater really pops. The watch is also in great condition and the glisten on the strap is the final eye catcher for me.
The runner up this week would be from deBalzac (Livius) and the color version of his very artistic photograph, it had a very spiritual vibe and the background was very intriguing.
Nice collection to select from this week and it is always an honor to judge work of this caliber. Many thanks to all the participants.
Best to all

I also felt the mysticism generated by the reflections in Livius's photo, Tim. Thanks very much for performing community service.
An honorable from myself for 4Js Vacheron image . . .
. . . which has a quality evocative of Scotch whiskey advertisements.

Wow. Totally unexpected, but honoured
to have been offered the award this week. Some wonderful wristshots and watches in the wristscan as always.
Thanks to Tim for the vote and to everyone else who participated.
Next week in Paris

Static Photo honors have been awarded . . .
. . . by Mike to Vinontre . . .
. . . for this exquisite macro view of his Lange DS, which was also my favorite in another strong field for this category. Good call, Mike!
Bill will be posting his decision for Watch of the Week shortly.

Ah it is tough to be the last judge.
But then again the crop is plentiful.
This new category of watch of the week I am not really familiar with. I guess if you miss a day or a week on the site you can miss a lot.
I want to start with the opening shot. Nicholas with the Longines. AS always he capture the true essence of the watch and the theme Chronos
The next one comes from Arthur AKA horofatigue.
Just a great looking shot with a mystical feel capped with a great looking shirt and cufflinks. Sweet
Finally from jporos just a great looking shot that relaxes the eyes when you view the black and grays.
And from Matt
Champagne what can I say I have a weak spot there.
And from Nilomis . Always beautiful compositions.
And last but not least from Davo. A solid shot for a solid watch.
And daring to be different our favorite Mr. Art aka Dr. No.
Is that snake skin or what? I think that Attila is taking you to fun places.
Now that I have taken you through all the great choices. I can't decide. They are all winners.
I though I could but it is not easy. So I will just go with Nicholas aka Vlad using his Borat TM technique.
The first one in the list.
This is a lot harder than you think .... Watch of the Week????
Bill
Ps.
I forgot this one also....
What a fabulous picture totally killer in every way from kyle L.

You hit the nail . . .
. . . right on the head, Bill. Nico's Longines is an amazing watch, and confirmed by Erich's submission of an image of the 13ZN movement.
I have to admit, judging this category is tougher than it looks!
