As STATIC Photo judge, I had to imagine an autumn scenario
Driving on an old road, so worn that the banks are taller than I am
I park the Jag off the road and start walking
under a grove of trees dropping their leaves I find a Panerai - oh no, someone has lost this fine watch. (Abel) I put it on my right wrist and smiling, cross the damp field.
and finally come to my country home, shrouded in the mist.
On the terrace, set on top of a couple of half-empty glasses I find a Lange!
Some kind of emergency must have broken up the conversation and the owner (Aperna) dashed off to save a life.
The person's life was saved, but Tony's watch was lost. I strap it on my other wrist, thinking both of these are about equal - I can't decide which goes on left (priority) or right (backup)
I wander into my Terra Cotta Pre-Raphaelite shrine and ponder the dilemma. What to do?
As I leave I have to cross a patch of deep grass. Laying on a rock, as if it fell from Mars, is the most fantastic timepiece I have ever seen. NOTHING has prepared me for this.
The other two watches are placed in left and right pockets (carefully so I can return them to their owners) and I strap on the alien watch.
I walk quickly towards the house, ducking my head as cold droplets skillfully slip past my hat and collar, running straight down my neck... ohh the chill.
I have found Number One. The Ultimate. The Unspeakable. The Relic of another space-time continuum.
But then I see a flash of green out of the corner of my eye, hear a deep THUD nearby, and the sky goes amber. Another THUD and all is silent.
It's a MARTIAN FIGHTING MACHINE, and I have picked up his watch!
A beam of light fixes on me and I rise, kicking and waving my arms as I drift ever closer to the monstrous machine!
Goodbye earth, I hope the experiments they try on me don't hurt...
Your honorable judge,
Cazalea

A lot of fantastic entries this week. Thank you to KMII for the wonderful theme and to everyone that participated. This week was super duper hard to choose the best, and to be honest choosing the winner has/is giving me some anxiety, so here is the honor ...

My primary and grave error was forgetting to mention that your handle SF implied “Science Fiction” and started me spinning that tale... Congratulations Mike
