Epic? Just call me . . .
. . . Ringo.
Green go?
Now, on to Wrist Scan. Before delivering a decision, I have to own up to posting in the wrong thread for the first time. François self-corrected, but I was oblivious 'til just now. Mea culpa. (And yes, I took pics posted on The Captain's introductory thread into account.)
Contenders:
Alex has posted this one before . . .
. . . and, if memory serves correct, took home a trophy for it. A river resort in southern Mexico, right, Alex? Great shot then, just as good now.
How many more shades of blue could centurionone have covered . . .
. . . in one photo? (Obviously, not many!)
Wavy gray . . .
. . . vy?
(Extra points granted to muhadri for evoking that obvious pun.)
François scored points . . .
. . . for austerity. (I'm big on austerity, in case you didn't know.)
Karlstumke posted a vivid illustration of how disparate a watch can appear . . .
. . . with similar-yet-different backgrounds. (My nod goes to 'bubbles' as the more compelling.)
Honorable mentions: jml for posting a Seiko diver with red ale in the background . . .
. . . as I'm very partial to both, and Brauner for bringing Junior . . .
. . . to the party. Manou's got some serious chops as a budding watch guy, Brauner! You've done well influencing the next generation.
Runner-up honors are shared by Abel . . .
. . . for this picture-perfect portrait, and andyhud for this photo . . .
. . . that exudes relaxation.
Top honor this week goes to HSTE . . .
. . . for this surrealist masterpiece. As soon as it scrolled across my computer screen, I knew this was 'it'.
Oh, and a shout-out to Seeks for indulging my passion . . .
. . . for real pool. Love Seiko divers, and pool even more. Thanks, buddy! (Even if it's not a wrist shot . . . )
Great session, guys, and thanks to The Captain for steering the ship this week.
