WristScan

My former boss always use to quote a verse from the bible that went along the lines of ‘God approves of generous donors’ (sorry for the literal translation). And this week’s WS has shown us many examples of watch generosity and provided many a story from ...  

For a diminish breed of watch lovers like us, what could be a better gift than watches? The sentimental value and love passing down and/or given by our family, friends is something I cherish a lot. This busy and mechanical world needs more love and care. ...  

The beer was most certainly not intended to sway you in your judgement and knowing you it most certainly did not Still feel quite happy winning this one - as it has such an intense emotional bond for me Congratulations to Mike, too for his Aerospace win!

Can you help to add the 2 photos? Yours deserved it, it pops p on my screen nicely 👍🏻

Given the simple task of judging the wristshot category and being assured that "whatever sings to you" will be a defensible standard if challenged here are my picks: Honorable mention, if for nothing but the choice of shoes, goes to Horo's gift of Bamford...  

Worthy winners, all three - congratulations gents!

Jay(Eire), Thanks for the nod. Actually, if I were judging, I would have chosen Zabreg1's Vacheron Constantin because: 1) It is a sportive watch actually in sportive use. 2) It was gifted by a mother, which gains extra Brownie points every time. Fathers a... 

And the story that goes with it. And thanks for the honorable mention.
