First of all thanks to all of you that participated in this week’s WS - I guess the topic was a bit different and we’ve seen quite some watches that rarely appear here otherwise. 


And your entries demonstrated that there were superb pieces available throughout the era, Dark as it may have been termed smile

So here are the judges for this week:

- Justice Andrew Luff for WotW 
- Justice Padj for Wristshot, and
- Justice JML for Static. 

Judges, post your verdicts whenever ready!

And thanks for an interesting week to all!

Finally I have to finish with a real Dark Age picture - a NOS, Seiko produced Playboy quartz from the 80s. Speaking of Dark Ages wink

Dear KM der Zweite Thank you for allowing me to select the WristScan winner this week. However, I could not come up with a winner-I have three. Triple winners for August 17th! Boris’ triumvirate of Tudors, that he named “Blue Ages”. Not sure how he got th...  

Big congrats to the winners !

And @my friends Boris and Henrik please note that I am terrified seeing your beauties so close one from each other to the extent that the crown of one most probably touches the case of the other and I could not stand it if they were mine. I know I am sick...  

+1!!!!

The BB36 still has its stickers on, as my wife's birthday is next week. The 94010 has seen active service in the Marine Nationale, so she's probably rather unfazed about somewhat incestuously kissing a Tudor sister. As for the 79090, I got a few years ago... 

You are probably right...

I must admit I have more dress watches than tool watches and as you say you don't necessarily have to behave with them in the same manner… But I told you I am a bit sick and this probably explains that .BTW very nice trio my friend, the 94010 MN looks par... 

Great judging, Justice Padj!

And congratulations to the three winners and the six winning watches

Padj, thank you so much. I am very touched, and honored, to have made your selection.

I just realized that there is a bit of lint on the BB36. Thanks for award, despite this imperfection.

Static verdict

Hi All Some great shots again this week. first an honourable mention Blomman's quartz GP - not shy in coming forward about what was inside! Third was Debalzac's Minerva Elegant simplicity that shone through and as I'm static justice this week - I'm not go...

Hi Guys! Thanks for letting me judge this weeks Watch of the Week, as always a great selection to chose from which makes the job always very tough! I wanted to pick some watches that really reminded of these decades (if someone had posted a Tag Heuer Link...  

Glad you liked it, Abel :)

 
 By: KMII : August 20th, 2018-21:14
I thought of trying something different and we have certainly seen a handful of watches that otherwise rarely if ever make it here

Thanks Abel!

Absolutely indicative of the era.

Thank you!

This is the Ebel I’d be wearing if I ever had an opportunity to meet Pierre-Alain Blum. Many thanks! —Rick

Thank you very much dear Andrew 🙏🏻

3e place is great . Also a huge congrats to all other winners . Great verdicts

Sage call, Andrew . . .

. . . that Ebel's one of the signature designs from the '90s. Marcus owned one in the past, if memory serves correct. Maybe the Dark Ages weren't so dark after all. ;-)

Looking through the thread...
