Oliver has delivered a decision . . .
. . . for Watch of the Week.
"Hi Art,
My first impression after seeing all those nice contributions, emotions and wishes seemed to be easy to judge.
First impression was that no one can beat Nico's picture this week, especially because of the 'Anniversary' explanations.
Of course the beautiful taken picture and chosen watch helped also - even when I don't know the reference!
After a second thought, it was Sanro's Chopard . . .
. . . which got my attention. To me it was a surprise and a nice one.
My final decision for the watch of the week is a watch that shows the 'essence' of a (matured) watch collectors dream.
It is not the most beautiful picture of the week, but a drop dead gorgeous watch. For sure it can be appreciated by purists, connoisseurs . . .
Most of you will already know what I am talking about . . .
. . . THE AP Grand Sonnerie, from pplater.
HAGWE,
Oliver"
This is one of those decisions that no one will take issue with. Thanks, Oliver!

Messrs A and P...
...are most obliged for Oliver's very kind words. It is almost a tragedy that comparatively so few watches are this 'pure' in design; it is humbling to have the honour of caring for one. Cheers, pplater.
Could not agree more!
Great pics this week - pplaters Grand Sonnerie is just a dream watch! Congrats to all the winners! Best Blomman
The verdict for Static Photo . . .
. . . is similarly beyond doubt. "Art, I think Nilo's photo is deserving of recognition this week. In addition to its subject, composition, and artistic merit, it captures the spirit of Nicolas' Anniversary with the perfectly synchronized , paired watches...
A warm thank you to tempusfugit and all ...
For the words that I consider as an incentive to produce better and better pictures. A great week to all, Nilo
Wrist Scan has two finalists this week . . .
. . . with an inaugural victory for Favre - Leuba.* "Hi Art. Here are my selections for WristScan: First place - Alain Runner up - Caius Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Darren" This weekend started strong and finished weak, Darren . . . too much enjoyme...
I'm happy...
Alain is a good friend and his Favre Leuba deserves the top spot. Best Doug
Thanks for your comments
I'm very happy for Caius and me :-) Picture taken in Dijon in front of the Palais des Ducs of Burgundy. The watch is a rare Favre-Leuba Deep Blue. Best.
Thks Darren for the honorable mention!!
There was an earlier picture taken out of focus that I am sure would fail Art's censorship :)- Congrats to all the winners and shortlisted, esp Pplater's wonderful AP, which he was kind enough to allow me to wear it during his visit here. Best, Horo
An out-of-focus shot...
....which would have failed to pass the censors???? You must have that PAM on a very short strap, Horo! ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Well deserved winners, and a very enjoyable wrist scan!!
Cheers for winners and judges! Cordial regards, Abel.
