Somewhat late...
But here’s the verdict on WotW.
Third place for me goes to Mike’s GO Senator Chronometer. 
Second to Brauner’s De Bethune:
And finally the WotW is Mike H’s grandfather’s pocket watch, which I found simply sublime 👌🏻
Thanks to everyone for a fantastic week!

WS challenge “Safe Queens” – Judges verdicts
Thank you all for taking part in this challenge. I have really enjoyed it over the weekend and I think we have seen some amazing and unusual watches. I also would like to say a big “Thank You” to Cpt Scarlet for inviting me to be your Guest Host this week...
WRIST SCAN - i was in dilemma between the unusual Leonidas 1944 from the grail watch Vs the Bernex 1946 from Tim Jackson
The Winner of the Wrist Scan for the 'SAFE QUEEN' week is.....TIM JACKSON ! BIG CONGRATULATIONS TIM !! i loved the personal story behind it & equally what a wonderful watch it is - cushion case, wire lugs, rail minute track & incredibly beautiful dial - a...
Great choice, Mahesh
I really fell for this little watch as well. Perhaps it even makes sense that it lives as a Safe Queen with the occasional wearing. A big congratulations to Tim 👍😊
Ha, now that’s a reminder of a bit of a funny story...
Thanks Mike! That was an extremely good day when I realized I’d given it to you to help look for a strap. The prospect of losing grandpa’s old watch was not a good feeling. Cheers, Tim
Mahesh, you do me a great honour!
When I received this watch several years ago, I did a little research on the English 9K Gold hallmarks to determine when it was made. I never saw my grandfather wear this watch, and was curious as to the story of it. Alas, the story of its original acquis...
our pleasure as Purists Tim...
appreciating great little things in life....i read somewhere recently that remained in my mind - ''little things in life takes the biggest space in our heart'' - your watch is one such ! congrats again... Best, mahesh.,
I've a safe queen story to add to this week's proceedings . . .
. . . from a thread long, long ago. Those who've been here for more than a few years will fondly remember Andrew Daley, who moderated the HoMe forum. He made a comment about 'wanting to take a torch' to Blomman's safe during a WS thread. "That's odd," tho...
Art....
each time i read a story from you...i felt the same - you're a genius narrator !
If 'a picture is worth . . .
. . . a thousand words,' then two pictures have to be priceless. ;-)
Still see Daos occasionally, and heard from her recently . . .
. . . but not Andrew, sad to say. I hope he's well and enjoying life to the fullest.
Kisses back to you, brother!
Hi Nicolas! Thanks for the sweet comment! I miss Andrew too, and hope that he is doing well in Oz. Have a great day! Daos
Art, this place would not be the same without you
Great story 😂 I also miss Andrew. I hope he is well. Best Christian
That photo made me smile, Art. I miss both Daos and Andrew.
We have a great Community here. I do wish some of those who used to post would return. Many current members have no idea about some of these old school Legends.
