Starting off with the Watch of the Month…
It might be a tired little metaphor but with the entries on offer judging truly wasn’t easy.
Before the winners are announced, two shots get a special mention from me, as the watches tell a story. Many, many moons ago, long before I became a member here and before anything that could be called a watch collection (I believe the Breitling Aerospace was the only one of the currently worn watches I had back in the day), we used to live in Switzerland. Which meant that even if the watch bug wasn’t as strong back then or watches generally not as affordable to me (remember that a good portion o disposable income went for long phone calls to my then girlfriend, now wife, abroad), they were a constant companion in the shop windows and advertisements. And both my wife to be and me were absolutely taken with the Monaco. And certain that one day we would get one. Many years later I still very much appreciate the line but from when we could afford it it somehow never made it onto the list - not sure why. But still thoroughly enjoying seeing them - so special mention goes to Larry and to InDebtbutonTime for the shots of theirs:
Two more special mentions go to Brendon And Watchonthewrist for the pairing of the watch to the steering wheel:
And now the winners. Abel’s Mare Nostrum gets third place this week:
In joint second come Captain Scarlett with this superb combo…
And Terbaboom with the spectacular throwback combination of Polo and Porsche…
And the first place this week goes to MTR’s modernity shot with the Hautlence Linear Series 2:
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone for participating 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Judges and verdicts for the April WS ‘Behind the Wheel’
As entries were still coming in, I let the WS run a tad longer - and have the feeling that many a member enjoyed the theme - resulting in superb shots and some delectable machinery (both of the wrist and transportation types). Even so, it’s slowly time to...

Could you please repost it in the main thread: www.watchprosite.com 6/ A tad late for WotM, as the verdict is already out but would definitely still be a contender in the other three categories, if you are quick 😊👍🏻

CFN - a worthy winner!
A great wrist shot. Congratulations to all the other participants as well. Cheers Thomas
I'm partial to Jags and Cartier...
...so I'd have gone with Larry's combo. And unless it's just reflected light I'd say that's a Green (British Racing Green?) leather strap on that Tank!
Thanks for the comments guys
and thanks for the idea Greg, next strap is going to be green so maybe more BRG then I was thinking, Had not thought of that. That is the standard issue black calf in the photo. Kev
Great veredict dear Captain! Big congrats to winner Claus for his formidable wrist shot aboard his charming Mercedes Pagoda.
Agree with you that this was a most enjoyable edition. Thank you for mentioning my wrist shot too! Wishing a great month of April to every one here! Cheers! Abel
Hello dear friends! Here my Veredict for Best Static Shot category.
Static shots is my favorite category and we received some great shots during the weekend. I awarded a Special Mention to: Our Host KMII and his Chopard 8HZ Chronometer against a very realistic scale model car which looks so detailed and real that it made ...
Huge congratulations to the well deserved winners for Static 🎉🎊🎈
Very well judged as always, Abel 🙏🏻 As for the model car, it’s from AutoArt - their models do tend to have a high level of accuracy and detail obsession applied.
Thx Abel for the honor of 3rd in Static.. And huge congratulations to..
.. all winners and nominees ‼️👌 Great judging by you, BTW !! Best to all & have a good week ! 😊😊
Thank you Abel 🙏…

Thanks for the place and congratulations to all the winners
Think for the winner - it counts as perfect timing ! Cheers JML
