There were more Classics this month . . .
. . . than expected, making for an arduous if not difficult decision.
jml's oft-seen two-tone Tradition . . .
. . . qualifies as fun, if not outright funky. Same goes for his JLC; nothing overtly funky 'bout it . . .
. . . but how many '50s watches do you see with power reserve indicators, much less prominent ones like the Futurematic?
h and . . .
. . . Abel . . .
. . . both shared similar JLCs with shaped cases. Borderline funky, definitely unconventional.
Not sure Kristjan's Seiko Disc Burger qualifies as Classic as it's not even twenty years old yet . . .
. . . but when he turns 21 he'll be on everyone's Classic Funk list.
WotW usually shares current production but his Seiko qualifies as both Classic . . .
. . . and funky.
Besides his trove of '70s JLCs h also shared his vintage FF . . .
. . . which scores low on the funk-meter but sky-high on the 'wow, watta watch!' spectrum.
Cap's Zenith Montre d' AΓ©ronef isn't exactly Classic in terms of when it was made, but qualifies for consideration due to its funk factor of immense size . . .
. . . and falls under Classic on account of its movement, which would by all accounts be the zenith of vintage movement design.
Similarly, Seiji's Lange receives consideration on account of its massive presence . . .
. . . and historically notable origins.
K and WotW both submitted Amidas . . .
. . . which are off the funky chart in a good way, and old enough to qualify as Classic. Bravo!
In similar fashion Abel and Seiji share an uncommon Longines . . .
. . . that's both aesthetically and technically funky, not to mention 20th century production. High marks on all counts.
What can I say about Larry's Fortis?
This has gotta be the Nile Rogers of watches.
Finally, we have the ultimate funk tool watch.
Functionality and funkiness meet at their apex with Abel's 910 Flightmaster.
Bronze is a tie between Seiji and Abel Longines, Silver to Larry's Fortis, and Gold to Abel's Omega.

Art for best classic watch and KM Best Watch of the Month categories. Difference between Time Zones and personal/work engagements can delay the work of our hosts and judges sometimes. Cheers! Abel
Abel, sincere Congrats to all your achievements this week !
A memorable win for you - Chapeau ! BTW: nice honors, that we share 2 of our 70ies funkies (E872 - hs & E871 - Abel), - whereby we also share the latter (TV-screen) in light blue) Was a great topic stimulating many great shots of lovely and cute tic-tacs ...

Wow! Given how many great pics of super funky-crazy watches entered here I sure didn't expect this! Such a fun theme Abel! Thank you to everyone involved with this fun contest
including everyone who entered pictures! Thank you to my great car, watch, motorcycle buddy Jeff who's 4th of July party provided everything needed to create some fun images! Also thanks to my wife for continuously putting up with "nope, gotta try again"!...

Nice win Abel! You got the Gold! I was hoping
the Die Grosse Waffen M-B would do better
I think it helps to confirm that it really should be a
more highly regarded watch. But, as I mentioned before, it would be a big difference if the watch was sold not as a commemorative watch, but a real tool watch as it could have been during the period it was made. But, sunrise and sunset really don't change...
Huge congratulations πππ
A watch both funky and with a story ππ»ππ»ππ»
Thanks for the mention & congratulations to all the winners
Another great wristscan! Cheers JML
