WOTW verdict......

Watches have been weighed....they have been measured.....

Ultmately, the job of the judge for WOTW is to pick a watch that literally stands out from the crowd. There are many ways to do this. One way is to pick a watch that the judge would most like to own. I like that method.

Before delivering that verdict, I think there are some watches that deserve mentioning. Crown Comfort's Gyromatic, JML's JLC, Andy's Dayto (so close Andy), Nilo's image was awesome (but he always wins and if it hadn't been for Nilo's shot, my 1665 would have won in the static section....so, tough here Nilo,....it's good to be King....), CM9698's Comex with the drop of water (what a beautiful contrast on such a heavyweight diver), and last but not least, Abel's sunset shot (just stunning Abel....possibly my favourite image.)

Yet, integrity is required in this judgment. Truth is the Way. Cool and calculated assessment.....an honest evaluation of this week's greatest watch......

By quite some margin, the watch that i would most want to own from this week's selection....and indeed WOTW is the DRSD MKII tropical Patent Pending.....watch of the week, month and year. Yeah, let's hear it for me!!  I won.......yeah. A watch that sits so high up my collection that it always sings loudest.

OK, it wasn't really a fair competition as how could anyone else possibly win when my Mk2 was in the game? Well, they couldn't....and that's my problem, why? Anyway.....

Aggghh....OK, if i had to choose a runner up.....for a watch that i would truly like to own that 'isn't" in my collection......and a big congratulation RG1

Not the most beautiful watch, at least from my point of view, but the coolest picture, even if, as always, the challenge was big, this week, to choose from all the submissions. I have to say that not only the quantity, but the quality of the pictures are ...  

Well deserved and masterly judged ;)
