Judges and results of the WS 13th of April
My former boss always use to quote a verse from the bible that went along the lines of ‘God approves of generous donors’ (sorry for the literal translation). And this week’s WS has shown us many examples of watch generosity and provided many a story from ...
A great theme...Static Shot
For a diminish breed of watch lovers like us, what could be a better gift than watches? The sentimental value and love passing down and/or given by our family, friends is something I cherish a lot. This busy and mechanical world needs more love and care. ...
What can I say, Raymond...
The beer was most certainly not intended to sway you in your judgement and knowing you it most certainly did not Still feel quite happy winning this one - as it has such an intense emotional bond for me Congratulations to Mike, too for his Aerospace win!
I copied and paste the photos from my iPad...it showed up before I posted but now it’s gone?
Can you help to add the 2 photos? Yours deserved it, it pops p on my screen nicely 👍🏻
The only inducement that could sway my decision . . .
. . . is beer. Open tab at Maggie's for anyone visiting So Cal! ;-) ...
That we still need to sort out at some point :)
And cheers to you, Art! Looking forward to your verdict!
I can vouch for beer being the key to Art
I prove positive with these images as exhibits A and B... MTF Exhibit A Exhibit B ...
Congrats to winners!! So nice to view and read about ...
... these watches received as presents!! Have a nice week friends! Abel
My last stint as judge . . .
. . . was a piece of cake. Not so this week. The primary consideration for Watch of the Week is the watch that intrigues most; it's not a beauty contest, per se, nor is it narrowly focused on horological merit. The decision is supposed to reflect our pref...
Superb judging, as could be expected, Art!
Congratulations to all three for the fantastic entries
Great veredicts Art! Congrat to winners!! ...
... and thanks a lot for sharing your watches and their stories!! Cheers! Abel
Thanks, Abel, and to all. All three were convincing, and . . .
. . . had it not been for meeting Z's Mom last year, I might have chosen the Zenith. Or Titus. It was that close . . .
Q: Why is the 12:55 train hard to catch? . . .
. . . A: because it's five to one if you get it.
Wow, thank you, Art.
Totally unexpected but a huge honor. You’re right, this really is a universal watch. Funny thing is, when I got it, I wasn’t too keen on it, but grew to love it within one week. Now it’s my go-to travel watch. Thanks again.
So many great entries and stories
Then you go and choose me as a winner haha. Now i feel obliged to try and post in the coming week, maybee thats not so bad after all.
Ok, so my time as a judge has come so please be gentle.
Given the simple task of judging the wristshot category and being assured that "whatever sings to you" will be a defensible standard if challenged here are my picks: Honorable mention, if for nothing but the choice of shoes, goes to Horo's gift of Bamford...
Thanks a lot for this great verdict, Jay (Eire)!
Worthy winners, all three - congratulations gents!
I'll have to tell the current Mrs MTF when she wakes up: it's 04:00 am here...
Jay(Eire), Thanks for the nod. Actually, if I were judging, I would have chosen Zabreg1's Vacheron Constantin because: 1) It is a sportive watch actually in sportive use. 2) It was gifted by a mother, which gains extra Brownie points every time. Fathers a...
Congrats to MTF on an anamzing shot.
And the story that goes with it. And thanks for the honorable mention.
As I stated above: I prefer your wrist shot for three reasons
Mine was easy being shot in my back yard. No need to climb mountains or anything strenuous. MTF
