It’s a lovely thought, but I don’t think anyone should feel under pressure to do anything but wear, and enjoy the watch.

It’s definitely done it’s work - raising over £2200 in 2017 when I won it, and over £5000 in 2019 when the winner of this raffle gets to put it on their wrist.

It feels like a good time to let it retire into a life of daily wear. 👍

Quick heads up folks - the money has started clearing into my bank account (it's processed in 7 day batches, with the last dropping on the 7th November).

Have paid the first £1,000 into my Movember account - more too follow, plus details of the draw!

Well done, and definitely looking forward to finding out the winner. Whoever it is definitely needs to take a ton of pics and keep this thread going until the end of the month!

Dropping an extra special thanks here to the chap who topped up the Movember account with an extra £5k.

He's asked to remain anonymous, however, I wanted to publicly say a huge thanks for your support. 👍

For those that are keeping track, that's over £10k to Movember... epic stuff.

Wow, and I thought I was good for buying 8 out of 500 tickets!

That's hugely generous! Something warm and cosy about anonymous acts of kindness. If there is any justice he would have bought a ticket and will win the watch.

Morning folks.

The £5k from raffle ticket sales is now all in my Movember account.

I'll be drawing the raffle on Wednesday 13th November - looking at a good way to make this a public event... updates to follow!

There's £926.06 sat in the postage pot - so a huge chunk more cash will be making its way to Movember after the watch has been shipped out.

This is the bit where I have to disappoint 292 people, and make one really happy. 😉

I've just drawn the Time 4A Pint Movember Raffle... and sadly, there can be only two winners - Movember, and one lucky watch nerd.

Happily, the the lucky watch nerd, is both a great guy, and a fellow OFer!

Huge congratulations to @larryganz - I'll be in touch to confirm shipping details later this evening... my Oris Diver 65 Movember Edition is now yours! 😎

See how the draw was run, on the Time 4A Pint instagram story
