··Melbourne AustraliaFollowing on with this initiative, I've placed it in Open Discussion as it no longer relates to vintage Omegas.
(and I don't want anybody to get confused and think they're getting one of my vintage omegas!)
😁
@nzshadow kicked it off here and @p4ul scored. His penalty (as we seem to be in football talk) was to relinquish a watch and I was happy to catch that one.
So now it's my turn.
The Prize
The item I'm putting up is something I was going to use as a project. Due to its unusual circular shape, the intention was to mount it in a wooden plinth and use it as a desk ornament/clock.
However!
Being an automatic, it would need to be rotated to wind it, or wound manually each day or so. The technicalities of constructing, what in essence would be a wooden watch winder, eluded me, especially trying to figure out how to stop rotation at precisely the right moment, so it went back into the drawer.
Behold, a Longines Automatic ★★★★★ Admiral Day Date with quickset date, stainless steel case with 14K GF bezel.
The lug spacing is 17mm and would probably suit a generic bracelet or strap.
Entry Rules
Anyone can enter.
To enter, send me a PM with title "QUARANTINE", message "your ΩF user name".
Nothing else.
How it will work
I'll put all user names into a spreadsheet in the order received (Column A) and assign a sequential number to each name (Column B). I'll then use RAND() function based on the number of entries to select a winner.
The competition opens as soon as you see this post.
The competition closes at 23:59 Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC +10) on Thursday May 14 2020.
The winner will be announced here on Friday May 15 2020 after I've had shower, breakfast, coffee etc.
