Would the winners PM me with their postal address details and mobile/cell numbers.

That's it from me.

Hope you enjoyed it.

At last!

Sorry, no sound, I could find a microphone for my PC.

Here you go, watch the video and figure it out.

For some unknown reason I can no longer play videos linked to this forum. Perhaps there's been some upgrade to my security settings that I don't know about, though I can still play videos on other sites.
Beautiful watch BTW.

Out of curiosity, does anyone

Congrats to the winners!!! I have to ask what is the case reference number on the grand prize? I tried searching, but never found it.

Did not win, but just went through all of your Youtube uploads and they are very calming. Small victory 👍

I was able to watch it, and I am sad to report that neither of us was a winner.

Tried to give YouTube blink in case anyone can't play embedded video, but it just ended up embedded. 👎

But wait folks the fun doesn't end here. Remember that the winners must put up something watch related of their own. I don't expect them to be at the same level as @JimInOz but still . . .

Just my last word as I bow out of Part 3.

Firstly, as @Dero13 was only a second prize winner, I don't expect him to have to contribute unless he wants to do so. Keeping it as a single offering may make it simpler, or maybe a double dip would make it more interesting. I'll leave that entirely up to him.

But @WYO_Watch is definitely on the hook! 😉


While I've been here a while, I haven't contributed as much as some of the great offerings put forward by @Alpha, @Darlinboy and others too numerous to list here, so this is my way of maintaining our sense of generosity toward our members.

I've got a lot of vintage watches and I'm tailoring my collection, so this could have gone on eBay, or been snapped up by a flipper as I would have sold it at "mates rates" for forum members.

I realise that my submission may have been seen by some to have "set a precedent", however I don't want it to make anybody feel that they have to do the same.

And importantly, any "prizes" that come along in the future should be within the capacity and ability of subsequent winners, and we should appreciate whatever they put up for us.

I was one away!!! Congrats to the winners, and to you, Jim - this was a lot of fun to follow!

🙁 I can't play as nothing used can be imported into Vietnam unless it is personal carry. Well done guys and this demonstrates the truly great spirit of this forum👍

This is entirely what I envisioned when I threw the idea forth. I put up a watch I paid nothing for, so was in it for nought. Jim your prize is a generous one but that's all contextual for where it sits within your collection & your perspective on its place.

'Watch Related' is key - no one expects anyone to 'out do' or 'one-up' anybody else - that isn't in the spirit this wee exercise. It's a giant game of Pass the Parcel & a bit of fun.

The only way you will get here at the moment is to dig up one of those boats lying around on your beaches from a few years ago and bring it back😉 Still no airlines allowed in at the moment and maybe until August/September.
