Only the first person to claim a given time gets it.
The second will have to choose again.
I will try to catch anyone making that error 馃檨

Just put the 720 time values in a spreadsheet column, as you get each entry, put the name next to the time.

If it's already taken, give the member a choice of a minute either way or a different pick.

Let me know if you need my spreadsheet.

*sigh*
When the list gets long enough that I can no longer count them on one hand, sure 馃榾

FWIW my ex thought I was insane to use a spreadsheet for a grocery shopping list. She preferred to use paper sticky notes that she'd lose. I preferred being able to track the history of pricing, availability and quality while browsing the aisles, and run then models to predict my future shopping needs while waiting at the checkout.

You can do the above or you could go the easy pick a number between 1 and 199 that was so easy the first time 馃槜

Ohh I think this was just a pic of the watch. It still needs to run down.
Nothing beats my lucky numbers. 馃榿

Not yet!
Still running, as of 14:33 (GMT)
As more people (surprisingly) continue to show interest, I've wound it up a little more.
The reserve is at least 12 hours apparently. 馃榾

If you want to improve your chances, per rule #4 you can be the second person to identify the brand.
Just tell us what you think it is!
And then you can make two entries.

Congratulations!
You get to pick one more set of lucky numbers!

Caseback and a mystery:

the movement appears to be much smaller than the case itself- possibly 30mm? I am not sure why this needed to be in such a monstrous piece of steel. Perhaps someone with tools (and courage) for case opening can investigate further.

That is the special John Delorian model- the extra space is to hide ..well, we know.
