@Darlinboy and Mrs Darlinboy, thank you for your generous gifts and for putting in the time to run this competition that held us in suspense for weeks with your impeccable sense of timing.

To the competitors who set a high standard for us lurkers, congratulations and beware, next year you'll need to step it up a notch or two now we've seen what you do. (TBH I'm not sure how to beat standing neck deep in a swimming pool wearing a dinner suit). Meantime my Xmas wishlist now includes:

Better still - send the Judges instead. 😀

Here's a "Pro Tip" for future contestants - there are no rules prohibiting baksheesh.

And even if there were, see my favorite contest rule - #9 of course. 😜

The plaque! It’s gonna look great in my little display cabinet and serve as a reminder that I should really get around to buying that modern Seamaster 300M in the near future ;-) The strap changing tool is a very welcome addition, too as my old one recently gave out.

Yay! My prizes arrived just before the end of the fiscal year 😁

I’ve already made good use of the strap tool just now, and I love the plaque. And a nice card to boot! Thanks so much @Darlinboy!

Yay also! My prize arrived today, and as I chose the ‘Mystery Prize’ option I had no idea what to expect...

My prize is great, and will serve as a reminder of the time I had the crazy idea of wading into water with a tux on! I tried storing the mug in a cabinet next to my daughter’s graduation mug, but no dice - it has taken pride of place next to the kettle 😀
Thanks heaps, this is awesome!
