I split my time between Houston and NYC. Could use a few more of us in the Lone Star.

BY STATE / REGION

Beautiful California, with 18 members remains the most represented state or region in OF world. New York and Texas round out the top three with 13 and 10 respectively.

Further to the north, Ontario bested British Columbia with 7 members to their (unchanged from last count) 6.

BY CITY

New York City sits at the top with 8, but London is keeping it close with 6. Singapore and Vancouver can each claim 5, while Chicago, Boston and Toronto each have 4.

Most other cities with more than one member could still host their GTG's on a two-man bicycle (‡) ... Including Copenhagen, Houston, Nashville and Madrid.

CONCLUSIONS

If you are reading this message and are regularly reading/participating in this forum, you are part of an outstanding and truly global community of watch nerds. Good on you.

Members in The United States continue to be well represented, where Texas made the most gains at the state level. The UK came on strong to overtake Canada, while Germany just pulled one ahead of Australia.

Remarkably, still zero (0) members pinned in Russia or China. Not to say we don't have any – just no pins to show for them. Italy and France also continue to show poorly, ...yet another casualty of the misguided decision to dub instead of subtitle all English language film and television – a disadvantage their German counterparts managed to overcome.

It's worth remembering this is not an accurate or scientific representation of all registered OF members. Far from it. We are looking at a small subset of members who cared enough to pin themselves for the purpose of strengthening what is a pretty remarkable community.

Dropping a pin can help to better facilitate area GTGs, face to face transactions, ...and can improve the odds of your helping or of being helped to navigate a general "oh shit" moment like this one. What comes around goes around.

So if you're a newly active member and you're so inclined, it would be great to see some more pins dropped. Here is some general guidance as to what this is all about and exactly how to do it. But please, remember, ...no home addresses.

Anonymous pins were culled for this last count and will be regularly removed going forward. Anyone needing an outdated pin removed DM me if you've forgotten your login details and can't make it happen on your own.

* 4 if I were to count myself twice
Pretty sure this was @Barking mad and that he jumped ship
I'd still like photos of this

I love this map! Thx a lot for setting this up @trackpad.

I was so excited when I saw you counted 2 pins in the Netherlands, but to my disappointment I'm still the only & lonely pin

"Wake up Dutchies!!!"

I will be in Stockholm Sweden next week so thought I’d check out how many local members are ‘pinned’... thought I’d bump this thread to the top!
