 Sorry for the delay everyone.  Pile up at work (lots of babies decided to enter the world the past 2 days) and computer issues prevented me from posting earlier.

The Judge for Static photo of the week was Andy.  He didn't have an easy choice imho.  Here is his choice of winners!

Well I definately picked the short straw for getting the static picture judge this week...LOL...it also means I couldn't vote for myself..!!
This was a difficult decision so there are several honorable mentions first...
Some of you will understand the meaning behind these first two choices of MTF's LUC 150 and DaveG's Sarpenova KORONA as they both have a Moon on the back, some think the LUC should win but to me it is also a front....this will not please some..!!
Group two is Mo's DB25 which is just stunning but on his wrist, Thevenin's Unitas as it was a cracking shot and Richard N for his Speake Marin as I had lunch with Peter years ago at one of out GTG's in London and I adore his rotor.

However it was down to either pplater for his Resonance as I am OCD for symmetry or Andrewluff for the close up of the Gronefeld as it shows the quality and details which I love about my AP.

So the winner is.........pplater for the Resonance as it speaks to me on several levels and is just stunning in the flesh. This was so close I almost changed my mind when reading the message prior to pressing 'send'..!!


 




Congrats Pplater

The judge for the wristshot of the week was Mo.  I thought since he started a thread with the identical theme 3 years ago, I should honor his brilliance.  Lucky for me he agreed to take on this task!  Here are his winners:

I somehow managed..... Not many dared to strap their beauties back to front,nevertheless here is my selection.... 1)Honorable mentions: Mike's Maurice Lacroix Raymond_S Panoinverse(one of the few watches that qualify even if worn in a regular manner..) 2)Second place for Baron s Reverso n1,just exquisite.... 3)My winner for "Babys got back"competition must be my good friends Andrewluff s spectacular shot of his orange 1Hz from the Gronefeld Bros... It was an honour to be a judge.... See you all next week.. Mo

 




Congrats Andrew!

Finally, Ken stepped up to help me pick Watch of the Week.


For the third place, pplaters' (9th photo with golden lion).  Lion is sooo impressive and can't forget.

The second place is Andrewluff's Gronenfeld.  I can't get tired of looking at it.

And the top prize goes to Ubik's Longine 13.33 movement.  Truly mesmerizing.

Good job everyone, but those three stood out as Watch of the Week award.
 
 
 




Congrats to UBIK!

Warmest, Mike
