Static Photo verdict is in....

"Hi Ken and all,
Happy Valentine's Day! A blessed day of consumer culture, a holiday literally invented to make us spend money. As if I needed pushing!
So many great Static Photos this week. For me, there are several considerations to think about when trying to decided a winner between a group of great entries - the photo composition, the relatedness to the weekly theme, and the watch itself. With these in mind, honorable mentions go to:
Matt S for his gorgeous Sub on burlap sack. This watch and photo composition scream vintage romanticism. If the weekly theme was "Rustic Romance", this would be the clear winner.
Martin's Rouge Reverso hit the weekly theme out of the park. This must be the quintessential Valentine's Day watch. JLC may want to contact Martin to request photo licensing for an upcoming advertising campaign.
My pic for Static Photo goes to Nilo, who has never won a Wrist Scan weekly contest before. Oh no wait, he's won like a thousand. But there is a reason he has won so many - his entries hit on all the important considerations very well. His E861 Memo is perfectly captured atop hand carved wood, is a perfectly preserved vintage piece of importance, and comes with a romantic story of a wife's affection.
Bing bing bing, we have a winner! (I love both static entries, but will go with the macro shot b/c we can better appreciate that great dial).
Thanks!
Matt"
Wow, Nilo - already double crown!
Thanks Matt, congrats, Nilo!
