**** More for a score - In it to win it ****

[is that my watch]

Feels like it's time for a more for a score thread. We have done several of these before so the general idea is you buy the best watch you can with £20 or what ever you local currency is to the sum of £20 and then you show a pic of the sale and then when it arrives we put them up against each other to see which wins .. and then you win now wait for it you win the Accolade of every one who was interested in playing .... oh yes no prize will be won but for the shear smugness of winning


Think less rules the better so to the rules :


1) A watch is bought can be a wrist watch / pocket watch well lets say anything ticking and or tells the time can be entered ...
2) can be vintage / new .. or anything in-between use your imagination on this one....
3) postage was a tricky one last time with players from over the world playing... I will be playing to include the postage in the £20 ..but I think a reason sum on postage can be over looked too as we will be playing for fun so why get bother with that..
with in reason of course ...


the plan buy a watch or whatever ticking time piece you have your eye on ( stop watches not sure on will leave this to general census whether yes or no )


Take a pic post it here then wait till it arrives and then post pics and see what sort of response you get ...easy then when all have arrived. I will put their names in a hat and pull out two at time to go up against each other in rounds with one going through to the next round and one not and we will do rounds till there is only one left the Winner


Things that was asked last time ....


yes you can buy none working ...


yes you can have a pop at repairing them yourself ...


yes you can enter them none working but just say they are ..


closing date hmmm hard one will see what the general thought on this is then amend here to say ..


closing date for buying a watch (22/05/2017)

indeed so forgot the badge I designed well I say design found the picture and then geoff did all the work then

missed out on my first one last night a path finder went to high

Can I get a ruling on this ?... Doesn't exactly tick, but it does (read: hopefully will) tell the time....

This may be a lost cause, but it's a Timex and I have a soft spot for Timex; doesn't look like it's been messed with (too much, if at all ?) and is on original bracelet:

It'll be a shame, but for what I paid, I'll not be too upset if I can't save it.

works for me was looking at it myself and the pathway I missed out on was digital so it's anything really that tells the time

have modified rule one slightly to make it easier
