**** More for a score - The old years ****

[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 .... also you will receive a badge only awarded twice before

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 mechanical and has some aged too it *...
2) 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 of the sale if ebay link can do.. 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

* say anything pre 1979...
** their will be a prize now kindly donated my iyonk's a one of a kind hand made strap . so this is a unique strap so good luck all for winning it

or to make it more exciting...
to add the fun... the winner of this competition will get one of my handmade strap, custom made for the winner wrist size and prefered lug size.. buckle and postal included.. they will be in brown since that's the material i got right now.. something in these style and colors..



goodluck everybody!
