We are fast approaching our ? 3rd annual Wrist Sushi contest- each year we have been getting a little more adventurous and the photo’s a little more detailed and participants are increasing.
I have been given the privilege of running the comp this year. To organise the chaos, I thought prizes was a good place to start.
Considering this is our 5th year, I’d like to invite people to dig deep and offer any prizes, big or small.
I’d would like to start compiling a list of of contributors and prizes that we can offer those who win/and participate.
I have my eye on a major prize and have been selling a little off to fund this.
Please send me a personal message if you would like to contribute and I will add yours to the list of prizes that will be offered this year!
Thanks
Cam

tritto has kindly offered a custom leather strap or two. HiBeat has offered a choice of some very nice watch accessories. With our comp usually running in July, I need to get a move on with details. This is a bump for anyone with anything they would like to contribute to the prize pool. I guarantee, the joy of giving is definitely worth it. Thanks Tristan and Jon for putting your hands up early.

pip kindly raised his hand as a prize contributor. He has kindly offered a timepiece from his collection. As you may have gathered from the mail thread, We have this recraft Seiko automatic on its way.  Big shout out to Tim Groundhog66 and all the Wrist Sushi benefactors for funding the majority of this prize. I would like to urge anyone who have been thinking of offering a prize or wondering how to contribute, please contact me. A couple of extra prizes will help with a raffle and any honorable mention prizes.

I'll be playing and playing hard for Pip's watch. That is one I would definitely push the SKX173 off my wrist to wear!  |

I have a few prizes to donate but I do not have the time to go to the post office nor the funds to post them.
If someone wants to step up and coordinate and fund the distribution I would be happy to try and find time to send the lot to them ( CONUS only  ) |

Unfortunately not.
I noticed the chain of command and even "Dave the Greeter" reaffirmed it when I mentioned a story to him and he said he passed it on to the solar panel vendor guy (who I turned into a watch collector and then when I was on overnights doing inventory he quit) who set up shop next door to D28 and Dave's entrance that if you ever need a favor or something from the company be sure to ask the "good cop" of the 3 ASM's.
But still no go on the shipping.

I can do the same if you are interested. What kills us USA folks is the $14.USD to ship overseas. But my PayPal is flush so I am up for it for you sir. Plus maybe only US members will pick your stuff. That’s simple and cheap, no paperwork, easy to do. |

Camrock - I'll commit to contributing a timepiece to the prize pool. I have a few I'm planning on getting out of the collection, I figure this is a great project to contribute to. PM me and I'll send along pics of the watch.
