I thought I’d start the new yr with a comp. The challenge is a homage/fakie worn in public. time4seiko your post inspired this! For those who don’t own one of these, the word homage must be visible in your photo. The day- New Years Day. Must be a photo in a public place. The prizes. Tissot chronograph gifted to me with an tritto custom band. I also have some left over movement holders and bits from @haloeight (Adrian) for runners up prizes depending on the interest.

OK I am in ! That Tissot is awesome!
So what are the criteria / how is the competition judged ? Or is it a random thing among all players ?
Thank you Cam for the competition.
BTW Tristan I'll be wearing the "homage" I had loaned you in the summer for a test fit.

If I can find it I have a fake Omega Seamaster Professional. If not, I have a Panerai Homage.

I have both homages and fakes. None say 'homage' on them though
While I'm not big on the Tissot, I'll play along just for the fun of it.
Please formulate some simple rules and post them so we can get started

It will be a raffle based on everyone who enters with either a homage or that word on their hand.

If I post a Fauxlex, will I need to write fake on my hand? Or will the fact that I posted it be enough?

How many times/different watches can we enter?

I will be assuming any fakable watch in the WRUW post is fake/ homage. Will be worthwhile to reiterate this in your post.

Rules aren’t really important in this challenge the premise is to wear that watch you are aware will cause WIS (watch purists) to shudder. If you don’t have one of those in your collection then wear whatever you like be it a legit or a mod. In that case you need to have the word homage in your photo.

Ok, understood; I'll write the words and they will be displayed in the photo

Sorry missed your question. It will be a single watch one point entry system. The comp will just be on 1/1/19 and everyone who enters will get a number. If this number is drawn in my purpose purchased bingo game they will be sent the Tissot!

Well Gents of WristSushi, remember the old adage: "You gotta be in it to win it."

Keep in mind there will be 2 prizes. First and runners up. The runners up prize will be any of these offering from this years contest leftovers. Movement holders for -7S26 -6309 etc -7t series. Or a bellmatic crystal. In your post on the 1/1 just let me know if you DONT want to be in the running for the Tissot. Everyone will be in the running to choose from a runners up prize. If you are the winner of the runner up prize, you can let me know at that point what you would like to receive or if you want to forfeit.

Looks like I'm the first cab off the rank, Happy New Year to everyone and hope it brings you what you desire! Now to the business in hand. Beautiful Downtown Kogan, The Pub, the Folex and on the far right the fuel bowsers. The Folex The Folex and the White Rock Cafe, our local postal agency, and that my friends is the sum total of Kogan's commercial hub.
