WRUW 1/1/19 happy new yr! Comp day.

[camrok]

To kick the year off with a bang we are having a contest.
The rules.
Wear your homage or fake watch in public... this is a challenge for many watch enthusiasts to confidently wear something that is not real. (However some are even better than the original.

If you don’t have a homage/fake, wear whatever watch and the word homage in the photo preferably on your wrist.

Feel free to write up a description of your choice if watch or public place.

The prize.





Or runners up will get to choose one of these


If you want to play but opt out of prizes please include in your post.

I will draw the winners bingo style at the end of the 24hr period ending 2/1 in Alaska or where last light is.

Happy new yr.

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.

Here's my 31MAS mod, a homage to the 62MAS of course...

After last night I'm not driving anywhere, so in public had to be out in the street...not much happening out there today!

Always been really happy with the modified case on this one...took it a long way from the standard SKX031 case to try and mimic the original 62MAS case:

Well, that was exhausting...back to the sofa!

Happy New Year to all my fellow Sushi Brothers !  May 2019 bring you happiness (which might just mean more watches??)

Here for Cam's Competition making its Wrist Sushi debut, a Patek Phillipe highly complicated moon phase retrograde day and date. Watching the Ball Drop in Times Square New York City, remembering the day me and my crazies attended.

Now I realize sitting at home will NOT gain me entry into the Bingo Draw for the prizes, so I'll check back in later today, new homage watch on the wrist in a public setting.

The extra second hand still has me baffled. 

[camrok]

Here is my homage. I will not be competing for any prizes obviously.

My Sis in law and hubby got this for me on their trip to Bali.
Pretty cool that they considered my ridiculous obsession.

The watch a FUboat.
It’s keeps pretty good time. The casing appears to react with moisture however.
The place: a busy service station where the diesel was cheap and the slurpees flowed

[tritto]

Happy New Year all. May your wildest watch ambitions be achieved in 2019.
I dragged out a fake Baby G, but found I didn't have a battery to fit.
Since I wasn't going to claim a prize anyway, here's my legit evening watch

[camrok]

Looks like a slow start for the daily wears, wonder why? tritto too cool for homage?? ‘No battery’ he says.

[tritto]

Just to satisfy camrok, I have strapped on said watch (a struggle because the strap is not made for manly wrists such as mine) and taken it out in public. A dog walker passed by as I stepped onto the footpath and I'm sure he looked at my fake watch with distain.
As you can see, it's bin night.

Happy New Year to one and all! Still with the Herbelin today.

This is about as far as I’m venturing today.

Happy 2019!!!

Commander 300 for me, obviously an homage to Omega's Seamaster range, especially the Seamaster 300 as seen in the Bond film "Spectre."

Happy New Year All1!

Happy New Year folks! Now while I haven't made any resolutions for 2019, I intend on trying to avoid using nicknames for watches and other words like, narrative, meme, bling, chill* or even ethos which to my skeptical mind seem "trendy".  That said, there's another word that I've grown a tad weary of so let's just say that I am wearing a watch that is panegyrical to those vintage Certina divers that were popular back in the day. Not sure when I'll go public but I've got a whole year to face the madding crowd!




*recently some married friends of mine were dining out with their son & daughter-in-law and at the end of their meal, the waitress asked my friends what their plans were after dinner. My buddy advised that he and his wife were going to go home to "watch Netflix and chill". Apparently the waitress got all embarrassed and said said good for you! My buddy's son couldn't believe his dad would use such an expression. So are you curious? Just Google "watch Netflix and chill". I must be getting old....
