Inspired by Camrok's recent thread (http://wristsushi.proboards.com/thread/19331/photo-comp-entry-thread) , I figured I'd thin the herd with a contest for the group. I take MUCH pleasure and benefit from this group, and want to contribute if I can. So, my wife totally doesn't get why I need more than a couple watches, she's just not a watch person. So, the contest. This watch will be mailed at my cost (US, maybe further) to whomever posts the "most interesting watch-themed picture" to this thread. What is deemed "most interesting" is at the complete whim of my (not watch enthusiast) wife. How this will work? I will show her each of the entrants/pictures posted, and she (with no influence from me) will decide what is "most interesting". A watch of some type must be in the photo, but otherwise, all bets are off. We're midwestern US folk, of an age where a grandbaby just showed up, but other than that, I'll provide no advice as to what she might find interesting, mainly because even I don't know. The watch is effectively brand new. I think I've worn it 2-3 times, and if I find the box (chances are good) it will come with all boxes, papers, and extra links. The decision will be made by Mrs 3Pedals6Speeds after 2100 hours, Sunday, July 7th, 2019.

Having a watch in your beer is not an impediment to enjoying a brew.

Interesting? That's for your wife to decide. It's from the annual anniversary contest two years ago. My then seven year old grandson with a Baby Ruth bar and his swim goggles by the family pool.

Cool to see entries coming in. Some cool ones catching my eye, but who knows what will catch Mrs. 3Pedals’s attention.
Additional note - I have not told her anything about this, and will only show her all the pictures in one go, so she doesn’t compare them to each other as they arrive.

Well, I don't know how "interesting" it is, but I'll throw my hat in the ring and take the hint re: grandkids. This is me with my then-10-month-old daughter (she's 3 now), wearing my rare teal 7548-700C. Two seconds later that sugar packet was in her mouth. Interestingly enough, the -700C featured in my own watch giveaway here.

I found the box, papers, hang tag, and extra links, so it's game on!

You are both examining that sugar packet with the EXACT same look on your faces.
