Contest themes will be announced in 10 hours. You may have to go some places you do not want to go. You may have to do some things you don't want to do. You may have to interact with people you don't to interact with. You may have to wear some watches you do not want to wear. You may have to relive some repressed memories. You may not want to participate for your own good. That is why it is a challenge. Jus' Sayin'

So on the pre-event day - wear a watch no one else has.... is it SEIKO or bust? How about CITIZEN, ORIENT, or others? And is the SAME watch with a DIFFERENT dial color still the SAME watch?

Seiko only
NO Mod'd watches
Same dial color only
Same movement caliber only
Just like your watch HERE is the Josef Megele watch but the wrong caliber

I feel kind of stupid asking this @cd_god but I don't see it spelled out anywhere. Where do we post our submissions? I assume in " The OFFICIAL WristSushi 10th Anniversary Contest Thread" but as last October it was delivered to the WRUW thread I wasn't sure if that was the intended posting point. I don't want to get docked for posting in the wrong location so I'm asking now.

Just like the October WRUW Monthly Theme each days' WRUW daily thread will be a contest entry from June 8 through June 18.
Contest scores will be posted periodically during the contest and if you feel you were shorted a point on a questionable post you can appeal within reason (the sooner the better) A point last call will be issued at contest end.
The first day or 2 if you phuk up I will try and remind you where you are wrong or what your post is missing or whatever but after that you are on your own.
If anyone wants to go for street cred try and complete the 5 other themes you didn't do during the contest during the following weeks WRUW June 19 - 23
If the contest ends in a tie (it has every year in the past) a week or so later a tie breaker will be announced.

Every "cheater" get your spreadsheets started now and get your last minute online watch purchases overnighted so that they arrive in time for the contest start.

But first we need the list! Perhaps if I wear my Angle of Death watch to bed, I will wake up tomorrow with twins... which I would not think is technically cheating.

... It didn't appear until min 42 of 45, but that is almost my exact watch... if it's 25 jewel, then it is my caliber... just a different day of the week wheel.
It's a 6119 with a Roman Numeral day wheel and no DX on the dial.
There is another variant that does not have "automatic" above the 3 o'clock line

@cd_god,
Question regarding watches that qualify for a theme but have no indicated date. You mentioned a newspaper with the correct date is a legal substitution. Would there be any others you would allow?
Alternate hopefully legitimate date solutions for consideration (to be shown in view of the watch):
A display of date that a contestant cannot manipulate like a sign board at a public institution (School, bank, airport, etc) - A receipt for purchase of goods or services from a store or restaurant with the date printed on it (employees of said business excluded)
- A photo of the watch in question with the WRUW thread in the background for the day with other's watches showing the correct date
I'm asking because several of the watches I want to use have no date and I'm not even sure where to go buy a newspaper in my town

"What's a newspaper"? asked the millennial. My son encountered a busy signal not too long ago and told me the person's 'phone is broken'. Apparently in this world of voice mail he didn't recognize a busy signal. I can't speak for the Grand Mufti but in the past a wristie in front of today's WristSushi screen would suffice. Just sayin'

Not sure how that works.
Curious how someone is going to take a picture of a burned down building while wearing their most expensive watch holding a coin with a Wrist Sushi screenshot in the background
Even if you were, to say, use your gubment tracking device to show a screen shot 1:) you wouldn't be able to read the small screen and 2:) how are you going to take the picture if your camera, I mean phone is already in use showing the screen shot?

See my response to Jon's question above.
HOWEVER, thinking back to something you once said about me might be the answer.
HOWEVER I can't find the link to the post at the moment since the search engine on this forum SUCKS ASS.
EDIT: found one of the links.
Colour of the day.

cd_god - You're known for your excellent memory so it's no surprise to me that WRUW post came back up to the surface.
Yeah, I guess the website picture is only going to fly if you have a laptop with internet to lodge in between the seat and the homeless guy eyeing your watch. But wait, wouldn't he be eyeing the laptop too? I guess it's just a dumb idea, but hey, I might try it anyway and if I frame it right I get the point. If I don't then that's my problem, not yours.
Now back to the search for a direct reading watch with a date wheel (why don't more of those things have the date for crying out loud?)

How to cheat your way to a win in the Anniversary Contest.
Do all of the challenges between the first day the themes are announced and the end of the contest and then wait to post them once the contest starts.
Just make sure the date on the watch you are using is set to a date between 9 and 18
Hopefully no one here is that shady.
How to thwart someone from doing it?
Announce the next days theme the night before.
But then not everyone has the watch, place, or object or the time to do the one theme (which is why it has always been choose 10 out of 15 that you can do)
So thanks to inboost (you can blame him) I have come up with a fail safe to ensure everyone plays fair and if you happen to be wearing a watch without a date it will validate the day of the entry.
I will start the daily WRUW thread the night before.
I will indicate a number, shape, or symbol you will need to write on your hand. I will also indicate the color it is to be written in.
For example at the end of the day Thursday, June 8th I will start a thread titled "WRUW 6/9 First Day Of The 10th Anniversary Contest" or something of that nature.
In the post I will make a reminder about the basic rules or post the current score.
I will also post what needs to be written on your hand which must be visible in your picture such as "Today's symbol is a blue square."
The colors will be red, blue, black, and orange.
You should be able to find markers in those colors at your local Walmart or office supply store (or same day from Amazon)
No excuses such as "my marker dried up last night" or "my kids ate the paste"
