If @Majorrich owns one......
Hmm.. don’t have many “Legeet” watches. So when in doubt… What would our game show host appreciate. Space/Nasa. When in double doubt? SILVER SNOOPY!
Added two links and it’s pretty close. To be perfect I’d probably add one more link and go one notch tighter on the micro adjustment. Those crazy Russians. This is a jump date in that the date will only adjust forward and not back. So you have to keep changing the time back and forth around midnight to keep advancing the date.
Welcome to Wednesday Watch Wars!!!!!! Totally Leeeeegit edition.
It seems there's a growing trend among watch owners to acquire a watch that is of....dubious lineage....a bogus pedigree...as it were.....a fake, a knockoff......most of Rich's collection (it's an incredible collection....BTW).
Let's see these phonies of the time piece world.
First up is Tony....of the I'm totally serious when I say this watch is real....ly on my wrist variety:
Hello.......we got a Rolex.....ish watch to start off the day. Nice one. I like the face. Very pinstrip-y. The "diamonds" really make this one look completely leeegit. And I do like the fabric band. Very sporty. But I have to wonder.....what are you doing up so early??? Get some beauty sleep, my man.
Up next is Ed...of the I'm all about the realness......now get off my lawn variety:
I love Ed....and he knows that....And I love this watch....and he also knows that......but I know this one is really real. And for that alone....I'm going to allow it as todays entry. It's not going to win...but it's in the running. Ed....never stop being you. And keep wearing this watch.
Our next entry is from Rich.....of the wait...they make REAL watches?...since when? variety:
Man, how can you not admire Rich? He's a man of class...a man of sytle....a man of the world, some say.....and this watch proves all of what I just said. You can almost see Rich getting out of an Aston Martin DB5.......perfectly pressed suit and tie.....lovely lady on his arm.......license to kill in his pocket (or at least that's what he's telling his lady friend). When I grow up....I wanna be like Rich. I'm sorry....but fake or real...this watch rules!!!
Next up is Dave....of the only thing Leeeegit about me is that mustache I (probably) had in high school variety:
Ok....this one isn't even leeeegit at all (going the Ed route today?) but this is gamesmanship....he knows I love me some NASA....and he's right....but I'm still following the rules of this here game (modified to accept repeats....because not everyone has 1400 watches like the 2 Dave's).....so I'm gonna have to say Nope. I love it....but that's a swing and a miss. Nice try, buddy.
Up next is Dave....of the only Leeeegit thing about me is my feelings for the other Dave variety:
What the? This does not feel Leeeegit at all.....it feels like an entry in the Heysi would have picked this as the winner on almost every other day contest. Dude.......what the heck?? I absolutely love the face on this one. It's very cool. The band looks pinchy....and with all that arm hair....that can't be fun at all. Darn it......why must Dave be a rule breaker....on today of all days?
Oh wait......so Comrade Dave decided to swap watches and enter a second watch for today. Not only is that a serious no-no....its cheating (and as a former bingo cheater....I approve).
Ok...fine...we'll judge this one as well (not that it will do any good since you've annoyed the judges so late in the contest). The face is interesting. Look at all those nice cities on there....but wait...What is LANGELES? Wanna go and get the rest of the letters for that city name? Also, it sounds like this watch is mechanically a bit of a nightmare with our man Dave having to get up at midnight to adjust his date feature. BOOOOOOOO!!! Who crafted this thing? A drunk russian? Oh well, just don't try to take this thing on vacation....the time changes alone will ruin every day of your trip. Plus its sure to have State secrets hidden inside of it and you'll be carted off to the gulag before the noon vodka lunch time. Kind of like the bad guy version of Rich's watch (are you in SMERSH?? Is your super villain name Dr. Yep?)
Alrighty.....I've just finished having potluck lunch with some co-workers and I'm ready to decide a winner for this week........Its..........
@Majorrich
As the reigning King of the Leeegit watch collection (and growing!) you just knew that Rich was going to be the one to beat today. Major bonus ponts to @OpusX for bringing the the Fake-ex today. If Rich had pulled up in the last few yards (or taken the watch day off) you would have easily won this one.
Come on back next Wednesday when our theme will be..........Seriously, someone throw out a list of themes ....I'm run dry on ideas.

What? Is that not bonus points?
Hmmmm....I went back and checked the details you posted about today's submission....and that fact is glaringly absent. I'm obviously NOT an expert in watches (ergo...the comedy in this fake game show) and I'm only going on the info I'm aware of....or that you provide to me. This loss is on you. And what makes you think I know that you don't own any $32,000 watches? BTW......image of your supreme fanciness....BLOWN!!! (now I have to count on @NurseDave NOT telling me that he's also a cheapskate...don't ruin my dreams, buddy)
He totally fooled me....and ruined his own chances to win.Congrats Rich! I love that Dave's Fauxmega was sooo leeegit it was considered really legit
Not only that, it also came from RichCongrats Rich! I love that Dave's Fauxmega was sooo leeegit it was considered really legit
