Nothing Says Vegas Like Elvis! and apparently, although sponsored by Bulova, most of the "Rat Pack" were big watch collectors, except Peter Lawford ( who really was not a true "Rat Packer"). I guess being married to Patricia Kennedy had its perks, and he later kicked out by the "Chairman" himself.
To me, The "Real" Rat pack
Elvis Wearing his:
It later went on to fame as the M.I.B. Watch. Was also the worlds 1st Electric Watch.
I give you the Hamilton Ventura - Viva Las Vegas Baby!

I will challenge the "first electric" watch with a sundial watch. Take that for old tech.
and on a cloudy day you have a stabby thingy, and an "Angle Checker"I will challenge the "first electric" watch with a sundial watch. Take that for old tech.

Today's Watch Wars is brought to you by the US Navy....who want me to test some electrical connectors much more than they want me to play on the internet....
Today's theme, The Rat Pack.
Here's Dave's....of the already has too many watches kind...... entry. It included a rather lengthy bit of useless trivia and high minded opinions.....(stay in your own lane, sir!) but the judges finally found the picture of his watch and they like-y.
Next up is Gerry...
Gerry receives 2 points for comedy but loses 3 points for this not being his actual wrist.
Here's Ed's watch:
I'm starting to get convinced that Ed only has one band. Mix it up a bit. Even I'm looking for more from you.
And finally, Rich dropped in with this entry:
Looks like Rich drank some of KJ's sake and forgot that we're looking for The Rat Pack as a theme.....in fact, the only one that stayed in theme....was @BarberDave . Now I know that I expected him to bring out this particular watch on this theme.....but I was hoping to see a few hidden gems. Some old school beauties. Some mid-century cool. But alas........nope........sad face emoji.
So.....our winner today....is
@BarberDave
Well, maybe tomorrow won't be so busy for me that I can do my hosting duties without stopping every 4 minutes to run off and work.
The theme for tomorrow is BLING!!!!

Bling!! Sapphires gold
And diamonds oh ya!!! Or…..
And diamonds oh ya!!! Or…..
I decided to go outlandish Rose Gold and Carbon Fiber. Save the Serti for later......
That would have been perfect for yesterday
Welcome to the Lifestyles of the rich and arm hairless......with champagne dreams and caviar nightmares. Where Daves (plural) enjoy a charcuterie board (hey, I spelled that right on the first try......I guess I'm bougie now) while sipping on a glass of Merlot....with a pinkie out.
It's time for Watch Wars....Bling edition!!
If your watch makes a Kardashian envious...this is the competition for you. Let's see the shiny, expensive stuff.
First up is Dave....of the Bay Area Bougie crowd:
Sweeeeeettttt!! Fancy!!! The face is just a display case for the Bling!! Nice! And he accessorized it with a Tesla...well, that's just cheating. The bar has been set.
Next up is Dave.....of the sleepy barber variety:
Wow.....that's kinda cool. Not what I imagined from you in the Bling department...but it totally qualifies. The rose gold is nice and I'm always a fan of the carbon fiber. But the gold band doesn't match (and as you're the king of the Matchy Matchy......this is an egregious oversight on your part). And I'm quickly realizing that today's theme is gonna be heavy on the no numbers specimens. I did this one to myself.
Well, its noon and the judges are anxious to eat their lovely roast beef sandwich so let the judging begin:
Today's Blingiest watch goes to......
@NurseDave !!!!
Can't argue with that beauty of a timepiece. Congrats.
Ok......so there were only 2 competitors today......guess I'm too harsh on the rest of the Cadre and their watches.....or maybe I went too far with this theme?
For tomorrow let's try cheapest watch. I'm talking plastic. I'm talking drug store. I'm talking kids watch (oh and @Fenster ....it has to be a watch you actually own....mr. cheater).
Until next time......

You do march to the beat of your own drummer......of course, your drummer has been into the cider and is blindfolded with his pants around his ankles....so there's that.
