Welcome to the Watch Wars Old Folks Home.
They may look ancient, they may look beat up and janky...but they'll keep better time than any modern watch, I'll tell ya that, you whipper-snapper....why, these watches we're keeping time before you we're a thought in your grandpappy's mind.
Let's examine the competition:
First up is Rich.......of the dirty old man variety:
Well, this one qualifies.......It's not a bad looking watch either. It could do with a cleaning (if only Rich had some tiny tools with which to affect that cleaning.....). The band is nice. Very age appropriate for the watch. Once again....when Rich shows up....he shows up.
Next up is Dave....of the Giant loving variety:
Ok....once again....cheater! You may not submit two watches for the contest. And at first I was inclined to only accept the one you're actually wearing on your wrist....but the first one you submitted is a watch.....the wrist requirement was never detailed in anything I've posted...so the first watch is your entry. And what a watch it is!!! This one could have also made a fine showing in the Bling event and the Roman Numeral event. Its sufficiently old enough and it has some great family history behind it. The face is really interesting to look at and it draws anyone looking at it into the intricacies and beauty of the design.....the hands alone are amazing by themselves. I'm not sure there's any watch that this judge could see that would top this. You may have Best in Show wrapped up on this one. WOW!
So then Dave....of the dusty desert variety...drops in with 2 watches as well........you two Dave's are killing me.
So now I'm making this a Battle of the Pocket watches (sorry to anyone else that is submitting entries....but these 2 boys need to get this out of their system......so I'm sending them to the shed to fight this one out alone)....here we go!!
This entry is also quite stunning. And it also has some great family history. Plus...same manufacturer....so Matchy Matchy between the 2 competitors (maybe they shouldn't be fighting because they're basically brothers). But if I had to judge between the 2 Elgin's.......I'd have to give the advantage to the Bay Area Elgin. The face is just a notch about the Desert Elgin. And the Frisco hands win...well...hands down. Don't get me wrong...either Elgin could have taken this one....but they BOTH can't win....so
@NurseDave it is.
Man...I'm glad the weekend has arrived. Need a few days to recover from this Battle.
Let's try Newest Watch for monday's theme (Let's see how many watches the 2 Dave's can get shipped to them in the next 50+ hours)
Oh...and my apologies to
@Majorrich and
@ED3054 (and anyone else that intended to enter today's contest)....this Battle needed to be settled immediately.
