. . . not the treble."
Watch of the Week is all about the watch and not the image, unlike Static Photo and Wrist Scan, which are essentially beauty contests. Judging WotW is a subjective exercise: which submission intrigues the most?
There were the usual suspects: vintage 1675s . . .
. . . like Matt's above, and Giles' tantalizingly obscure UN chronometer (below).
(Btw, Giles, nice multiple wrist shot - these are difficult to take.)
Then, there were unusual suspects.
Geo . . .
. . . KCKL . . .
. . . and Fernando . . .
. . . all took the side road. And I would never have expected it from any of them! (Well, maybe Fernando.)
"The total is more than the sum of the parts" award . . .
. . . goes to jporos. Also tops for composition, but then, WotW is about the watch (or watches), and not the photo. These three would make a good travel kit for a Bermuda vacation.
I'm pretty much out of following the latest editions from most manufacturers, and surprised to learn of what must be a relatively new Worldtimer from Patek.
(Thank you both, FRAMII and Julian, for bringing me up to date.)
Abel's modern GS GMT struck as a likely candidate for WotW given K's theme . . .
. . . and it might well have been my choice had it not been for the vintage Seiko travelers from matthewking . . .
. . . and Pierre.
It's a tie between matthewking and Pierre for first, with Geo, KCKL, and Fernando placing equally with their totally unexpected entries.
The '71 Italian Grand Prix . . .
. . . wasn't this close.
