Amazing. Cheers Dakar, I'll post proof of donation made when I do it.

Birneybau

Thank this post to enter the draw.

G'luck!

Will leave it open for the weekend.

It's a nice idea and if the winners donate to charity, all the better.

Right folks, through the tried and trusted scientific method of asking my brother for a number between 1 +3 (so much interest) the winner is...

Great!
Only just saw this ! Been out in garden all weekend incurring a hernia! Have sent a PM!

Irishphotodesk

Congrats .... just found the thread, and wished to thank people for their kindness.

I have an interest in watches but lack funding, I have managed to sign up for the starlight Kickstarter last year (was originally planning to get 2 but I couldnt have hidden the purchase of two watches on the credit card).

NIMAN

Couple of cheapies that were lying around.
Both quartz, I put a new battery in the Guinness watch the other day, working fine.
I know the Pulsar was working ok before it's battery died, but despite trying, I can't get the back off it to change the battery.
Its sized small at 6.5in.....and no spare links
If anyone is interested in either, drop me a message.

Great to see this thread going strong.

Not for me, but someone would be glad of either.

Embarrassingly, I lost this in the bottom of my locker at work, then somehow managed to lose Birneybau's details in a message box tidy up after he won it, and now that I've found it again, Birneybau has graciously decided to let someone else have a crack. You know the deal, want a free watch, like the post, don't want a free watch, DON'T THANK THE POST!

T-Maxx

I've never tried a rubber or silicon strap so I wouldn't mind having a go at this.

Birneybau

Fair play Dakar

Krombopulos Michael

fairplay to both Dakar and Birneybau for letting it run again.

dakar

Thanks to the amazing new boards dysfunctionality, there are 11 thanks but I can only see 10 names so I'm going to pick a winner before it gets any worse! Basing this on the order of names as I see them now.

Congrats @T-Maxx, you win a lump of finest Chinesium. Pm me your details and I'll get it in the post to you before I lose it again.

hammerdub

Well done Dakar, for donating and enjoy your new watch T Maxx

T-Maxx

Got this in the post today - thanks Dakar!

First impressions:

- The silicone strap is soft and comfortable but even maxxed out it's still a bit too tight on my 8-and-a-bit inch wrist.

- Legibility of the dial is not great - probably generic to white dial/polished hands combinations.

dakar

Yeah, I found the legibility pretty poor too, there’s a lot going on on a relatively small dial. It does take well to lots of different straps though.

Enjoy it, and if you don’t like it, you can always pass it on!

TheW1zard

Stuhrling 371 Automatic Skeleton in Gold. I like this watch but looking to downsize to only 1 or 2 watches.

It's a 46mm dial so not for everyone!

I'll do a draw on Sunday if anyone wants it. LIKE the post so I know who to include.

banie01

Great to see this revived, thanks @TheW1zard I do have a grá for a big watch but I am in thin the herd mode myself at the moment too.

It's a really interesting watch and one that will certainly draw the eye.

Fishdoodle

What a super thread - the generosity is heartwarming! A watch is such a personal object, the younger generation will look at their phones for the time, but nothing quite like a watch.

Lorddrakul

Another one to throw into the pot:

A vintage Grand Prix Super de Luxe manual wind watch NB ** NON-RUNNER ** NB

This would be ideal for someone who is looking to develop their assembly and dissambley skills.

Looks just like this one:

Simple old movement, but might be useful to someone dipping their toe in the watchmaking waters.

Will post to wherever.

TheW1zard

PM me your details, if youre in Dublin might not need to post it!

Well wear

rx8

That's brilliant news. Pm on the way. Thanks again.

Lorddrakul

@Ian OB was first out of the hat for the De Lux Grand Prix, which is in the post to him today.

Enjoy!

hammerdub

Well done Lorddrakul, and good luck to Ian OB with the watch enjoy it.
