Mmmmm that would be great pop me in for the draw aswell

banie01 · 03-12-2019 7:07pm

I feel like i should grab a stick and start swinging it menacingly while shouting! "1st come, 1st served!!!" :pac:

On a less threatening note....
Good luck to all, and fantastic pre-xmas generosity from Frank

Fair play Frank. She's quite the looker and I believe this might be the most popular one yet.

It's a shame for it to be left on the shelf, so I'm happy to give it away to someone else to actually wear it.

I've a watch I'm happy to offer up in here if there is interest. A Seiko Chronograph SNDC31P1. Specifically the one below. It's currently on a Barton leather strap (this one I believe)

Almost 3 months after the post above, the Seiko just isn't getting worn. I'm not sure I've even worn it since then.

So if anyone is interested, leave your name in here and I'll do a draw on Sunday evening (8th)

One day left for entries on this watch.

I'll be using random.org to pick a number that corresponds to the list in my earlier post.

I'll try get a screen record of the draw of possible. I can't guarantee I'll get this working as I've not tried it before.

hitemfrank · 08-12-2019 9:02pm

No longer accepting entries. Give me a few minutes to sort out the draw and screen capture.

BDI · 08-12-2019 9:10pm

Just seeing it now and won’t put my name forward. I just look at the pretty watches from time to time. Weirdly I find it relaxing looking at pictures of nice watches that’s why I’m here.

Hopefully it’ll go to somebody who’s into watches and not some bargain hunter that just wants it because it’s free.

hitemfrank · 08-12-2019 9:17pm

So the people who entered for this draw are (in order of entering);

1. banie01
2. Pablo_Flox
3. hammerdub
4. SmartinMartin
5. Birneybau
6. tweek84
7. T-Maxx
8. crow_eat_crow

Using random.org and entering values of 1 - 8 gives the winner as;

Number 3 - hammerdub

hammerdub, PM me an address so I can get this in the post. If no address is received by Wednesday at 8PM, I'll do the draw again.

Attaching a gif or an image didn't go so well

banie01 · 08-12-2019 9:23pm

Fantastic generosity Frank!

Congrats HD!

Well wear, and enjoy the piece

hammerdub · 09-12-2019 9:09pm

Hi Hitemfrank and everyone else, can't believe I've won this draw . I been reading this site and others on watches looking for pointers on what to buy and so forth. I have 13 antique clocks at home and running out of room so I'm new to the watch screen had and my first watch was a pierpoint which sadly now doesn't work as my mother bought it for me when I first started work over 40 years ago. Had a few others since and was looking for advice on something good to wear and this is a real looker and look forward to wearing it. Thanks a million.

hitemfrank · 11-12-2019 1:24pm

The watch had been posted this morning, so with some luck it might arrive this week.

hammerdub · 11-12-2019 6:34pm

Brilliant looking forward to it, I will post a picture of it on my wrist when it arrives again can't thank you enough.

banie01 · 12-12-2019 1:00am

I have a Zetime hybrid smart watch that is getting zero wrist time anymore.
It has a curious mix of real hands, driven by micro electric motors and touchscreen with heart rate monitoring, step counter and other smart functions.

I have a couple of spare straps to go with it too.
Metal bracelet, a carbon fibre embossed leather and if memory serves a rubber strap too.
Will also throw in the 2 chargers, the portable one(built in battery) and a standard disc charger.

The case has seen better days and the coating is worn in some spots with desk dive wear.
Battery life between charges is exceptional however, and it is a quirky, functional and interesting piece that attempts to bridge the benefits of a smart watch with the ease of functional hands.

Will leave the offer open until Sunday at 8pm, then run a draw in the same format as Frank's last week.

I'll add som pics of the watch Tmrw.

SmartinMartin · 12-12-2019 1:07am

Go on so B, throw my hat in the ring. That reminds me, I have a nice new timex I'm not using, I'll throw it up after your draw.

Martin is in

Attached below are some pics of the watch and 2 of the straps.
It is a bit dinged on the coating, but perfectly serviceable and functioning.

I forgot to add info on the watch itself, specs and info here https://www.mykronoz.com/uk/en/smart-watches/zetime-elite.html?

I was a Kickstarter backer, but my original watch was replaced so it's not KS edition case.

Birneybau · 12-12-2019 2:51pm

Throw me in, looks very interesting.

hammerdub · 12-12-2019 4:25pm

Watch received this morning from hitemfrank its a beauty dont know how to post picture but am wearing it and am delighted thanks again.

njburke · 12-12-2019 4:33pm

banie01, can you add my name to the lottery, I'm keen to see how these smartwatches work in the flesh.

'Tis the season to be jolly...

(Not interested in this one myself but great to see the idea kept going.)

banie01 · 15-12-2019 9:21pm

The wife pulled number 2 from the hat folks!

BirneyBau, pm your address and I'll have it out in the post to you ASAP.

Happy Christmas folks.

Thanks so much Banie. And to pay it forward, I'm going to throw in a Vostok when I get the chance. Usually terms and conditions apply.

SmartinMartin · 16-12-2019 9:42pm

Can't lay my hands on the timex at the moment, so you go ahead with the vostok BB.

oxocube · 17-12-2019 1:03am

Vostok you say

Pablo_Flox · 17-12-2019 10:05am

Definitely would like to be in the draw for a Vostok!

Spocker · 17-12-2019 12:21pm

Never had a Vostok before, will be putting my hat in the ring for this one

Roycropper63 · 17-12-2019 10:13pm

Please throw my name into the imaginary hat please!!

Lorddrakul · 18-12-2019 1:14am

Vostok?
Now, you're taking!

SmartinMartin · 18-12-2019 1:24am

Easy lads, he hasn't put it up yet.
I recently bit the bullet and purchased a vostok as my daily workhorse, so I'll bow out of this one, only fair.

Birneybau · 18-12-2019 9:31am

Howdy folks.

I'll bring it the Vostok into work today, upload photos and make it official. Now, what with it being this time of year, I won't be sending it out until after Christmas.

Speaking of which, I'll have yours in the post today

Birneybau · 18-12-2019 10:27am

Right lads (and lassies/lassie/those that identify as women). Here's some pictures of the watch, not the actual watch because I forgot it in my mad rush out of the house.

Thank this post to be in the draw.

Strap is the same as the bottom photo.

Cienciano · 18-12-2019 12:30pm

Very nice, fair play for giving it away. Everyone needs a vostok

Lorddrakul · 18-12-2019 12:48pm

Fair play, indeed. I have had a Vostok, purchased new in Minsk, since 2002. I love it.

It is a Vostok Partner with an submarine on the dial.

It has the 2416B auto movement and has been serviced a few times over the years, but not a lot. As can be seen, it is well worn.

I completely agree with the above sentiment, every watch enthusiast should have a Vostok.

I'll not throw my name in the hat for this one, but whoever gets it, gets a great watch.

hoganj · 18-12-2019 12:59pm

Thats a good looking watch, especially on the Nato. Best of luck to everyone in the draw!
I'll have to take a look at these Vostoks...

Pablo_Flox · 18-12-2019 2:16pm

I'm definitely in for this one, I have had a vostok on my wish-list for a long time now. A great give awayBirneybau!

blue5000 · 19-12-2019 12:35am

Birneybau very generous of you, count me in as I've never had one.

Birneybau · 19-12-2019 12:09pm

Thanks a lot Banie, arrived today. It's very interesting, just charging it now.

Might add the watch on the right into the draw as well.

Anyway, I'll do my draw on Monday, it's gonna be one of those weird weeks with Christmas and that so will ship it the week after.

garrrr · 19-12-2019 1:24pm

Can you put me down for the vostok draw too please?
