In training for the 1WC

Already started lol. Had to since work stuff crept up. But will be home long enough to play around with some newly arrived straps before day 0.

Fashion rules can ALWAYS be bent or broken, confidence is key. 🤙🏻🤘🏻

Also started tidying up the ol photog and writing skills.

Haven't decided if I'm bringing out the Yashica GTN....😎

I believe the rules do not prohibit reversible watch straps. Just switching out straps.

Classy collection and different from the usual divers and such. I don't sport bracelets either, however a few as of late have given me pause. As for what you can lose, how about the one with the green dial? Nothing against the color of course. ; )

So last week I did a bit of parading some of my ‘other watches’ that will be shelved for the future. Then this week I’ll be wearing a different strap on my Tudor Ranger every day ending in the bracelet Sunday which will be my choice for the challenge.

I’ve drafted haiku.

I’ve reacquainted myself with Disney villains and debated which could wear the Ranger.

The two watch boxes that hold my collection will be moved under the bed and the Tudor box will sit with in their place until the rest of you throw in the towel.

Ranger on bracelet forever and ever.

This has nothing to do with your post.

I just want you to know that I involuntarily hear Puccini in my head whenever I read one of your posts.

I now fear you may be an Agatha Christie villain, or perhaps it is that your great-great-granduncle was Prof. Moriarty.

I respect you, sir, and I will expose you.

Brown watch strap with black shoes? You’ve already lost.

I can’t really help here. I don’t have a problem wearing a single watch all the time. I don't because I like changing watches, but I don’t need too. I guess I’d say stay away from vintage, too many possible issues. What if it needs a service? I would go with your newest automatic.

I rather think of myself as Lord Peter Wimsey. The music playing would be this:

That tracks. I’m glad you’ve chosen the right path.

🤫😏 Guess who.....?

One gets eventually runs out of the known books and ventures into uncharted waters on long deployment....🤘🏻🤙🏻👍🏻

If I wanted you to lose, you should wear the Kulm

A true baller such as yourself would pick that cream dial, red second hand and the green leather strap.....🤘🏻

I’m preparing by wearing all of my possible temptations except my chosen strap/watch combo. I could use some clarification on one thing…. Lucas Films is now owned by Disney, which of course includes the entire Star Wars franchise. Am I safe in assuming a Star Wars character qualifies as a Disney character, because of course it is a subset of all Disney characters.

first world problems 🤦🏻

What is your preparation ritual?

I did a poll just to feel the people mood on four options.

This week I'm wearing each of that watches to take a decision. I'm weighing the pros and cons of those watches and the sugestions on poll.

and I believe that @Aurelian could adjust rules to avoid that kind of cheat. 😜😂

Man, Good Luck!

If you want to lose take the square one whose band is the colour of tea with too much milk. That watch band will destroy your retina in a few days. On first impressions, the yellowish dial one seems to have most flair.

My preparation for 1WC was to buy a new (old) watch on ebay. Hopefully it arrives on time. I'll give it a quick check on the timegrapher when it arrives. If it fails that plan B might be a vintage Ruhla/MuDu/Nisus/Certina if I feel brave, or a modern Pagani/Baltany if I want to be sensible.
