One Watch Challenge Update: Once More With Feeling

I try to give an update whenever there is lots of movement in the old 1WC. We had a few notable dropouts (I don't count myself): @Deeperblue, @Mike_2, and @skydave saw the futility of staying in. I think @Puffin did too, although he has actually followed the rules to this point. Great competitors all.

Image

Yes, this is the hard part. Some of you are no longer in the game. Either I am getting better at this or you are getting worse. One of you failed to put your chances of winning into the Saturday WRUW post. The rest failed to notice the Grand Seiko dial post. The #1wc hashtag was used. Some got it almost immediately. The deadline for compliance was the posting of this update. It is after 9:30 EDT. That rule was live on Saturday morning. Oh well. This is the list of those who are still in (in no particular order):

@Fieldwalker

@Bayl61

@Porthole*

@JBird7986

@GasWorks

@brianmp21

@Kclouis

@UtahExplorer

@thorhodes

@accutron

@illu.Lasers

That's the list. We dropped from 26 this weekend to 11.

Well, since you have read this far, why not drop a rule?

Image

The day after tomorrow, Wednesday, this rule is in effect. It is only for this coming Wednesday. If you are in the 1WC you will refrain from posting or commenting on WatchCrunch until it is Thursday PDT. No WRUW post on Wednesday. Don't comment on any thread or post. Don't post, radio silence until Thursday. On Thursday resume following the rules as you know them. Crunch on you crazy people.

You could just post anyway... Keep that streak going 😜 (I think I just have watch envy, that Polaris is a stunner)

hold on a minute. This feels like a trick. The first post says that we need to post in WRUW every day?!? Whats the challenge in not posting?

Heres what im thinking, the rule says we cant post on Wednesday, but doesnt WRUW refresh to the next day at 3am or something? So we can post after Wednesday is over and keep the streak going?

As an addendum, what happens if we get called for the myjourney post?

I think the journey is over. The person who was last tagged is now out.

Interestingly, your GS post never showed up in my #1wc or following feed. Your posts before and after do.

Not that I'm complaining. There's a JLC with my name on it for tomorrow.

@Aurelian doesn't say Wednesday in what time zone. So, unless you are in the same time zone as the one that corresponds to WRUW, if the rule applies to local time, then you could still comply and earn the badge 😉

Yea same here. I had to specifically search @Aurelian's posts for it to even show up. Not mention in my following notifications. Wonder if it's the difference between app (iphone vs Android) vs PC?

Oh well, it was fun, while it lasted. I'll still will submit my haiku. Rules be darned. 🤘🏻🤙🏻 Stuck with this watch anyway till I get home 😂.

Edit: Also been traveling cross country with bad service in areas so maybe just missed the notification too.

It didn’t show up for me either. I think there is an exploit because #1wc was the fifth hashtag (I thought we were limited to 4).

I’ve been obsessively refreshing @Aurelian’s profile ever since for any other stealth #1wc posts.

I don't know that the algorithm picked it up. Maybe @Max suppressed it to draw attention to @HotWatchChick69's watchfest.

Christ man, this challenge really has me fucked up. You got me thinking that I couldn't post anymore until Thursday even though you clearly stated that this rule takes affect for Wednesday and Wednesday only. I read the rule out to my friend and even she was like "Yeah....day after tomorrow. So after Tuesday. Aka Wednesday."

Mamma mia 😅😅😅😭

I mean it literally isn't in the timeline of #1wc posts. That shouldn't be an algorithm thing. I feel like it's a technical bug of some sort.

Given my level of sleep deprivation, I feel like I would have missed something sooner or later but this just doesn't exist as a post for me

I didn’t see it either. I’m glad to have unearthed the rest of my watches a moment ago but we were robbed.

That's the thing. A bunch of us searched #1wc and I'd didn't show up. It was hidden accidentally by the website themselves.

Some of us got ripped off, so be it.

·

It was fun. Good luck to the rest of you goobers. I look forward to seeing non-Tudor-Rangers on my wrist and seeing what one of you manages to keep on your wrist til the end! Silly engaging things like #1wc are fun from time to time. Thanks @Aurelian for tormenting/entertaining us, it’s pushed me further into this site and community and has me ready to sell half my watches.

Yes it is so be it. It was fun while it lasted.

Better luck next year. That Mr. Jones will go further next year, mark my words.

God it's nice to have an automatic, timing bezels and that sweet sweet BGW9 Lume again.

I just described your watch....I'm pulling for you now.

Good luck.

This appears to have been all sorts of torture this year? I'm actually relieved I missed the start! I'm impressed my mate Gareth @GasWorks has made the last eleven. The Welsh Donkey may make the finish line yet!

Who you calling a donkey? 🤣

I thought donkeys are your thing? You do a lot of posts on them..😮😀

Then you check @Aurelian’s profile for posts and run with that. 11 of us managed to keep on top of it… it’s not supposed to be easy, it’s deliberately fiendish this year to prevent it going on longer than it has to.

WatchCrunch has admitted it was hidden for some reason, and I'm following #1wc, Aurelian, myjourney, etc. For some reason the app seems to not like either android or my Pixel. I couldn't even find the post until this post came out.

Hashtags, gifs, etc just do not seem to work. Am I actually upset, nope. TBH DGAF.

I enjoy the phone app, I enjoy this community, and I'm having fun.

I'm not bitter, it is what it is, if I really cared I'd refresh over and over and look for stuff, but I also don't have time for that, so I set my follows, watch the tags, and have fun. If the app doesn't work, that's the chance I took.

It was fun while it lasted. Maybe next time, maybe not. Still gonna post stuff.....

Also pretty sure this holds true still:

That’s right! Very good eye!

In your defense, I had to move back to the web version. The android app isn't fully functional it seems, almost nothing that requires linking works, it also doesn't like if I try to edit a post/comment. It doesn't work well on my Pixel 7 or my Chromebook, or my old tablet.

It's annoying, but Im back on the web-based version.

·

So is this on now? Is it currently radio silence time for all y'all?
