🎉 I declare the WC Scavenger Hunt officially open!🎉
Due to massive demand (11 thumbs up on my post suggesting it) welcome to our first ever
🎉Watch Crunch Scavenger Hunt🎉
Everyone can come and join in, whether you are brave enough to play or simply wish to grab the popcorn and hurl abuse from the side lines.
The Game
Each week for the next 4 weeks I will be issuing a Scavenger Hunt list. This will be a list of photographs for each player to submit and the aim is to collect as many of these photos as you can. As some pictures will be harder than others to collect they will be worth more points. Players must post all their submitted photographs in that weeks scav hunt thread to score the points.
The player with the most points by the end of the 4 weeks will be crowned our winner.
Should there be a points tie at the end of the 4 weeks there will be a tiebreaker to ensure only 1 player is victorious.
There may well be additional challenges issued randomly during the course of the week, and these could have a time limit, so keep an eye out.
If you wish to join in all you need to do is shout out in the comments below so I know to stick your name on the leaderboard, and start posting pictures.
The leader board will be posted weekly. If you decide you've had enough and want out, then let me know and I'll remove your name.
**************
RULES
1. All photos must include a watch in the image. Unless specified I don't mind if it's on your wrist or not.
2. All submitted photographs must be posted to that week's scav hunt thread by Monday 7pm UK time the following week to be counted, meaning you get a full week to collect as many photos as you can.
3. There will be a fresh list of photographs to scavenge each week. Photos from previous weeks lists won't score you points in subsequent weeks.
4. In the vast majority of cases I will not accept a photo of a picture on a screen. E.g. If I ask for a photo of a Christmas tree I will not accept you pulling up the image of a Christmas tree on your computer and snapping that. (Yes, I did this in the 'One Watch Collection Challenge'. No, you can't do it here).
5. I have a sense of humour and I appreciate creativity, imagination and effort. If you think there is no way for you to take a photo on the list, think laterally.
6. I respect those who exploit loop holes but I reserve the right to change the rules to close those holes as we go along.
7. My decision on whether a photograph earns points is final, but I will take into account the audiences opinion.
Edit:
Additional rule: You are not allowed to use the same picture for multiple entries.
Additional rule: You cannot repeat the same 'trick shot' as another player or that you have already done yourself. E.g. See Hotwatchchick69s photo for the Rolex Wheel shot. Perfectly acceptable, but as she's used that option now everyone else needs to come up with their own 'trick shot'
**************
The Prize
A coveted Watch Crunch leather pouch which I am happy to post anywhere in the world that I'm legally allowed to from the UK. (Possibly more WC swag also if you are lucky)

I think this one will be more fun for me to watch. My photographic skills are tragic at best. Love that you are doing it though.
I debating with myself on this one. We will see if my imagination will make it possible for a lift off. If so I guess you want the pictures in a batch or is random OK?
Humour a thickie please,who or what is max??

Still working on the steering wheel shot and the food, but I think I got the rest:
2. Breakfast (I'm cutting calories so I usually don't eat breakfast until noon)
3. Wrist shot - my arm is too thick for my straps, so had to balance
4. Something I love - New Balance 999 CNCPTS Hyannis Blue; my graduation gift to myself when I finished school
5. Something I made - A hanger for my sunglasses (it's a charcuterie board with a bootlace tied to it)
6. (IN PROGRESS)
7. My wall
8. My area doesn't really have a singular landmark - but we are well known for our wine!
9. I think Max is going to take my watch

Okay, food and wheel!
Submitting a few last minute entries like a uni student turning in a term paper late with a sheepish grin on his face…would’ve thought I’d have all the 1-pointers done easily but I always remembered the scavenger hunt after eating all my meals and downing my cocktails.
Worth 1 point each:
3. Wrist shot wearing all of your watches (or a good forearm full if wearing all of them is physically impossible)
Worth 2 points each:
7. WC written on a wall in your house

Not sure this would be considered the most important landmark near me, but this is where they hold the Olympic trials for rowing

Where's Max? Obviously he's not in the frame, but he was there! Remember when Max made a video about the Longines Spirit 37? He filmed some if it at a little French restaurant around the corner from my apartment. On this table! Watch the video again or just skip to 3:19 to see Max's wrist on the table above.
