Well done guys!!!

The winner will be in the newsletter as usual.

@BigIona has very kindly agreed to be this weeks theme setter and judge, so I shall let him reveal his choice in the comments below, but first, I would like your help.

I'm looking for any suggestions as to what else people would find fun or useful to have in these weekly posts. We can absolutely continue to have these weekly themes and contests, but is there anything that people would like to add into the mix? Let me know.

And now onto this weeks contest!

Notes for Newcomers:

If you are new to this thread and enjoy photography then feel free to post your pictures! We run a fresh photography thread each week, starting on the Sunday, and have a guest judge set the theme and pick winners each week. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you wish with a connection to that weeks theme. The runners up will be mentioned in the following weeks thread and the winner gets a mention and their winning photo in the weekly newsletter.

The winner even gets an exclusive 'Winners Badge' for their WC profile!

Good luck and have fun everyone!

Thanks for the honor of being a guest judge @Deeperblue!! Very excited to participate.

For my theme I’ve decided to go with “Tool watches tooling”. I’ll leave it open to interpretation. It could be a tool watch in its intended element (Dive watch diving, field watch in the field, pilot’s watch in the cockpit, etc) or just you wearing your watch while using tools. Or other fun interpretations my feeble mind can’t contemplate!!

Have at it crunchers!!

Old photo but here's a tool watch tooling in its man-made unnatural environment, let me see if I can snap a pic of a dress watch dressing? sometime this week 😂

A 'dress watch dressing' post sounds like something that may get band 😆

Haha, he was still looking for the perfect spot in this photo. But it does look like an @HotWatchChick69 style photo.

If we ever let him pick the theme I’m guessing we know what he will chose.

This is the tool watch I typically wear while taming wild animals.

Oh, I didn't mention that I have a sideline business as a wild animal trainer?

Really regretting not getting a photo last summer using one of my 300m divers in the kiddie pool with my son.

Here's a couple I had on the phone but I'll try to come up with something good this week.

Is that a cue for some more 'dressing' Daphne style 😱 I hope not for everyone's sake😆

A non-dresswatch not dress-ing? I need to think more about this one.

A tool tool-watching doesn’t count.

But that doggie is so darn cute!

Pleased to have been chosen as a runner up for last weeks contest.

Here's my lame attempt for this weeks tougher "Tool watches tooling" challenge. It's me using my Brew Metric Gold chrono to time how long it takes me to boil water for my coffee. Other variants of the Brew Metric watches typically include special markers to show optimal times for an espresso shot, but since I just drink plain old pour over black coffee, this new Metric Gold without those markers works just as well.

It's all about living life like it isn't a rehearsal. And knowing what tool is right for the job 😃

See... I saw this in the context of 'tool watch tooling' and thought.... 'Dog watch... dogging?'..... maybe that means something else in the UK than it does in the US 😆
