Original post:

And now for something a little different. I've been homaging @Mr.Dee.Bater 's wildly successful charitable donations for some time now with some success (thank you @JackieMoon_LMS , @matiss , @rowiphi , and @DeeperBlue for hitting it out of the park with their winning bids to support causes near and dear to my heart).

But I've been drafting off of the wake of someone far more successful than me for long enough. It's time for an original design.

And so, I present to you the (near as I can tell) FIRST WatchCrunch charitable raffle.

The basic idea is you make a donation to a charity of your choice (501(c)(3)) and get entered to win my watch!

And to whet the appetite, please see, for your review, the Wise Adamascus AD8 with the stunning red dial.

Why am I giving it away?

Aside from my increasingly unsubtle attempts to encourage charitable endeavors among my fellow man, I've never met a dive watch that I didn't immediately want to buy and then three weeks later wanted to sell.

I just don't think I'm a dive watch kinda guy. I know, tar and feather me later. But first, get out your credit card and donate and post the receipt.

So what do you need to do?

Make a $15+ donation to the charity of your choice (anonymized receipt posted in the chat) to enter for one chance to win.

Bonus points if you make a pitch as to why your charity RAWKS and I might throw in an additional donation to the winner.

Once we get all the names, I'll toss everyone into a random number generator and pop out thhe winner.

FAQ

What do you get? The watch comes with original packaging, box, papers, warranty card, manual, strap tools and microfiber cloth, as well as both straps along with the warm and fuzzy feeling that you’ve made a difference in the world. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, a charitable tax break.

Is this audited? Nah. You're just gonna have to take my word for that I run a fair lottery. Given that I don't stand to make any money on it, I think I'm pretty reliable.

Any charity? For US folks, call it any 501(c)(3) organization. For any non US organization, it will be the sole call of the operator of this charitable lottery (me).

And you'll ship anywhere? Anywhere I can, on me. North Korea, Iran, Russia are probably a no go. You know who you are.

Donations due by 12PM Pacific Time October 20th, 2023. Raffle will be run at that time.
