Munch News & Photography challenge!

Let’s start this week’s #munchnews with a bang by dedicating it to @DeeperBlue! We got a chance to hear from the original editor / Creator this week! For now she is back part time and just peaking in time to time. Here was her post! https://www.watchcrunch.com/DeeperBlue/posts/how-owning-your-sex-appeal-can-keep-you-safe-from-rolex-rippers-and-a-belated-happy-birthday-to-me-who-is-this-339325

If you are new to WatchCrunch and just lurking in the background for now..

Image

I get it! I was the same way when I first came in here to “feeling things out vibe”. See Most social media platforms for watches are saturated with trolls and snobs..

Image

….no fun!!! However, WatchCrunch is a desert to the thirsty trolls and we collectively are always on a community watch for a stupid snob. 👀

Only humbled, respectful views and opinions over here so if you’re thinking about joining the conversation by adding your own personal post, go for it! The community is here for you. ❤️There is also a fun photo game waiting for you at the end of this post!

I can use some help on the #munchnews, specifically on new releases. If you guys see a new release happening and do a post send me a message directly about it so I can add it in. In addition if anyone is running any Watch games currently or in the future put me on to it!

I had so much fun this Friday going live on YouTube with a couple of you guys. And the support I received from you guys during and after the fact was absolutely amazing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of you so instead I create or take on content to show you. 🫶I also will be uploading once a week regularly for long form and definitely continue going live once a week either Friday or Saturday, (I’ll make a post of day and time for going live 24hrs ahead)

And using shorts as “trailers” to the long form coming out.

Great wrap up of the week and week ahead Skyler. It was awesome to see your enthusiasm on the livestream. Keep it up, you got a talent for it. I hope the pizza was epic. NYC has the best pizza in the world.

And TOYS is this week’s photography challenge?! @DH_NYC, my problem is choosing the right one. 🤣

I guess the empire does not like luxury brands. Darth Vader is probably A G-Shock kind of guy.

But it's a cause when Swiss and Japanese brands can unite to fight together!
