#1wc Herculean challenge - Porthole to serve first…
You poor, unfortunate soul(s)
Heracles 9th Labour was to obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazon. A girdle being either a belt, or cord, to be worn about the waist, or an elasticated corset.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to fashion a girdle, to be worn, out of your collection of 7+ watches, with your current #1wc watch as part of the setup. Also, the girdle must be comprised mainly of your watches - this is, by all extents and purposes, a creative task. I will allow for strap changes to facilitate this, I am not an animal. Please keep nudity to a minimum.
Of course, you must still document your daily wear of your #1wc watch with its regular strap, so please bear that in mind.
You have 48hrs from 21/06/23 - 12:00 GMT.
Good luck, and have fun!
You have woken me from a particularly good dream…
Thanks for posting. I’ll be on it
Very fiendish! This should be interesting!
If he has to wear a girdle made out of all of his watches, then isn’t he technically wearing more than one watch in the #1wc? Doesn’t that violate original Rule #4?
@Aurelian?

@Aurelian?
Where did I say he has to wear it?
The girdle must be worn, but it didn’t say exclusively by him…
Anyway - not your challenge - stay out of it. You highlighted the subtle technicality, so why do we bother?

Take your time (or don’t… I’m not exactly thrilled this is still going on).

This has gotten way too technical. Unless one is familiar with the intricacies of the English language, which as a non native speaker I most certainly am not, and reads this correctly (or as it is meant to be read I suppose) it isn't even clear that "to be" means "must be" and not "intended as something to be". But even if you set that aside, if the "who wears" and "who makes" aren't identical then why should the "when it's made" and "when it's worn" be?
Cheers @Aurelian , you’re clearly a creative master of running challenges. To this day, I’m still having to say “No Thank you” to various family members attempting to help me find a sheep to have my watch take a photo with. I can’t imagine what they would do if they saw me with a watch girdle. That story would live on in my family longer than I would care for.
Who’s slaying the Nimean Lion with their 1wc 🤣

Make girdle of watches.
Post pic.
Obey all other rules.
Or don’t… I mean this is all just madness at the end of the day.

Probably whoever succeeds in capturing Cerberus… who knows how this story will end.
Knowing how many watches some of you have, one could probably wrap up a couch in your collections.
The prospect of these challenges is making me shake like a shitting dog 😂
I’m so looking forward to seeing the results of this challenge.
