Free Retro Seiko Alba Chronograph Watch Giveaway. My way of thanking the WatchCruch Community.
Free Retro Watch Giveaway from my own collection.
Sorry to all those who have taken the quiz already, but the format won’t allow me to see who has taken the quiz, only some personal information I don’t feel comfortable knowing, so I have decided to stop the quiz and try a much simpler format for the watch giveaway.
Again, sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
There are now no rules and it’s quite simple to enter, but you can still only enter once.
Just message me “Why Seiko is the world’s leading watch manufacturer” through my WatchCrunch account profile.
I’ll go through all the responses and pick the best answer, then post the answer and the winner here on WatchCrunch on Saturday the 4th of June. All the winner has to do is message me back and I’ll ask for some details as to where to send the watch.
Sorry but the quiz is for people who collect watches for personal use only, so no YouTube reviewers please.
The questionnaire will start today the 30th of May and run up until the 3rd of June, which is this Friday, so basically 5 days giving everyone a chance to enter, it will finish midnight on the Friday again Australian Sydney EST.
I’m sure I will get some interesting and quirky answers, so make your answers interesting to stand out from the crowd.
This is just my way of thanking you all for being supportive and a pleasure to converse with on an almost daily basis. Everyone I've encountered here shows a high level of respect for each other, regardless of their own personal tastes, financial boundaries and collecting journey, we are all treated equal.

For those that took the quiz already and are interested, here's the questions and answers 🙏
- Which Member Of Royalty Pick-Pocketed Winston Churchill’s Watch?
Answer. King Farouk
King Farouk was a known kleptomaniac and often stole items from guests and others’ homes. It is also said that he hired a professional thief to teach him new tricks. So, when Churchill told King Farouk that his watch had been stolen, the King excused himself from the table, only to return with the watch in hand claiming an employee was the culprit.
2. Which Watch Brand Was The Subject Of The World’s First Television Commercial?
Answer. Bulova
The world’s first television commercial was for a Bulova timepiece. The advertisement aired on July 1st, 1941, just before the beginning of a baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The commercial aired on NBC’s WNBT-TV and lasted for just 10 seconds and cost the company a grand total of $9.
3. Which watch did Tom Cruise rely on as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocal?

4. What breed of dog is my best mate Harvey?
Answer. Golden Retriever

One special puppy!
5. In the 1950's Mickey Mantle appeared in ads for which watch brand?
Answer. Timex
6. HMW Pulsar: the first digital watch, introduced in 1972. How much did it cost?
Answer. $2,100
The 18K gold Pulsar costs a cool $2,100. To put that into perspective, you could have bought a car for that much in 1972.
Just a family guy who works on the railway and enjoys everything about watch collecting including the people you meet and the friends you make along the way. Plus a little bit of banter to spice thing...
Thank you my friend, you gave me the idea and I've sent you a private message to thank you personally. I just hope I've set it up right, fingers crossed 🙏🏻
Omg, I was looking at these this morning when they popped up into my bullhead search on eBay. They look so fun!
That was fun! Lots of trivia that I thought I knew but obviously didn't 😂 First question was particularly interesting!

Imma need a lot more TIL posts... Score of nil. Oof

Unless the questions are along the lines of "Finish the name of the watch brand: 'Grand....'" ....then I don't fancy my chances going by how well I did in Morgans quiz 😆
Incredibly cool of you to do this though Tony ❤️
How do you keep track of scores - do we send you screenshots?
I won’t be entering, because I’m actually trying to downsize and want to see that cool piece go to someone who will really treasure it, but I had to let you know what a generous gesture this is. Well done.
C’mon @TonyXXX !! I can’t answer any of the questions 🙁 can you make the questions like.,”What times does quarter past nine mean in numerals? “ or “What is the biggest watch maker in Japan that starts with S and ends with O?” anyways joking aside awesome gesture my friend 👏🤝

Ok thank you I’m not alone 😂
Ok thank you I’m not alone 😂
I'd probably also spell Seiko wrong 😂
Just a comment to say how generous this gesture was Tony mate
Nice gesture and a cool classic watch.
Fantastic gesture. Kudos and best of luck to all who enter.
I got two on the quiz but it has no way to enter your identity. Appears the quiz is broken?
That was fun. Great idea and very generous of you. Sadly I only got 3/6 haha.
How do you keep track of scores - do we send you screenshots?
You should see a score at the end when you finish the quiz along with a thank you page.
The website does a tally or leaderboard if you will. I haven't ran a quiz before so if there's something I've stuffed up along the way, well good learning kerb.
There's a tally on the website where I created the quiz 👍

One of them is very easy if you've seen Harvey in any of my wrist shot uploads, or on my account page Hint Hint. It's all a bit of fun though and whoever wins will probably only get close to answering the 6 questions right. As humans we tend to get quite competitive some times , I know I'm guilty of it myself and forget it's more about the fun we have along the way instead of the end goal, winning isn't everything.
If there's a next time, I will be just doing a straight giveaway with no quiz, just send me a message would be much easier than sitting for hours and hours trying to work out this software and it still not be right at the end 👍
Fantastic gesture. Kudos and best of luck to all who enter.

Okay I've cancelled the quiz, as you say there was no way of entering any name of contestant ID anywhere, all I could see was their results and some personal info I didn't feel comfortable with, so I've cancelled the quiz and went with something simpler.
I didn't recognise you profile picture mate, you must have changed it to that beautiful green ST104 recently, excellent choice 👍
