A Leap of Faith.

I've been inspired by a post by @Deeperblue, which can be found here (https://www.watchcrunch.com/Deeperblue/posts/could-you-do-you-lend-out-your-watches-1wc-update-12014), to try lending out one of my watches to one of you folks.  I've never loaned a watch to anyone before, but I'm willing to try it.  Call it a social experiment or leap of faith.

So.  To the first person who speaks up, lives in the continental US, and can agree to a few terms, I will send this:

I don't pay a lot of attention to the numbers (gasp!) but I believe it's a G-Shock 5600 which I have modded with a blue metal kit.  I couldn't stomach $600 G-Shock, and I don't think they make one in blue anyway.  I'll package it up with the links I removed and a screwdriver for you to resize as needed, and I'll pay for shipping.

Now, the caveats:

1. You agree to send the watch back to me within 60 days (I'll pay to send it to you, you pay to return it) in as close to the same condition as you can manage.  I will not hold you liable for any damage, I just ask that you try to keep it safe.  You know what, scratch that.  Take it cliff diving, sky diving, or whatever.  Have some adventures with this thing.  I would actually love some pics of this watch having adventures, all I've done with it is take it to work.  As long as you don't purposely destroy it, I'm cool.

2. You agree to post at least a short review of the watch on WC.  Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just your thoughts.

3. And this might be the hardest part, you have to give me an address.  I promise not to contact you (other than sending you a watch) or misuse said address in any way.

That's it.  Tell me where to mail it, post about it, and send it back.  Simple.

As noted, I won't rage, blame, or sue you should it get destroyed.  As I said, it's a leap of faith.  So let me know, who's interested?  And to the rest of you, if you read this before somebody's claimed the watch, feel free to thumbs up or comment, I'd like to make sure this gets seen until I have somebody to lend this to.

OR, loan out all your other watches so you have no choice but to wear your bronze beauty.

Whoa, huge leap of faith here but I like it. Don’t even want a watch in return?

Nope. Just looking to lend a watch and see how it goes. I’m willing to bet most people are basically honest.

I'll take you up on this if you haven't had any takers so far. I'm just getting home from work so let's talk more off camera tomorrow. I'll tell you more about the Real Slim Shady and you can decide if you still want to proceed.

Perfect, I was starting think I’d have no takers.

This is a great, and I'm looking forward to seeing the review from someone. I'm too territorial when it comes to my "ladies" so I'm the only one who wears them. 😂

Perfectly understandable.

UPDATE:

Just packed up the G-Shock and will be mailing it out to @valleykilmers this afternoon.

We’ll that’s it, the watch is on its way.

Drums please!

The algorithms suck as I'm only just seeing this. Yes to awesome WC people doing awesome things! 🥳 👏

Whoa!! How come I missed this?? Hey I’m missing a lot of post lately weird??!! Oh man I would have gladly taken your offer and in exchange would have gladly loaned you one of mine in return … oh well glad @valleykilmers chimed in and hope to read up on his review!! 🍻

Oddly enough this reminds of the movie or book titled, “Sisters of the Traveling Pants” I think that’s the title 😁

Like @Deeperblue  I almost missed this offer when first posted as well. I thought I found some deep page since this had no initial takers. 
 

She’s being well cared for and so far the baby blue is starting to grow on me.

I'm happy to loan out this or possibly another watch in the future.  I'm not sure why this idea struck my fancy, but it really did.  For some reason, I like the idea of putting something out there for no reason other than to see what will happen.

Fun fact:  I chose blue because it's close to the color of the scrubs I wore at work.  This was one of several work watches that I rotate between.
