Now A Yema & Laco Christmas Giveaway.

Some of you may well have read some of my previous posts on Watchcrunch. If you have you'll be aware that my collection has reached the point where I want it to reduce to something manageable.

I have tried to sell this Yema Superman & tbh I've reached the point where it's more hassle than it's worth. After 3 months trying, I'd rather give the watch away to someone that loves the brand & will give the watch some wrist time.

So if you would like to own this watch, then please respond to this post. Once there are a decent number of replies I'll put everyone's name in a hat & pull one out. That person will receive the watch if they're prepared to pay the postage.

There's no scam here, I'll be delighted for the watch to go to someone that'll wear it.

Edit - Guys/Girls, I have clearly underestimated just how many people would respond to this. Please continue to add your names if you wish to be in the draw. I'll keep it open until 8am GMT on the 28th of November & then I'll close entry.

My original plan of writing out names on bits of paper is truly out the window. I shall have to find out how to select a winner via some kind of randomiser. I'm not the most techy, so it may take me longer than you'd expect. Either way, the winner will be announced this coming weekend & the watch will get sent on Monday of next week. Good luck.

Additional Edit: I'm a bit overwhelmed by the response, I really didn't anticipate so many. Please bear with me for the rest of the week, I picked the worst week for free time to do this. There'll probably be 200 names by the time tomorrow comes, I really wanted those that were interested to have better odds than this. Someone has to win it, it might as well be you 👍

NB the giveaway is now 2 watches, not one. Please see further down the thread :)

How does that work? I wasn't aware of this, so it's something I would do for the next one. As I've made the offer on the basis I have, I'll leave this as is.

Very cool watch

See one of @Edge168n or @Mr.Dee.Bater posts in their history. Essentially, they ask anyone to post a screen shot of a current charitable donation, and they are then eligible. I’d argue it’s not too late

Thanks, I'll have a look, that's a great idea.

I'll leave this one as is. There are a few more in my collection that I'd gladly giveaway on the basis of a charitable donation. 👍

Here's the posts of the charitable giveaway, I'm running now.

Basically just get someone to donate some small amount to charity, post the receipt in chat, and then put all the names in a randomizer and send it to the winner.

DM if you want more details, but it really gets people engaged!

Hi. That's a great initiative and I will gladly take part. Im an expat living in France for a long time ( 12 years). Even though I really love Yema designs I have never owned one. This would be a great way to commemorate my time living here with a great story to tell. My love for watches allowed me to cross paths with a kind soul. This let me experiment one of the best french watch brands around.

·

I’d like to be included in the draw as well. Would love the watch as my old one is on its last legs. Thank you!

·

Vary generous🍻 I just happen to be a big Yema fan without a Yema. My last name is about as French as you can get, Bourgeois!! Yema going to need to get one....Congrats to lucky wearer🤝

·

I’m in. I don’t have a Yema yet.

·

Throwing my name in the ring, good luck to everyone 🥂

·

Very gracious of you Chris! I would love to add a Yema to my collection. Thank you.

·

Don’t know if entry is closed or not, but I’m here!

·

Hello yes! a lovely watch am I too late to be in?

·

Lol yes way too late

·

Again, very kind of you to increase the giveaway. And thank you for doing a nice thing... The world is a bit sideways right now and it's the small things like this that brighten the day.

·

Extension please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

·

Neither winners have messaged me as yet. Good to see some people have a life outside talking watches 🍻

·

Good luck everyone!!!

·

Cheers to you!!

·

Dope 👍🏽✌🏽

·

🔥🔥🔥

·

Thank you @tiffer! 😁

·

So the winners have been in contact & their watches will be getting dispatched to them in the next couple of days.

Tempus decided that he'd not be accepting the Laco as he'd never wanted to be included in the draw in the first place. I have ran the names through again & the winner of the Laco Chronograph was Shio123;
