Reply With QuoteI'm in for three goes.
No point having more than three goes if there are only three prizes.
Win a Timefactors Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82, Seagull 1963 chronograph, plus bespoke Martu straps!
The 6th of January 2018 marks the first anniversary of the end of Laura’s cancer treatment. Most of you are aware of our efforts to raise funds for the charities that supported us through those difficult times. As we go into the new year we feel that it is time to make a slight change in our approach to the charities that we support. As well as one of 'Laura’s Charities' we will be raising funds in parallel for another deserving cause not necessarily connected to childhood cancer.
In this case we are be raising funds for these two charities:
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is dedicated to preventing male suicide. Like cancer, most people have been touched in some way by the tragedy of a suicide. It is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. We lost our close friend Ian in January four years ago and we remember him fondly. CALM works to promote culture change so that any man considering suicide feels able to seek help, campaigns for better understanding of suicide and prevention, and supports those bereaved or affected by suicide.
CLIC Sargent who provided us with immense practical and emotional support. Laura’s CLIC nurse built an incredible bond with her and restored Laura’s confidence in chemotherapy after a major setback. The value of her support at a time when Laura’s weight had dropped to a life-threatening level is immeasurable. She will be retiring this year and we will never be able to really thank her adequately but this is one way that we can express our gratitude.
The Prizes
1. Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82
2. Seagull 1963 38mm chronograph donated by JackW
3. A made to measure Alligator watch strap from Andrea at Martú.
4. A made to measure Tweed watch strap from Andrea at Martú.
5. A made to measure Calf watch strap from Andrea at Martú.
Many thanks to Carlton-Browne for making arrangements with Andrea and, of course, for the tweed.
The Raffle
To take part, please post in this thread and donate [a voluntary*] £5 per entry to https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Som...ary_is_special
Feel free to take part multiple times and if you are not interested in the prizes, you are welcome to donate anyway!
Please include your TZ-UK user name in the comments if it's not obvious.
As usual, I’ll maintain a list of the participants here and will let this run for a fortnight. Laura will personally draw the winner and runners-up on Sunday 21 January when she returns to the UK for her next check-up.
Prize Details
The winner will receive my Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82, number 232. The watch needs little introduction. Full specifications may be found in the links.
Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82, 40mm with the original ETA 2783 25 jewel automatic and hacking movement. These currently retail at £425.00 and are still available from Timefactors. http://www.timefactors.com/precistaprs82.htm
I have owned the watch from new, purchased on 30 June 2014. It has been worn very sparingly, is in excellent condition and I’ve experienced no issues. The (expired) warranty card and instructions are present. This has the original unworn silicone rubber strap with signed buckle and I’ll include the monkeyswag NATO in the photographs. The winner’s watch will be sent in a nice dual watch travel case. Postage will be covered to anywhere in the world.
JackW has very generously donated a classic Seagull 1963 chronograph as a second prize. He will send the watch directly to the winner.
Seagull 1963 Chronograph 37.5mm with ST1901 hand winding movement. In very good condition, it sets and runs fine and it comes with the extra solid caseback, a leather rally strap (not the one in the pictures), a khaki NATO, tin and papers.
Martú Straps
Via Carlton-Browne, Andrea Tugas of Martú has offered three made-to-measure watch straps as below:
1 x Alligator: Can be black or brown.
1 x Tweed: Can be light grey herringbone, mid grey salt & pepper or dark green houndstooth.
1 x Calf: Can be any strap on my store or even a cork strap if you like.
Examples of Andrea’s superb work can be seen here:
http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...ed-straps-here
https://www.martuleather.com
C-B will contact each winner to arrange comms with Andrea.
Many thanks to Hidde, Andrea and Alan, and in advance to everyone who I'm sure will make this another great success.
Matthew and family

Greetings Mr Curta. Please put me down for 5 (currently overseas so will make payment ASAP but may not be for a while). Very generous of you all.
CALM is a superb charity. I’m friends with one of the guys who set up the CALM photography movement and I attended the Getty Gallery exhibition in 2017. Great stuff.
Great effort Mr. Curta.
Terrific causes and a lovely response from the forum. In for 5, please.

Lovely thing to do
You listed me for four but my donation was for three. Seemed like fate, so I made another donation to bring up to four!
Saves you the trouble editing 😉
Oops! I'm sure I would have spotted it in the end but many thanks! I think that I was distracted by zoiksy's sudden return.
