    Post milestone approaching so how about this as an offer? RESULT ON PAGE 2

    I tend to be (mainly) a weekend poster these days, but even so I seem to be fast approaching a post milestone. I've given away a fair few freebies in my time and it's a bit old hat now, so I had an idea for a slightly left of centre give-away that may appeal to a few on here. Anyway, this is what I was thinking...

    1) Anyone who fancies me taking some photos of their watch collection (up to three watches and - say - about half a dozen photos of each) post on this thread.
    2) At noon next Sunday I'll call a halt and draw a name from all those who've posted.
    3) I'll pay for insured postage (I have a Parcel Pro account so value isn't an issue) for up to three watches to be sent to me; or we could arrange a F2F in central London if that's easier.
    4) I'll take some nice shots of the watches concerned and then return them to the owner, again fully insured and at my cost.

    I've got no idea if this will be of much interest, but at least it's something a bit different. Anyway, post away if you're up for it

    Edit: I didn't think for a minute that there'd be such an enthusiastic response, so I'll shoot one watch for the second name picked as well.

    I'd be VERY interested in that!

    F2F in central London as well :)

    With a fundraiser donation, naturally.

    Wonderful gesture Tony. I am hopeless with my pictures!

    I was just thinking the other day that I wished someone of your skill could take some photos of my watches. Please count me in.

    The hard decision would be which three!

    Great gesture and love the thinking to use your skills (and they appear to be many!) in this innovative way. I'm in and if drawn will make a donation to the Fundraiser.

    Nice gesture T.

    Can the winner select the lighting level?

    Where's the old icon for "NO", Andy?

    If you've posted on here you'll be in the draw, unless you indicate otherwise on your post.

    Post milestone approaching so how about this as an offer?

    Nice gesture. I am not in, live in the Netherlands so no need for high postage costs. I do hope you get some forum favorites or also cheaper watches like the skx007. Most stunning shots from you and Jocke are from higher end watches but you guys are skilled enough to make me want any watch.

    Very kind offer Tony. As I have the photographic ability of a slice of Edam, I'll throw my name into the hat.

    Great idea and a generous offer. I'm guessing it's limited to UK folks only, in which case I'm out. Would love some LTF pics of my Ariadne though, it's very hard for me to get shots that flatter the watch and show its true beauty.
    Good luck to all.

    No, you're okay, as I said to Glen. It would be churlish to limit this to UK members.
