I know it's a lot of hard work to keep track of everything and then you added a very nice watch on top.
Put me down for two places please.

Hi Dave,
I have prize I'd like to add to the pot.
It's a brand new IPad mini retina case (Tabacco) from Saddleback leather. I'll take care of the postage to the winner.

^ really kind mitch, thank you.
I am having trouble collating all the photos into the opening post, I think this is basically because there is a limit on post size and it is exceeding this when I try to add them. I will try and collate all the pictures into a single fresh post and add them to the bottom of the thread sometime.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Email sent Dave. Very generous gesture from yourself!! Well done.
I'm in.
Certain I can add some stuff to the pot also - I'm only here for 24hrs though before away until Tuesday but will see what I can grab and add to the pot.
Will send email now...
Count me in, email on the way
Cheers
Stuart
Wow, if everyone donates who said they would we just need one more person to add to the list and then that is £8,000 raised for Nepal!
And i'm in please

I'm in and email sent Dave.
Just want to say what an amazing thing to do, unbelievable generosity.
Thanks Brian.
I'm in for this. I was in India just after the first quake and people I worked with were throwing a lot of effort into support; it'd be good to help.
Wow, don't know how I've only just managed to see this but I'm in. Email on its way.
If there is still time I am in.
Great gesture Dave, count me in!
I'm in

Hi Dave,
I'd like to have a second place so will make another pledge. I will send another e-mail now.
All the best,
Paul
Put me on the list if I'm not too late, please. I'll make my pledge sometime today, possibly this evening.
Thanks
I Would like to Donate £50 for a ticket please.

Please add me to the list.
Thanks.
A very noble effort, worthy of support. One in for me.
I will await further details.
Hi Dave, please add me to the list for a couple of tickets.
I'm a bit late to the party but I'd like to be involved if possible.
I'd also like to throw my Glycine Combat Sub Quartz into the pot if that's ok with you Dave?
Thanks for the support everyone, I will catch up with the admin later. In the meantime, if you haven't already done so, please go to post 105 and follow the instructions. thanks.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

Dave
It's not too late, the more the merrier. I would love to get to 200.Originally Posted by davek

Top man - stick me down.
An email is inbound!!
I'm starting to feel ashamed of my Sturmanskie. I'll throw in the pot my copy of "Breitling - The Book" too. It is in good condition, but not pristine. Postage covered by me naturally.
This is what I'm talking about
What a great gesture for a worthy cause - email sent.
I recently bought this book, and I can say it is a book-and-a-half! And relatively uncommon (due the cost, I would imagine!!). Whoever wins that will be super-chuffed!
(shameless excuse to post another pic of my latest arrival!!)

Count me in Dave, great gesture!
How close are we to the day of the draw?
Not sure exactly, but a day closer than we were yesterday
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Once everyone gets their "finger out" then Dave can sort things in his own time I expect 😉
can the people we are waiting on hurry up please! people of Nepal are in desperate need here!!!
Great photos Tony as always.Okay chaps - apologies for the delay but I've had a manic couple of days. However, I've managed to get the lights out and take a few quick shots, which I've posted below.
This watch (a model 16570 Explorer II) comes with punched papers showing an A295XXX serial and dated October 1999; a stamped retailers guarantee with matching serial number; a Sanderson and Son business card (presumably where Dave-O bought it... and a very well-respected used Rolex dealer, I might add); hang tag and red chronometer seal; 2 spare links to the bracelet, making 12 in total excluding the funny ones attached to the clasp; and an aftermarket outer and inner box.
The watch itself is absolutely beautiful, and is certainly one of the best of this age that I've seen. Both the hour plots and hands have turned a beautiful creamy-yellow colour, and the dial is a perfect brilliant white. The case itself is sharp and virtually unmarked (you'll need a loupe to see anything, if indeed there are any marks) and the bezel has just the lightest rub near the 22 marker. The lugs are fat and sharp too, and all are in the condition shown in the photo... even the bracelet has just the lightest of rub marks on a couple of links (and the clasp is nice and tight).
Basically, this is a watch that I'd buy myself without hestitation, and I'm a right fussy b*stard.
I may be wrong here but by 1999 didn't the Explorers have luminova dials (as the submariner, GMT and Seadweller did)?
If so then this must be one of the very last Tritium dial Explorer IIs ever sold making it even more special!
Am I too late....
Never too late, I'll stick you down for one. Please follow the instructions in post 105, thanks . I'm a bit behind with the admin but will get back to you.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Quite so. I'm asking, not hassling. This is going to be an event!Once everyone gets their "finger out" then Dave can sort things in his own time I expect
Ok great will sort that out and get the mail off to you.
How's this to get people even more excited....

I'm in for £50 if I can, would also like to donate a prize.

Hopefully not too late to join but I have emailed and eagerly await to donate.
