    It's raffle time! Breitling Aerospace

    It's exactly 10 years since I joined this forum and it turned out to be the single one which I visit and contribute to regularly. No idea why, probably because all its members are so mild mannered and reasonable :)

    Anyhow, as Eddie recently mentioned that the fundraiser donations have slowed down (which lead to an improvement, but still), thought that I might as well do my part and start a new raffle.

    So here it is, in all its glory, one of my Aerospaces:



    Just serviced, in excellent condition, complete with B&P.

    The rules are simple - each donation of 25 pounds gets you an entry. My daughter Katia, who's 8 now (she drew the first raffle winners when she was 1... how time flies), will draw the winner in 2 weeks time.

    If we surpass 1k pounds, there will be an additional prize: a Casio Oceanus (titanium, DLC, radio controlled thingy), and if we make it past 1300, there will be yet another quartz titanium watch, a Boldr Venture.

    Cheers,
    Christian


    Up-date on page 4: we've made to 1625 pounds already after the first week, so all 3 watches are to be raffled!

    Awesome, count me in. Had one of these and sold it to buy a white dial sq Avantage, but this one’s got the cool italic numerals.

    EDIT: donation now made.

    Many thanks to all who donated so far!

    A very promising start, let's carry it forward :)



    Somebody from outside UK asked me via PM if donations can be made also with international BT - as I've no idea about this, could please someone help with advice? Thanks!

    I don’t think that’s an option with VMG but they should be able to donate using PP or a credit card. If totally stuck I’m happy to assist.

    Donations from abroad work fine using either credit card or Paypal, no need for bank transfer.



    Here is my donation for two tickets in the raffle. Great initiative!!

    There's the red rectangle at the top of this page (it says TZ-Uk fundraiser etc). Click on it and it will take you to the donation page.

    Cheers and thanks,
