Europe PAW - Chopard Mille Miglia GTXL *jet engine rotor*

[takashi]

Well... Started this on RWcc but it's closed now so we make it RWI Exclusive. Current location: Bayern, Germany.

Who's next? Why does this person/do you deserve to have this watch?

The idea is very simple. You receive the watch, take a special picture of this watch with unique background. You have 1 week to pass it on to the next person... I will decide who will receive it next :lol: (now it's still in Germany). We do this in EU.

So far this watch has travelled in Germany and to France.

Those who have sported the pass around watch:

1. Takashi - Germany
2. Piratedzeus - Germany
3. Pix - France
4. guru - Germany
5. fine dd - Germany
6. opus - Slovenia

(These are pictures of the passaround watch as taken by sir Pix)

And here my chosen backgrounds

Unique background?

I'd say the oldest vine in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records, here in Maribor, Slovenia, is pretty unique

Even though the Hampton Court Palace Gardens claim their vine to be the oldest, I'd say go with Guinness's claims. Sadly a trellis bears grapes in autumn, not spring, so the thing is pretty barren right now :lol:

Pretty good idea.
I live in dortmund/germany.
The unique background here can be the mascot of the scoccer WM-Championship in 2006 in dortmund.

Cheers
Uwe

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

Hi, any news on whereabout of this watch?

 

[opustitevkajenja]

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

That's what I was wondering too.. I haven't passed my address to anyone though, since I was second to go..

 

[takashi]

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

Yeah... PZ have you sent the watch to Dresden? Thank you.

@fine dd: Please take pics if you have received it and afterwards, please pass it on to opus. Thanks a lot.

The only complains so far:
1. Loud rotor
2. Crappy strap. If you have PAM 24mm strap, it will fit to this watch too. You can change it, no problem.

Hi,

@Taka, if you still have the pics that have been posted on RWC, I'd love to see them here.

It would give an idea of what is expected from the participants.

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

Hey guys,

watch is packed and ready to go. Problem is I was busy as hell the last week. I feel really sorry and it is not my normal style to delay sending packages. I explained the situation already to the next receiver.

 

[takashi]

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

Unfortunately no more It's under maintenance mode. Maybe JB or d4me can help us?

@PZ: ah it's OK Just checking this package whereabouts.

Here is some examples:

But yours must come with unique background.

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

Easier than linking from RWC : I fetched my pics on my harddrive

May I unofficially start with my shots (former pictures from RWC) ?

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX

How could anyone ever compete with the quality of those pictures.. sigh..

Re: [RWI Exclusive] Pass Around Watch - Chopard Mille Miglia GTX


I think finding an original background will make the interest of this challenge.

It would be funny to travel with this watch. That's something I completely missed in my pics.
