It's pretty simple, the more wrist shots you post, the more of a chance that you will win. All can play including staff.. :D

So how do you get in? : Post wrist shots in the weekly (beginning, midweek & weekend wristchecks) wristshot threads.

How long will the contest run? : About 1 month

How will the winner be chosen? We will add up all the times you posted and give you the same number of tickets. In the end, we will draw a number and that person will win the watch.... it's that simple!

What is the Prize? One of the following (pictures are borrow from every...

Panerai 005

or

Rolex Comex Sub

or

Rules:

YOU CAN ONLY POST ONE WRIST SHOT PER DAY! But you can post one for every day of the week... BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME.
For example, you cannot post one time saying "I'm wearing ___ monday ___ tuesday " and and get credit for two days, etc.

You CAN post on Monday "I'm wearing ____ today",,,,,,, and then on Tuesday post again saying "I'm wearing _____ today".

Pictures must have been taken by YOU.. and we dont care how good or bad the pictures are, it will have no bearing on winning this contest.
The pictures may be wrist shots or glamor shots as shown below and although you can use a picture more than once, in good taste, dont post the same picture every time you post a wrist shot. :oops:

Examples of acceptable pictures.

The contest will begin when I create the initial Contest starting wristcheck thread tomorrow.. (Sunday for the beginning of the week wristcheck as those in other countries are many hours ahead of us and will be celebrating their Mondays long before the US)....

Remember... it pays to post! :D GOOD LUCK! :D

Here's my PO faux chrono with Chieftang double AR. (I took the pic with a cellphone so you couldn't see the flaw on the crystal!)

It's a wrist shot... it does not matter how good you are!

I'm not just talking about this contest, I'm talking about participation in general... it is fun to participate, so dont be scared off from wrist shots because you dont have a $100 setup and a $700 camera... (neither do I and neither do most).

My wrist will look like this for a few successive days at least.

Quality sucks because of old camera and indoor lighting. Also notice the annoying uber-floppy crown guard lever.

Quartz Adidas watch, quite pretty in its own right.
The camera, however, seems to be completely unable to produce clear close-up shots no matter what I do..stupid Canon Ixus!

Edited! Wrong thread..

Taken with a canon Canon IXUS,

Are you turning the camera into macro mode? its the flower icon on the left arrow button. When I saw you post I was curious and I just happen to have the same old camera, well I have the US version S110. I tried it with my camera and it worked like a champ. I have about 20 digital cameras in my collection and this is one of the oldest, but its been a tank and workhorse when I did use it. I was lucky the battery still had a charge as I haven't used it in years.

If you didn't have the macro on, Try changing the flash to off, macro (flower icon) on, do not zoom in keep it zoomed out, and take the shot somewhere with lots of light.
