How about a little competition? Win my Alpha Planet Ocean

[GuySie]

Okay, so I've been bitching and moaning about my Alpha Planet Ocean Orange for a while now. I don't like it that much, even after trying a huge amount of straps, and I've basically stopped wearing it. That means it's just collecting dust - a fate that no watch really deserves. I'm sure someone else would be quite happy with it, as it gets rave reviews from people here, but I'm not that much into selling watches - it feels a bit wrong. So how to get the watch in the right hands...

Now Geckobros organised a Most Ugliest Affordable Watch competition over on Affordables, offering up an equally ugly watch as a prize for winning, that was a lot of fun! So let's shake things up here too: how about a competition with my Alpha PO as a prize?

I'm a bit of a photography geek, I love the Chinese mechanicals forum, so I was thinking it'd be fun to combine the two. The challenge is:

Take the coolest, most kick-ass, action photo of a Chinese mechanical watch of your choice.

Action can be taken in the broadest terms here, I just want to rule out the static lightbox and watch-just-sitting-on-a-table shots, get you guys doing something different. Something just needs to happen in the shot.

The actual watch you'll be trying to win (minus the water, plus the bracelet its supposed to be on) in an action shot of its own:



I was thinking one entry per person, deadline at midnight sunday 16th of August my time (central european) to give everyone time to come up with an idea and shoot something cool. I'll try to judge mainly on sheer kickass-ness of the photo instead of pure photographic quality, so even those without thousands of dollars of studio equipment can win. Winner gets the watch shipped to him, anywhere in the world, for free.

I hope you guys think this is fun and like the challenge!
