Gobble, Gobble, Gobble! Win a Werenbach for Thanksgiving!

Reading these posts I am thankful to be part of such as awesome community. Thank You to ManOnTime, TheJohnP and the other folks who keep things running so well. Thank You and a hearty toast to all the members who contribute and make this such a great place to hang out. Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

I'm thankful for being able to spend significant quality time with my parents - time that I would not have been able to spend with them without the 2020 remote work situation.

[Split-Time]

Above all I am thankful this year for family. Family doesn't always have to mean your close or blood relatives. Often times family may consist of close friends, neighbors, or generally anyone who impacts your life in a positive way, of for whom you do the same. My wife and son are my close family but I am blessed to have a number of people who fit into my personal definition of family.

I am also thankful for the MoT forums, [mention]ManOnTime[/mention], [mention]watchpalooza[/mention], [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] who keep it running and tend the helm, plus everyone who makes it great. During this pandemic I read that people have tended to keep in touch with their closest relationships (family or close friends), even if those have have been impacted by distancing. What a lot of people are missing is that next ring of people in your life. I have been fortunate (in my opinion) that I have been going to the office this entire time, save a couple of weeks, so I have those "water cooler" conversations about kids, sports, hobbies, and whatever makes the world go round. I feel like a large segment of society is missing that right now, and I have no doubt that this forum came about at just the right time to become an established haven for some of us during this difficult time. It is not all about the watches.

I'm thankful for this site and this thread, especially. Our long, bizarre summer and fall took me away from it, and when I come back for Black Friday, it's like I never left. You guys are alright !

spaceships! So cool.

Gratitude. My in-laws have been amazing this year, and I made sure to share that with them last week. I'm a city guy, who went from apartment living to the midwest suburbs. Things like yardwork and home maintenance weren't things that I knew - and they held my hand, lent me tools and showed me the way. They've also been fantastic helping out with childcare.

They're good folks.

2020. What more needs to be said?

But even in the seemingly darkest of times, there are glimmers of hope and light.



And this forum is often my personal happy place.
The people and this community is a welcome respite from what's happening in "the real world."
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, wanted to express my thanks to each and every one of you who make this forum what it is, by giving everyone an opportunity to win:

The Werenbach Leonov Model 5 automatic!
(A roughly $1,700 value!)





Werenbach Watches generously allowed me to keep the watch for the Leonov Model 5 review that I posted here - viewtopic.php?f=38&p=77220#p77220

As much as I like it and wouldn't mind keeping it, I want to offer it up to someone else in hopes it brings them even more joy in ownership. And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, seemed the right time to do another giveaway!

To qualify for the Werenbach, simply respond to this thread with anything this year that you're thankful for or made you happy.
Could be personal, could be general, could be anything that you feel like sharing.





- The giveaway will be open to ALL registered members of the forum (excluding ManOnTime, Watchpalooza, and TheJohnP).
- The giveaway will start NOW and run through November 30th. The winner will be chosen at random, and the video posted on Wednesday, December 2nd.

I was happy and thrilled for all the coffee that kept me going, the best coffee.

I’m thankful for the addition of a baby boy back in May. This is our second child and so much to be grateful for:
- healthy, happy, growing kid
-watching my 2.5 year old daughter adapt to having “competition.” She’s been incredible with him and only briefly shunned her mom after the birth
- my wife- she delivered at home (on purpose, planned, and executed to perfection) and is a rockstar mom to our kids. She is so selfless and a tremendous person to be around.
- working from home (note: I already worked from home pre-Covid) this has only provided more time to be around and get away from work to hang with my wife and kids

I heard something a couple weeks ago and it resonated with me: “Whatcha got? Be thankful.” Just enjoy the ride folks and be thankful/grateful for the time we get to spend on this planet.

Thank you to John and the MoT crew for offering this giveaway and to all of you on this site. This is truly a special place to hang out and talk watches, life, and everything in between!

What a cutie pie [mention]Rabirnie[/mention]!

Glad things worked out for a pandemic birth and moreso that the older sister is accepting.

[swissmade65]

Very generous of you. It's not an original answer, but, I'm thankful for my own health and the health of my family and friends.

[Kommy]

Its been a tough year for everyone worldwide.

I'm just thankful that my family is in good health and that I still have a job in these trying times.

[NeedWatch12Step]

I'm thankful for having a job. Period. And also that my two of my daughters appear to be recovering from COVID without infecting the more vulnerable people around us.

I second Bruce’s thankfulness for still having a job.
Watching the food lines growing ever longer on the news is heartbreaking. Also thankful for this forum for being an oasis of positivity.

Thanks for the kind giveaway! I’m a physician and this year has sucked incredibly hard, but I am thankful that my friend who spent 2 months in the ICU from COVID managed to pull through. I’m also thankful to work in a practice where I didn’t suffer the same loss of income as many of my colleagues who either had pay docked or were laid off because of the pandemic. Here’s to a better 2021.
