Shorefire77.

I thought I would see if they would respond here before DMing. Anybody know what is up with these two? A lot is going on in the world, so that could be in play here.

Looks like both [mention]ShoreFire77[/mention] and [mention]Spirit of the Watch[/mention] have been on the site quite recently.

So hopefully they can chime in on their respective status.

I've been at work mostly (hospital) and wasn't able to find a worthwhile contender. My ebay-fu skills could use work.

Ok all. Last call for any last minute entries. That's you [mention]ShoreFire77[/mention] and [mention]Spirit of the Watch[/mention] .

From tomorrow, can anyone interested in voting please take a look through the thread and choose a watch to vote for and let me or [mention]Sporkboy[/mention] know who your winner is. We'll then collate votes and let you know the winner.

All votes need to be in by next Friday (17th April) so we can kick off the next challenge.

Last call for votes everyone! We are going to close the polls midnight Munich time on Sunday the 19th of April. That’s GMT +2 as if I needed to include that on a watch forum.

Get those votes in and let’s see who the winner is!
