Let's Pick The Next Challenge!
OK, I've been able to narrow down the poll choices thanks to the preliminary poll. Let's try a poll within the forum itself to see if we can get more people engaged here. If you are on TapaTalk, you'll need to log into the forum proper in order to vote. You can select up to two options.
If a spending limit isn't specified, it will likely default to $30.

Re: Let's Pick The Next Challenge!
OK, I thought I posted a response here, but I guess not.
The results are pretty decisive, and we are going to be hunting for sub-$35 mechanical field watches as our second challenge.

Re: Let's Pick The Next Challenge!
Yes. Rules. That will be in another post. I can do that (tomorrow likely) unless AM wants to do it again. We will need to integrate the feedback from the post challenge discussion, and I think that there was one idea left undiscussed.Stretch44 wrote:Sounds good to me. Guess we need to set the rules.
For now let’s talk about what a field watch is. Of course, finding loopholes and creatively breaking the rules is encouraged.

Re: Let's Pick The Next Challenge!
If I may make a suggestion, I think to be a "field watch" it should at least have a 12-hour dial with every hour marked out numerically, and also a 24-hour track, either inside, or outside the 12-hour ring.

While this is mostly true, I would say that most of the numerals should be on the dial. A trench watch or trench-style watch with the sub-seconds hand doesn't have the 6 or a 13-24 hour track.
I still think this is going to be a tough challenge, but I hope that you guys are having an easier time than I am.
Edit: I did some digging and I am finding some watches, though the conditions are unknown. Here are some screen grabs of field watches that don’t have that 24 hour track...
