As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Let it be known that wearing any MoT traveling watches shall constitute LWDS compliance. This applies to current, past and future traveling watches so long as the MoT Watch Deal Forum is their ‘home’.

What say ye?
That was Stretch, not me, who asked if Sdelka should have an exemption. However, I am happy to second your motion if you are making one ;) . Honestly, Monday being a holiday sort of messed me up...things are crazy at work, so when Sdelka arrived yesterday I knew I was going to wear it today regardless.
Sorry about that. I somehow didn’t see Stretch’s name there. At any rate, it was something I was thinking about through the evolution of the Sdelka thread. I believe the mission of traveling watches to be in tune with the league, so it seems a natural rule addition. I made it broad enough so that should someone start another traveling watch then it would be covered. I have an idea for one, but I need to get the right watch for it.

I am all for it. Any traveling watch journey through the MoT forum is always compliant.

Also, just to clarify, My word is not law just because I am the OP. I like the idea of someone proposing something, then if two or more people second that motion, without any naysayers, it is good to go. We are a Legion here, and it's up to everyone to keep it thriving.

Started off today non compliant with a watch that just hasn't been getting the wrist time it deserves. The SARB065 is spectacular!
Image

Then I just finished up a mod using an 8926 I got from the HUISABH thread, so compliance has been restored. I'll post more about it in the mods thread.

Two pushers equals one crown, so you're good!

Evening switch for compliance.

St. Moritz SLK Titanium digital goodness. I wish these were easier to find as they are pretty great. I have one in slightly better shape, so I may sell this one at some point.

Oh well

Beverage compliant tonight with a tasty DDH IPA from Birds Fly South. This one actually has some notes of pine and bitterness, which is a win in the hazecraze/juicebomb IPA world we live in.

Oh, also there’s the brass N-7 Northstar from Ventus. Have a great weekend folks.

I was compliant yesterday. One crown plus two pushers = two crowns.

Not compliant today. Happy Friday, hope everyone has a great weekend!

I still love that watch. I’m not a BSH or whatever y’all call yourselves, but I’d buy that in a heartbeat!
