    **** M.F.S. - The old years - bonus Round part deux ****

    Well we have been doing a more for a score - the old years thread for the last couple of months so now all of the watches / clocks are in. We get to the fun bit of looking at them and voting ..

    All comments are welcome voting is open to all for those who use tapacrap just say so in your post and who you want if you want to join in ... All are welcome as I say ..

    There is going to be a prize thanks to the kindly donation by iyonk's

    and of course the badge but think we mainly did it as a bit of fun and frolics ..

    The rules well everything has to have rules

    1 ) can only vote once whether by vote or post....

    2) think we don't need any more do we

    These threads will run for six days for voting Sunday - Saturday.. every Saturday the winner will be put forward and the not so lucky watch will be out...

    And then on the Sunday a draw will be done for the next round and so on till all the first rounds are drawn then the winners will go head to head in random draws till there is only one .....

    Then they get bragging rights gifts and badges galore .....

    so the last two are

    watch daddy

    Does this count / just for fun
    We had a vault yard sale @ my work for non-paying customers & I'm a digger, so pulled this out of a box & my BIG BOSS said I could have it for free.
    Vintage Junghans Travel alarm clock- pretty cool stuff




    vs

    fuzzy B bulova clock

    From the beginning, I was hoping to find a really cool travel alarm. I’ve seen some very interesting ones go for next to nothing, but no such luck during this competition. I am pleased with the looks of this one though.

    This one came complete with the original box and a note on the inside that it was received as a gift on 25 April 1976, which actually makes it a birth year clock for me, Beautiful blue sunburst dial. And what really made this one jump out to me is the engine turned case. This one came in right at £18 and slightly over £20 with shipping.
