I'm interested and I'm in. This little Howard is a great favorite of mine. (I have mechanical wristwatches too, but no pictures.)

Not an entry, but a very cool tool. I'm an EcoDrive fan when it comes to watches, so I'd rather see someone win it that can really use it.

Thanks for the love, leghog. What is the closed length of that beauty?
 
Not an entry either, but like seeing the knife. Would love to see a mechanical watch hobbyist get it then post a pic with a favorite watch or two.
 
Another EcoDrive guy here but I love seeing specialized tools. Not an entry but thanks for your generosity and presence on the forum!
 
I'm in and thanks for the opportunity. My only watch is a mechanical TAG automatic gifted to me by my younger brother.
 
I don't wear a watch at all so this isn't an entry but I really do like that knife. Haven't seen that one before so thanks for sharing.
 
Not an entry, another fan of Citizen Ecodrive watches. Thank you for doing a give away.
 
Not an entry. But I do carry a mechanical watch every day...

 
Thank you for the opportunity, I'm in :)

I prefer wearing manuals and automatics, and considered a second career in watchmaking for a time.

This is the watch that got me into hand winding after not seeing one since I was a kid...

All my watches are mechanical. Most are $50-$75 Timex watches and it's not practical to spend $10+ to pay for a battery replacement. My better knives (e.g. Swiss Army Officer's) all have screw on casings. Don't have any really nice watches, but they're worth paying a trusted jeweler to replace a dead battery.

So yes, please count me in. I would get plenty of use out of it. I've never seen or heard of such a SAK, but it looks like it would work much better than the cheap walmart tool I use now. I'm going to have to look for one of these if I don't get lucky.

Thanks!
 
I am interested! My watch is not mechanical (or is it?) but that SAK would come in handy for popping the back off to replace the battery. Thanks for your generosity!

Great giveaway sir :thumbup: I picked up one of these in green recently, so not an entry please.

I'm wearing my Grandfather's Smiths of London, must be 50 years old or more and still keeps perfect time. Was going to wear my Cartier Tank yesterday, but it has stopped! To be fair, it's not been serviced for 20 years, but it's been very well looked after.
 
OH man, this knife throw me 40 years back, my grandfather was watchmaker and he had one like this in black color scales, he used it to open the back cup of the watches he was fixing.
My father who used to help him had one also which he gave me and I lost :mad: Wow what memories. Thank you for posting this knife and I am certainly in.
My watch is mechanical all the way Panerai Luminor marina which I got at the year 2K.
