Time for another karma, right in line with the holiday season.

Auto?, Quartz?, Straps?....who knows?

Let's run this until Saturday Dec 18, at 9pm EDT. Winner drawn by random number generator, per the post entry in this thread.

Woohoo. Nice to offer up a holiday treat.

I throw my name in the generator. Karma is always good.

Bump!!

Can always use some karma!

Can't hurt to give it a try, even though I'm shit outta luck in lotteries. Count me in.

Well, goddamn it, count me in. Thanks, John!

Karma Chameleon! I'm in, thank you.

I need to extend this....
Now Sunday, Dec 19 at 10pm EDT

FYI

There "may" be a vintage Orient in the karma also, but I'm unsure if the movement needs work or not. Going to see how it runs

About 24 hours left

Cue Jeopardy theme...
.

Will be following up this fine act of karma with another.

Well it appears your luck has changed, Mr. Bloke....you won!

PM me your shipping info at your convenience.

Merry Christmas!

Congrats, MK.

Awesome! Congrats, MK.

Mr. Bloke for the win!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

Awesome, congratulations MK. Thanks for doing another great Karma John.

After a looong wait (no thanks to the USPS facility in Chicago and long handling locally in PL by the Polish Post), my Karma finally arrived!

And here it is...
Two black Timexes:

Both are cool, I have a soft spot for Timex. The very first watch I bought as a teenager was a Timex Expedition. Still have it. And glad to have some more!

Speaking of Timex, here's the star of the show:

A 1978 Timex hand-cranker. With the dial made in England, I presume it came from the Timex factory in Dundee, Scotland, which closed its doors after a massive strike in 1993. The case and dial are in great shape.

Armitron quartz:


And an Orient 3-star diver-style piece:

The Orient's a revival project - alas, its movement gave up. Dunno, low temp in transport or whatnot. However, cosmetically looks like new, so one day it'll be revived.

And then there are strap and bracelet tools...and a NATO:

The NATO is great, already put it on my Selhor Diver 05. Properly supple and with well-made loops, no problem with tucking in the excess once buckled.

I say it's good Karma!
