Here we go with the Static verdict
Not easy to judge this week with all these table shots… Sometimes several similar pics of the same GTG so all should be on the podium together with the owners of all watches displayed on the tables 
At the end the judge must do his duty and come with a verdict so here we are 
.
.I'll start with a great runner up for his beautiful pic : congrats to Boris
3rd : congrats to KMII for reminding me mindblowing memories of the Great Indies Tour in Switzerland last year. Beautiful photo showing a superb Voutilainen Twenty-8 and Vianney Halter Deep Space Tourbillon in presence of the 2 creators / artists together with a cool Sarpaneva and Alkiro's son grail watch (he was very proud that his father had put it on the table among all these treasures)
Deuce for the 2nd place between Zabreg1 and KMII for their table shots of great GTGs in Zagreb and Switzerland (I should mention Watchonthewrist as well as he shot almost the same table shot in Kari's garden)
Finally the 1st place goes with no surprise to the only one of us who can make a fantastic GTG on his own, gathering with himself ROFL
ROFLCongrats to Nico for this daring fantastic photo

OK. Here goes Wrist Shot of the Week.
But first, I absolutely must give some love to Arie, who posted my single favorite GTG photo ever.
Now, on to the task at hand: Wrist shots.
There were many favorites, so it's hard to choose. Thus, I decided to group them.
The GTG Wrist Shots
From Watchonthewrist 3 very nice Independents:
And from HTSE, a bunch of Omegas, pretty impressive.
For Family photos, there are also 2:
From Subexplorer, perfect setting and perfect pair.
And from Boris, the synchronization is perfect. In every way.
But for the winner, I choose this one. Something about it just spoke to me.
Congratulations, blomman, you are the winner this week with a pair of 'brotherly' Rolex love.
Have a great week, everyone, and congratulations to all winners.
Congratulations to Blomman. As I said, the contest was very tough, with great players! [nt]

WoTW
As this theme clearly is not about solitude I am not able (and don’t want) to pick one watch as Watch of The Week. So I, Judge WoTW, have decided to award the photographer of the week. And the winner is MikeH. 3 razor sharp pictures of 3 super strong designed watches.
yes I realize it’s my own watch, but hey: impeach me if you feel like it
It has been a wonderful theme CC, thanks!
