The wrist shots in the DWC home page are from DWC 1.0, back in the original forum. It was a compilation of wrist shots that were pulled from a thread that requested them for that purpose, if I recall correctly. When the forum was restarted/reset/transitioned over, the wrist shots remained.

I see a few if mine in there.

Funny. I landed on that same page by accident the other day, and I was wondering the same thing.

I’m thinking I’m in there somewhere. The problem, of course, is I don’t remember what watches I had back then so I can’t find my picture.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

I also can’t recall what or if I posted for that piece. I was in Pakistan in late 2009, so it’s doubtful I added anything.

The sad thing is that although my wrist is in several of the pictures, many other wrists are sporting watches that USED to be mine :banghead:


I have flipped a lot of watches over the years - almost all of them at a loss lol

My first or second WRUW post was turned into a dick pic by Ben.





I still have it. For those “special moments”.
