Commemorative Edition 20th Anniversary watch

[ZRWON]

Last November I posted that I was thinking of making a Commemorative Edition 20th Anniversary wrist watch and requested ideas for a design. Several members responded with excellent ideas; one member even sent me a watch picture showing his design. Thanks for all your ideas!
Originally, I thought I should show the records and other words about Morrison and his team's accomplishments, but on a small watch face too much stuff looked cluttered and detracted from my goal to make a simple, unique collector memento of this great milestone in ZR-1 history.
I finally decided to use the 2 basic designs pictured.

I will make these watches with either the Stainless Steel band and special case style or the leather strap version.
The Black leather strap watch face can be ordered with either the Morrison ZR-1 as pictured or I can put a picture of the your Vette on it instead. The other watch face pictured on the SS version can't be modified but it can be the face on the black leather strap version.
These are quality watches with a quartz movement from CITIZEN. The wrist strap size is 8 inches, and face is about 1 1/4 inch D.
I'm selling the SS watches for $35 and the leather strap version is $25 including S&H.
I am confident you won't find personalized watches anywhere close to my prices. Watches like mine are not available in small quantities.
My watches are made individually for each order. Delivery takes about 2 weeks. If I do a watch featuring a picture of your Vette, I'll make an art work proof of the watch for your approval. Once you approve I will do final watch assembly. This usually adds another week to the time for you to get your watch.
I prefer PayPal payment but will accept personal checks. Payment is not due until you give me your approval to assemble the watch.
Your comments and questions are welcomed, Thanks, Bill

I'm not sure from the wording of the above statement if you're offering the black leather face on the SS watch or vice versa.

I would like to purchase the SS watch w/ the black leather watch face.
If that is not possible, my second choice would be the SS watch w/ the gold face.

If you'd like, you can PM me a price and PayPal address. Shipping would be to 70447.

Thanks,
Jep

Put me down for 2 of the black ones, will contact you via PM.

Sorry Jep. when you get my age words somtimes confuse me...I even get confused reading my own stuff. :confused:
Thanks for your interest, and Yes, I can put the Morrison ZR-1 pictured on the leather watch face on the SS watch face for you
That watch would cost $35 including S&H
The other option I offer is to replace the Morrison ZR-1 with a picture of your Vette. Only the picture would be changed. Price is still $35 for SS watch; $25 for leather style watch
I offer this option because I had several people tell me they wanted a Morrison ZR-1 pictured watch but wanted their Vette pictured instead of the Morrison car
For PayPal use my email address bbstrow@comcast.net and email me your USPS mail address to make sure I get it sent to the proper destination.
Let me know if you have more questions
Bill

[ZRWON]

Thanks Jep. I'll let you know when I ship it

[ZRWON]

Jep, here's the artwork for your watch. I will have it completed and sent to you tomorrow, or Monday the latest Bill :thumbsup:

I know you said the gold face can't be modified, but you should consider doing the gold one with the 1990 ZR-1 emblem also (solid gold bowtie outlined in black over red background in that section of the emblem) for those of us with '90 Z's.

How about something like this if we could work from this picture and make a watch face...also, which watch style would you want...the one with black strap or the SS metal style...the faces are slightly different.

That design looks good, except for the "ZR-1" word, use the same font as the first design you posted (but leave the "CORVETTE" word like you have it). I don't like the look of that "1".

Also, put this design on the same gold background as the first one & maybe make the grey in the outline of the emblem darker (closer to black, but not all the way, so you can still see the shading).

I would want this on the SS $35 watch.

Thanks for your interest and help. I'll start working on the art proof and as soon as I get it finished I'll post it. I had a couple others who also wanted the '90 emblem...only logical since it's for the Anniversary year especially if you own a '90.
Bill :rolleyes:

HAMMER, Here's a picture of your personalized watch.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v346/zrwon/2.jpg





So...is this "HAMMER" watch now "STANDARD"?
Is there any detail in that front plate of the ZR1 on the watch?
Just thought I would ask :mrgreen:

Sorry about confusion...
...Only the 8 "styles" shown are standard. The watch like Hammer's is personalized because we need an extra 5 work days to change the picture to feature the buyer's Vette, and usually words on these and then get buyer approval of the artwork.
The car pictured is Hammer's '91 #473 and the front plate is his Idaho personal plate "SNKSKNR"...pretty cool plate! If you'd want a watch with Hammer's picture I could blank out the plate and that would eliminate the extra 5 work days elasped time.
The price for personalized watches is same as that indicated for the 8 "Style" watches; $25 for leather band, $35 for metal band S&H included

Bill,
I can't say enough about this. It's a very special watch for a very special car and event.

Thank you so much.

PS: This occasion called for a new Avatar of special proportions.

Can you actually see the state (Idaho) and his "SNKSKNR"?

If so....I have 1991 #1427 Red/Red which I think would be identical to Hammer's Z. Could you put this plate on that watch Z (identical to Hammer's) and it be readable? In other words put my plate on Hammer's Z on the watch face. But only if Hammer lets me do it ;)

Thank you Hammer for that wonderful Avatar .....which made me think of a second personalized watch layout :sign10:

Easy change. Here's the picture. When on a watch face you might need a magnifier to read it but the plate in this picture is really your plate; BAD Z, etc.
You are on your own with getting a release from Hammer. Got any better avatar pictures to trade him for his legal release?

Let me know if OK

Are you talking about your Z picture on your watch or your Avatar picture......or both :mrgreen:

:redface: Thanks much for the kind words I appreciated them! :redface:

Look forward to seeing you all at JVD's BBQ Thurs evening

[ZRWON]

WOW, THE 20th GATHERING WAS ONE OF THE BEST CORVETTE EVENTS I EVER ATTENDED!
I got to renew a lot of old friendships and meet many of you I only know by your Registry "stage names"
This old guy really appreciates the ZR-1 people more than ever and I'm sure those memories will not fade in my lifetime. Also, thanks for the great pictures you all are posting.
I sold all of my Commemorative Edition watches except for the one with the SS band pictured below. If any of you would like to add this to your 20th Gathering souvenirs let me know.
Price is $35 and it's ready to ship now. You should get it in 3-4 days after payment.
Payment can be made via PayPal with my email address bbstrow@comcast.net

PS: I am still making personalized watches should any of you want one made "your way"

[ZRWON]

I am ready to send you the money, just need an address to send it to.

BRETT,
I made your watch exactly to your design specifications.

You requested I delay making watch until after April 15 because you owed $4000 IRS tax. I agreed

I advised you April 30 that it was finished and your directions were to bring it to give it to you at JVD's BBQ and you'd pay me

At JVD's you said you only had $10 but would get cash and pay me later...you took the watch.

I have repeatedly sent you payment instructions and you still have not paid me the $25.

I trusted you as I have always done with members of our brotherhood, or as Doug Johnson said, "It's not the car; it's the people"

I find it hard to believe you WOULD shaft me for $25 :confused:

If there's a problem with the watch return it and I'll sell it to someone else :icon_scra

:mad: TALK TO ME OR PAY ME :censored:

[pantera1683]

Hi,

Would you be able to make the "HAMMER" watch with Amold wheels and my plate?

[ZRWON]

Hi,

Would you be able to make the "HAMMER" watch with Amold wheels and my plate?

Sure no problem but do you have a favorite picture of your Vette that I could work with? The view/angle (front or rear) I used on Hammer's watch is the best one for a watch face.
A picture of your car would produce a better watch face rather than trying to find a picture of one with Amold wheels.
Email me picture etc @ bbstrow@comcast.net
I welcome the opportunity to do one for you. Thanks
