The Replica Watch Challenge

Posted on January 23, 2008 @ 10:16 pm

I was down at a local watch store today looking at watches.  One thing stood out when I walked into the store – there was a table in the back of the store that had the slogan "Win the Challenge, get a Free Watch".  Well, who can pass up a free watch, right?

So, I asked what I had to do.  The person behind the table told me that they had a series of three challenges for the customers to try out – and if they succeeded, they would win a free watch.

The first challenge was to pick out the one real watch from a table covered in replica watches.  I don’t know if they were trying to trick you, but the real watch was obvious – the other watches there were obviously watch replicas.

Strangely, the second test was a video game – where you had to shoot the right time shown on a clock.  No, it was not a digital clock, but instead one of those analog clocks (remember those??).

The last test was the hardest of them all.  You needed to find the Rolex replica watch out of just two watches – with one of them being the real one.  Now, this one was a little harder – but somehow I was lucky today and came out winning the replica Rolex.  Sure, it isn’t the real thing, but it sure looks nice – and I can’t complain about getting a free watch!
