As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Notice Anything Unusual?

Let's see how many posts it takes to find the oddity, this should be an easy one.

Hmmm. That could be it......or that could be normal for PW. I'm wondering if it is just a trick to make me feel stupid. I feel like that dude in Mall Rats just staring at the picture. Isofrane-style rubber dive strap paired with a heritage-inspired military field watch? I'm not criticizing but that's my best guess. Otherwise looks like a normal pic to me. 🤔

6 o'clock portion of the strap looks as though it is reversed. There are no vertical grooves showing on that half of the strap. That took way too long to notice for a former self-proclaimed photo hunt champion.

The second hand is only slightly (6 sec) past minute while the minute hand is more than halfway to the 34 minute mark.

Good eye, but that's due to the photo angle.

The outer track: are the ten-second-increment numbers printed in two or three different colors?
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

Two, white, some in shadow, and salmon reddish for the 60.

I know this challenge is done, but I want to call out that the matching date wheel struck me as odd. Shouldn’t it be a standard white so that we can have something to complain about?
