i have to agree, even though i bought tickets ... this watch is not appealing to me either. a good idea might be to have the dealer offer five different watches. then have a poll to determine which watch members would like to see raffled off. whatever watch wins the poll, would then move on to the actual raffle. just a suggestion as i don't think this watch would have won any polls. it's a nice gesture either way but, the ultimate goal is to earn money for the board. all the best.
