Feedback : Rewards System

[P88]

For competitions, maybe one about "spotting the fake" would be good? I believe many of us at one point or another had pondered about this topic. Not just a simple guessing game but with the need to compare, identify and justify. Points awarded to the most number of points identified (and minus points for incorrect ones lah). Not just for one to one comparison but multiple pieces of the same model or with different grades of fakes. Think such competition will help elevate the level of knowledge and awareness in SG ROC.

For the more knowledgeable members, vintage players or collectors, maybe one on spotting the mismatch dials, hands, date wheel, etc will be a good challenge? It may not have to be super rare vintage pieces like great white or DRSD but also with the newer discontinued models like 16610LV whereby there are 8 dial variations during it's production run period.

As for the reward/prize, I guess whatever the sponsor/advertiser feel comfortable or economically viable with. Surely not a free watch (can maybe give away the fake but not mismatch watch lah) but more along the lines of services such as discounted servicing, FOC valuation or authentication for a certain time frame or number of pieces, etc.

This might be a win win situation for both members and merchants. Members gain knowledge while merchants get free advertisement / promotion of their services during that event whereby attendees are likely to be possible future customers.

Once again, just my 2 cents worth. Please do not flame me.

what type of prize would entice you to join the competition? what i am looking for is for members to come up and say for example a tripod by manfrotto would entice me to join the competition. as i have mention, have to be realistic enough also. the issue now is that sg-roc have nothing to tell sponsor/merchant what the members want as a prize. so if the sponsor/merchant suka suka give then no one join then it serves no purpose.

For talk and worshop, can invite merchant or sponsor to talk about their products (eg. watches, winder, ...). For competition, it can be photography base on certain theme, or like what Hazel been said best voted thread, thread with the highest posting, ....
As for prize it is very difficult to quantify, how much and how big is enough to attract participant. I have no idea in this unless there is a willing sponsor to provide.

now this is the type of suggestions and solutions i am looking for. suggestion is 'spotting the fake'. solution is add or minus points. this is a good start for discussion as we can then say +5 for correct answer, however for wrong answers, sg-roc does not feel it is appropriate, hence the deduction of points solution is not taken.

other solutions like discount servicing or free valuation can be something sg-roc can take it to the merchant/sponsor for discuss.

unfortunately, the rewards system is not implemented yet. else you could like gain 5 points. however, you will be rewarded in other ways when you come to the anniversary.

it is easy for me as a member to contribute my suggestions but because of my title - Administrator, there is a conflict of interest. it is this conflict of interest that i cannot contribute as much as i like since 3 years ago and sg-roc prefers to provide a platform to members and merchants/sponsors.

once again sg-roc appreciates all the feedback that is put forth.

Voucher $$$ from watch shops, where watch shops are AD or preown shops? preown shops i think tough.

camera lens and flash also hard.

free watch servicing can be implemented for rewards not prize

eye loupe will likely get the nod.
