Oh yeah, that's a lot closer to the wrist. Looks absolutely superb.
Forgive me father for I have Sinn-ed. A U1 from SC has taken my fancy. Damn it!

Interesting 24 hours......so was going well, 1 in and 1 out, then the Rad which I missed out on comes back on SC, so I just went for it.
Then just as my guilt was building, my LX which has had little or no interest, gets multiple offers...so 2 in and 2 out
And now Steve puts my grail GS on SC....

I'm very pleased the Hamilton on SC has sold.......temptation removed. :-)
Unfortunately but not I slipped brought a cwc from a wanted post I put , what can I say? I have a problem I know but promise nothing from now until this time next year
Early hours of the morning when I can't get to sleep are the most dangerous ones for me. I have fallen off the wagon and ordered one of Karl's Clearance Diver watches - I must now bid this thread a fond farewell o7
<my last purchase was in 2019, so have done well to last this far!>
Another out today so 4 out one in, starting again for a year not buying
Ok so now 2 out....go me...
But unfortunately 2 have come in,but what a 2
Let's see if I can go the rest of the year...

I've been tipped from my tumbril again. The addiction has me in its maw right now...

I have sold a watch so I’ve absolved my purchase of the Sinn.

Everything was going pretty well until it wasn't...
Having started the year thinking I really ought to thin out the box, I'm now up three and have just added a WTB for a fourth.![]()

I'm still a member, but only just. I was in James Porter in Glasgow yesterday looking at Studio Underdog watches and was sorely tempted.
Nothing bought this year. But many looked at. I just post pictures of watches I want to have - so much cheaper than buying them!

I was doing so well to abstain. For weeks I flipped and flopped over buying a keenly priced Tudor Big Block but I just didn't feel the excitement when I went to commit.
Then I saw something that a) wasn't unreasonably priced, b) was unlike anything else I own and c) will look great on holiday in a few weeks time.(I've even bought a new pool top and shorts to match it).
I won't spoil the surprise here but hope to do a mini review when it turns up, I don't think I've seen one on the forum before.
-1 for the year which truly has to be a first. And a genuine -1 not a net -1.
Down to 3 main watches now and hope to hold at this level for sometime now.

Really not going well. Picked up my second Panerai in the last month. That's now plus 3 for the year thus far, when i really planned to reduce.
^^^ Not going well for me either. Just added another watch to a burgeoning collection. Must stop visiting SC!
For god's sake someone buy my bluddy Traser on SC and give my conscience a break, I'm on the sniff again...
Very off the wagon now. Bought an Aerospace Evo that I saw on Facebook being offered at a tasty price. Ah well, here’s to 2025!
Last December I was confident that 2024 would be a quiet year with (hopefully) just a few watches returned to the wild...
Oh well...

So I make that two down on the year, so far... Could be worse...
I'm still hanging tough.
Not to say I haven't been close to falling off the wagon a couple of times.
I've not only fallen off the wagon, but the horses pulling it reared and broke free, the wagon then rolled away, hit a tree stump, overturned, cascaded down a creek, and exploded when it hit the bottom.
Still hanging in.. was tempted by a couple.
Brexit making it too expensive to buy from SC

Almost a full five months in and I'm still clean.
Just one thing though, just checking before I do something silly: G-Shocks don't count, am I right?
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
As if it wasn't enough that I'd bought a Squale and a Halios Seaforth earlier this year, I've just spent a not inconsequential sum on a vintage Tudor from a seller in Japan. I'll soon be bending over at HMRC's pleasure when I pay the import fees on it.
Still, there's always 2025.

Shipped another watch off yesterday and I'm now down to two (keepers). Quite enjoying the reset to be honest.
