SOS call for AVO and XT
Steve, David, where are you guys? You haven't been on for a while and your input and humour is missed. C'mon chaps get posting again.

Re: SOS call for AVO and XT
Right here! I was away for a week with only my phone for internet access, and I've been quite busy.
Also, to be honest, the watch obsession was getting a bit much and I felt I needed to step back a bit and take stock. A month or so ago, I was almost ready to blow silly money on a high-end vintage piece, and thankfully got cold feet. I have a holiday to fund and various projects at home, and looking at what I've spent on watches in the last few months (even with the ones I sold) I was threatening to stretch myself a bit thin.
I'm trying not to buy any more watches for a few months, as I'm still finding it hard to allot wrist-time to the ten I have. Fortunately CW is making it easy by producing watches I don't really want or in some cases even like. If they offer a sub-40mm manual in the autumn I might be very interested, but not until or unless that happens.
The main point, though, is that there is more to life than watches, and I was losing sight of that.
Oh, and I got a bit fed up with the "speed posting" debate and the logo debate, and tried to stay out of both.

There is more to life than watches. The problem is, most of the other stuff isn't as interesting.

Re: SOS call for AVO and XT
I understand this completely. I use the forum sparingly during the week and occasionally at weekends and like you I have recently reduced the number of watches I own, in my case right down to two. I'm still on the lookout for a vintage piece but after that I'll probably stop buying. I agree also on the CW range although if something I want comes up in SC I'll go for it.
