Good on you, sounds like you are in a good place with your watch ownership, or a temporary lull.
I was in Bluewater earlier this week to buy Mrs soporsche a birthday pressie and stopped to browse the window of 4 or 5 watch stores, no intention of buying. Unfortunately the manager from one of those remembered me and popped out for a chat and invite for coffee as they were quiet.. turns out a buyer had pulled out of a limited run watch (sold out everywhere) and did I want to see it... well you can guess what happened next and its an expensive lesson in dont hang around watch shop windows if you are really into watches 🙄😬
He clearly went fishing and I was caught by the shiny lure on offer 😁

Guess ill start an 'incoming' thread (again) and revisit the consolidation list to fund my horological indiscretion.

Up in the City of London for the day, with my girlfriend/partner, primarily visiting EATALY; London it was hard to resist the sparkly lights of Watches of Switzerland next to Liverpool Street Rail Station nearby.

I was unable to resist a swift perusal of the window displays. :wink: :wink:

but they have both been promised a trip at some point and haven’t actually been on one yet.
So it's not just me that comes to an agreement with their watches, even if unspoken..... love it!

Seems to me your mind is at some sort of peace. And perhaps that UN takes some responsibility. It is indeed for me Watch of the Year in this place. Right person, right watch.
But then again, a knee operation will pass for "the next thing".

^^^ Very kind of you to say that, Chris, and obviously we all have our opinions. I must say there have been some pretty fantastic watches appearing this year, and I would probably give the palm to Pete’s rather wonderful Lange. I wouldn’t necessarily want to swap, though. :D
