    Only exception to this is if I meet my other financial goals relating to cash ISA, pension contributions and income tax. If those are all achieved then I will start to put money into a watch fund.

    Boring but sensible and potentially lucrative in the long run. Also encourages me to enjoy my existing collection.

    Lapse doesn't have to mean relapse.

    You still have 360 days left to not buy a watch :)

    You win at falling off the wagon spectacularly! Enjoy!


    I'm out for now thanks to a recent purchase - until I sell something!

    I have semi-fallen off the wagon, I did sell a watch but as part of that took another as a very minor part-exchange. Plus the guy I bought it off was very generous and chucked in another as a freebie! So whilst I am net one watch up, I haven’t actually purchased any new ones, which I’m still counting as a win so far. Still need to sell my Sinn UX and possibly a CWC G10.
