Yea not official till Friday morning August 15th but I will not mess up and buy a watch now. But I hope you all enjoyed not having me left and right snaping up the watches to give you all a chance. :)

Who knows I may be a good Dawg and give all a chance till I click send on the PM with "I'll take it" LOL :P If I have not forgotten how to buy a watch. WOW wouldn't that be a mess. :shock:

It has been tough. I have passed up allot that I was so ready to say forget the 30 days. But I behaved and did it. Maybe in this time I have learned patience. Or maybe not. I want my watches yesterday! What is wrong with that. LOL :D

lol!  I just did the same thing to prove to my wife that I'm not addicted! ;)

I have to say that your vacation from buying made it even tougher for me.  I always get a kick out of the New Arrivals section, and without the Dawg in there, it sure felt slow this month!

Anyway, my wife is so impressed with my alleged self-control, that she wants to reward me with a nice watch for an anniversary gift.  :D  The hunt begins now...

At least now,you'll have the opportunity to pick up something
much more valuable like an IWC or an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
With that said,I wish you the very best.

Maybe I should do this more often.:P Yes I already see a shrink. LOL :D

No plans to change my strategy. I go for watches I like not just the brand name.

There are a few big ones that catch my eye now and then but many of the new watch brands have my attention too.

One thing I have learned quality dose not always mean pricey.

Right now I plan to see what The Watch Show has up for this special Friday night show and this next week I'll be looking to see what Russians invade the show.:)

Also been thinking about another Seiko. :)

30 days?  Sounds like it was pretty easy for you not to buy a watch while you were in jail.  :D  What did you do THIS TIME?

CJ I have contemplated selling some but keep seeing folks post that regret and sellers remorse. LOL :D

But ya never know. 2009 could be that year I go heavier on quality than quantity and and sell off a few that the love has faded with. Time will tell. ;)

I just don't want to run into that nasty emptywristitis. :shock:

I haven't purchased a watch this whole year. The only watch related purchase was a strap.
