He said he no longer regarded the Art of Sound forum as the place for him, and left. We all miss him: hopefully he will return someday

I still visit the forum occasionally to see how everyone is.

It wasn’t just certain posts on this thread that phased me a little, I’ve experienced a patronising vibe on a number of occasions and, it would appear, been singularly ignored at times.

‘Taking umbrage’ is probably a bit strong and I don’t think I ever said that about the forum.

Thanks for all the plaudits, they’re really appreciated and I will still post but far more intermittently.

As far as watches are concerned I’ve taken Barry’s advice and put black leather straps on my entire collection!

Cheers you lot!
