Horological Meandering

My first post after stepping away from these forums this past April

I'd stepped away from all my online life last April to recuperate from my stem cell transplant. I just needed to focus on family and relaxing. But it's time to return. First, I'm fine, doing very well, actually. Sorry I didn't respond to all the well-wish...

Congratulations on completing your treatment …

My first post after stepping away from these forums this past April

Phenomenal!

Thank you, it's great to finally decide to return.

Welcome back, Emil! . . .

Thanks, Art.

Glad you are better, welcome back, Congrats on your new watch :-)

Thank you!

Very happy to read these good news, my dear friend. And very happy to see you back here!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting back to my old online life. I'm just realizing how much I've missed it.

And we missed you, too.

Thanks, that's very kind.

Glad to hear you’re doing well 👍🏻

Thanks. Yes, doing very well and great to be back.

Wow this is great news!

Thank you. My wife just reminded me it was exactly one year ago yesterday that she took me to the emergency room, with me arguing I didn't have to go. She was obviously right...she usually is.

Good luck for the hunt then, it will work out I am sure!

What wonderful news! On both accounts.

Thanks!

Welcome back Amigo!! So glad you are feeling well!

Thank you. I plan on going back to my normal routine of reading these forums daily and joining in when I have something to offer.

Congratulations on completing your treatment …

Thank you. Yes, roller coaster is a perfect analogy, both mentally and physically. And you're right, I've had siblings go through cancer treatments but never really understood everything involved until experiencing it myself.

I agree …

What a joy to hear this news! Among the best quality/price watches out there.

Thanks! And to anyone who hasn't handled a Bel Canto, it's difficult to convey the quality for the price.

If I lived in UK I’d probably alteady have one. But I live in Spain and custom taxes are about 30%… Enjoy it.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Welcome back. The Bel Canto is a great watch.

Thank you and it feels good to be back, even if my absence was self-inflicted.

Welcome back!

Thank you. Other than tiring faster than I'd like, I feel just about back to normal.

Great news!

Thanks. Yes, things have worked out well for me so far and I'm very grateful. Since I still can't physically do as much as I could before, spending quality time with family has been very welcome.

Awesome job to focus on your self and get through your health issues

Thank you. My time away from any online presence was needed but now I'm happy to return.

There is no more powerful affirmation of the future than buying a new watch. Congratulations and best wishes.

Yes, my wife calls it my cancer watch and she encouraged me to order it. She wanted me to have something to look forward to.

Glad to hear you are well on the road to recovery. Everything else is insignificant.

That's very true, medical issues force everything into perspective. Thank you.

Welcome back! Lovely timepiece too :)

Thanks. I hope you're enjoying your Bel Canto as much as I enjoy mine.

Congratulations on your health and return! That’s a strong step back, that purple CW is very pretty.

Thank you. I was originally hesitant about ordering purple but all doubt went away immediately upon delivery. The color's very pleasing.

Welcome back

Thanks, xto.

Wonderful to have you back Emil. Every fun, desirable happy "thing" in life means nothing without health. It's great to hear from you again! :-)

Thank you, it's great to be back. This past year has put everything in perspective for me so I understand your comment about health all too well.

Good to hear it is all good! Welcome back!

Thanks, I actually feel better now than I did two years ago. The lesson being, don't ignore what your body is telling you.

New (healthy) time, new watch.

Thank you. And a new watch could never be a bad idea.

True

Welcome back! Good to hear the positive health news.

Thanks. It's great to feel mostly back to my old self.

Great to have you back .

Thank you. As for the watch, as a novelty I believe it's once of the best value for money watches out there today.

So good to have you back! Excellent taste in your Bel Canto.

All the best to you for your recovery and welcome back!
