2013 - The Year in Review

The year of 2013 is almost coming to an, and with 2014 dawning upon us in a matter of days from now, I think that a look at what happened in 2013 would make for a nice post.

What a year it has been; we've been through the inception of the The Watch Post, its near closure during the August period, and of course, a whole lot of watch-related content such as arrivals, departures and reviews.

This year, The Watch Post has seen the arrival of the Steinhart Ocean Two, the Kemmner Turtle, the Getat Luminor homage, a submariner homage, as well as a Seiko SNDC87P2. A few of these arrivals have for better or worse, departed the stable, and they are the Seiko SKX009, the Steinhart Ocean Two and the submariner homage, which I just sold off last week. It was quite nice, but sadly it never saw much wrist time and therefore I've let it go.

I want to give a big thank you to all readers of The Watch Post, for all the support you have shown, be it in the form of an email, a comment or simply just having passed by and deciding to read a post or two, thank you so much for passing by.

So what lies ahead in 2014? I did mention in a previous post that my love for watches is not quite what it once was, and that I would be bringing more non-watch related content into this blog. That still remains true, but at the same time I promise that there will still be quite a lot about watches as my interest has seen a small rekindling in the months of November and December.

I've managed to successfully go through the ordeal of ordering a watch from Getat in 2013, and managed to receive it in good order. Today it remains as one of my favourite watches. I think I may just order another another one from him as I think they are worth the trouble, in spite of the growing consensus on various fora that Getat is becoming increasingly unreliable. That's one thing you might want to look forward to in terms of updates next year!

As this post comes to a close, I'd like to thank you all readers again. Wishing everyone happy holidays and a happy New Year!
