No one else seems to. Have I done something wrong already?
why have I got a 'watched' indicator next to my post?

If you mean the glasses icon, it means you're watching the thread. I believe it's default for any thread you've created or posted in. You can also watch other threads without actually posting.

Obviously cream! Now where's that unwatch button....

It isn't default - you 'watch' a thread by clicking the Watch thread bit in blue on the right, just below the thread title.

Nope I think it is default. I don't think I've ever clicked on the watch thread bit. If you start a thread or reply to a thread then it becomes watched. The watch thread click is for if you want to watch a thread without replying to it.

Not for me it isn't (I've just tested it). When I start a new post there is a tick box under the text entry field that allows you to tick to watch the thread.
AH - digs a little further - in your preferences, you can select to automatically watch all threads you create. martint235 obviously has this set and I don't.
So we were both right!!

Never thought such a simple question would set of a discussion. Of course its JAM first - forget the cream

Now I feel POWERFUL. I just unwatched my threads. Thanks for clearing that up.
Actually, you're all right - it's both ... 
- It's on by default for new members but can be turned off! 
Go to your account preferences: http://www.cyclechat.net/account/preferences - and tick "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." on or off as you please (and you can even get an email too if you tick the box underneath it).
Ta da!
