Okay, I tried But just can't do it!

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced something like this? Okay, here it goes;

The other day I had the notion to go look at watches, so off to the AD I went. While I was there I spotted a Hamilton 42mm khaki field automatic that looked neat. I proposed to myself that this would make a great dirty work watch. (That's how I rationalize my purchase anyway ) counted out the cash and brought it home.

I fitted the bracelet to my wrist, put my Omega SMP on the winder ( first time for that) and wore the Hamilton none stop for the next couple of days. After wearing a SMP 24/7 for the last 3 months, the more I wore the Hamilton, the more faults I found with it. Lugs are way to long for one thing, then it just started to feel cheap as compared to any Omega I have owned. It just didn't feel right.

Each time I looked at it I thought to myself, this is just silly, you have a perfectly awesome watch just sitting in the winder and your wear this, WHY? In the end I realized that I had purchased a watch for which I "thought" I had a need/use for and then became obvious that in fact - had no use for it at all!

I removed the Hamilton from my wrist, Got the Omega out of the winder.. Apologized to my SMP and put it back on my wrist where it rightfully belongs.. At the moment the ONLY watch on my list is the Speedmaster sapphire sandwich 42mm. 3861. Has anyone one else ever purchased a watch only to find they had no use for it later?

P.S. I gifted the Hamilton to my youngest son today.
