Shedding Some Shame

So, a few days ago, I posted my shame of buying 2 Timex watches and showing no self control. 

Well, I'm going to shed some of that shame by returning one of them. 

Why? I spoke my Grail watch dream (buying a Speedy new from an AD) out loud to my wife & she didn't flinch. 

Also, the returning watch just wasn't wowing me. I kind of bought it just for the strap, but awakened to the fact that it wasn't going to be the quality I wanted 

This one is staying though.

No shame in buying a Timex. For any reason.

Smart move keeping this watch and returning the other. That Speedy is closer than you know. Keep putting it out there !

I like that Field watch you have, and of course congrats on the Speedy.

Oh, it hasn't happened yet. 

It will with her on my side, but not yet.

I love a good Timex and have way to many! The one you are returning I have looked at a couple of times at the old Wally world  and almost did the same thing. I talked myself out of it because I knew I would not wear it much. I do like the look of the watch and it would be a great beater. The problem with beater watches is you don’t need ten of them like I have because they don’t get worn. Stay strong if you want save up and get that speedy and good luck.

I need to remember not everyone has the context. 

The shame isn't because it's a Timex, the shame is because a month ago I told myself (and the whole forum) that I wasn't buying anymore watches til February, having already bought 18 this year to that point. 

Love the Timex, hate that I am soooo weak when it comes to holding back on purchases.
