路The enablers strike again! Never ask here if you should get something new, the answer will ALWAYS be yes. Welcome to the FOISv2 club.

路I tried the FOIS on this morning at an AD. Looks great in person. Love the lugs, they're just different than so many of the Speedmasters out there.

路Unlikely. Definitely needs to be in the same condition. You can ask, but shouldn't expect a return. Your warranty was likely activated, making it a used watch.
Yeah, I noticed a couple of minor scratches on the clasp, which is probably enough for them not to accept it back. I don't think the warranty thing is a big deal, because they accept online returns within 14 days of purchase.

路They said the caseback had a few tiny scratches because I took it off and rested it on its bracelet, so no refund is possible.

路I woke up the next morning with a massive amount of buyer's remorse. I'm trying to start a business, so I'm technically unemployed right now and I have my business capital secured, but I had some disposable income and thought why not treat myself a little bit. I'll be officially launching in about 4 weeks, but I realised that it really wasn't tge best timing for splurging on a luxury watch.

Kind of, I mean I sold my house and I've been living off the proceeds. Recently, I also bought an Explorer and sold it because I was so disappointed with it and lost around 拢700 on that.
I mean I have enough money to last me around 3 years, but I've spent like 拢7k on watches when the money would have been better served buying a new computer for my business.
I basically justified it to myself as "I can afford it so why not?" Now I'm thinking it was a really unwise thing to do.
Was it an impulse purchase? I鈥檇 say enjoy the watch. Worst case scenario, you can sell it and lose a grand or two.

路@ninman I've done this before with buyer's remorse. Given that you are now "stuck" with a most lovely watch, I would say that you hold onto it and wear it. If you feel the same down the line (give it a month or two?) then perhaps put it up for sale on here, eBay, Chrono24 etc. and just admit to yourself that you made a mistake and you'll learn from it. I bought a Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow Limited Edition which was 1 of 80 worldwide. I quickly regretted it, and ultimately lost about 15% compared to what I paid. But, it is what it is and I've moved on now.

路Based on your reaction to owning the watch, I really would recommend selling it now for whatever you can get for it and never buying an "expensive" watch again. I don't think this is for you. It's clearly beyond your comfort zone.
To be honest, I get as much enjoyment buying a $150 quartz watch as I get buying a $10,000 watch.
