I am sure it has happened to many of us and it happened to me today (see http://www.watchfreeks.com/view_post.php?post_id=19516 ). The "let down" when receiving a watch you had wanted BAD.

You had the watch on your "wish list".
You had done your research on the watch and read everything you could find about the brand, watch, history, etc.
You had looked at countless pictures on every site.

You WANTED the watch! You had to have the watch! And then you bought it / traded for it / was given it as a gift / or just found it on the street....

But when it arrived ...... THE LET DOWN. It was not everything you had built it up to be. For whatever reason you just knew it was not right for you. You can feel the initial excitement you had hoped for literally seep out of you through your gut.

Who has dealt with this type of disappointment and what did you do. Post your experiences...

. . . The Timex TX series. Saw the web site, checked around and found a deal. Looked to be the real deal for me. I ordered a 730 Flback on black leather, and was stoked waiting for it. The packaging was triple cool, and I was instantly NOT interested in the watch . . . . at all. Traded it off without it ever hitting the wrist.

.. . . Size was OK with me. Strap was garbage IMO. And the watch just looked and felt non-substantial, no feel to it at all. And the dial, though it looks good in a photo . . . . actually looked contrived, sort of "forced" . . . It was pretty odd to tell you the truth.I really was excited about it . . .

that is EXACTLY how I felt about it before getting it - excited. But when it arrived it actually wore SMALLER then its size to me. I was OK with the strap, but could not get around how small the watch felt and wore on my wrist.

. . .For sure it did look like a small 42. I don't mind a 42, so I was good there . . .
