If I'm not all-in on a watch, I wait. In this case, I'm waiting to see if I still like this beauty once the 'newness' wears off. If I do, I'll pick it up then.

I agree with others. It wasn't initially on your radar, and even after trying it on you admitted to still not being sure. My question is if it wasn't so popular among enthusiasts will you be happy to buy it? I would wait to see how you feel in 3-6 months.
