generally, it's hopeless. I have almost never lost interest in a watch and gained it back again except once that I can remember.
My Sub LV, which has become my all time favorite 'everyday' watch. So you never know, on the other hand.
The way I discovered my love for the LV was, I took it on vacation, and wore it everyday, having 'no choice'
I started to really appreciate it, and then the journey/travel became embedded in the ownership of the watch--it had a special memory in it.
Since that trip, which was a three week journey, I have never seriously wanted to get rid of it again. (all watches are occasionally on the imaginary chopping block now and then.)
So... maybe take it hostage on a trip.
Sigh... not bonding with my PML XL
Recently my AD took in a used, but unworn, Panomatic Lunar XL in steel. This watch had been on my want list for some time to the point that I was lusting after it. By a strange stroke of luck I had first right of refusal on a perfect example at an excelle...

Thank you for the thoughtful response
I find it refreshing to receive such a carefully considered response as so many of the enthusiast sites I visit (non watch related) are crammed full of nonsense and vitriol. I plan to give the PML some more time, but I've come to grips with the fact that ...
Dear AndrewP

This forum is becoming my favorite on PPro!

I think we have all experienced similar sentiments.
I would give it some more time. Maybe a little break and then try again before moving on. It is natural to think we "know" from the first moment and then things can change. But I have found that can work the other way too. In the end, if it is not to be, ...
I say, give it more time Andrew.

I suggest a pin buckle...
I have had a PML for almost a year and found I didn't like wearing it because the deployant has sharp edges and thus lowers the wearing comfort. I also tried reversing the straps and found that made the problem worse. Yesterday I had a pin buckle put on t...
An update
Thank you all for the kind words. I gave the situation further thought, talked it over with my wife and ultimately decided to let the watch go. Sold it within a day and upon shipping it felt little remorse at all. As it turns out the watch just wasn't rig...
Andrew, meet . . .

Stunning
I had the good fortune of trying the Senator Perpetual at my AD and I was very impressed (to say the least). In many ways yours is even more appealing. What is the name of the perpetual model in the rectangular case?
Mine are . . .
