Hi Kevin,
1st of all, congrats on getting a new watch! My 1st was a casio as a 7 year old and the itch nv stopped from there. :P
I think most of the folks here nv had the luxury of getting an expensive watch as their 1st and we should not be ashamed of that. We need to start from somewhere no matter how rich or poor we are.
Warren Buffet have more $ than most of us combined and he leads humble lifestyle, albeit not sure if he had the same watch on his wrist for the decades!
Be proud of what you have and enjoy!
That's what a purist would do, imho.
cheers
