I’m stuck in a bit of a dilemma and need some perspective from the watch community.
A couple of months back, my then-fiancée gifted me a beautiful Rado. It’s a clean piece, classic ceramic, and honestly, it looks great on the wrist. The problem? Well, she turned out to be a serial cheater, the engagement blew up, and now every time I look down to check the time, I’m reminded of a woman who couldn't stay faithful.
On one hand, it’s a high-quality Swiss watch that I didn't have to pay a dime for. On the other hand, the "bad juju" attached to it is starting to weigh heavier than the ceramic.
Should I just appreciate the craftsmanship and keep it as a "win" from a bad situation? Or should I sell it, wash my hands of the memories, and use the cash to fund something I actually chose for myself?
What would you guys do? Keep the piece or cut the ties?
