I feel so connected, you wouldn't believe really!
As you describe it, there was a lot of emotion going on with the purchase and you had to think twice and stretch a bit, now you LOVE the result...
For me with my Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One it was exactly the same, albeit in a league one digit below 😁
Let's just enjoy and, as you say, play with the light 😎

Cheers, Alex
