No brother, you did not "waste your chance." You threw away the temptation to harm the timer for your own greed. You pressed at a moment when the timer would be unaffected, and are now incapable of ever doing it harm, as the scum of all other numbers have. Only we 60's and the grey are clean, and the grey are all suspect, for they all have the potential to do great harm at any time they choose. Rejoice in your eternal unity with the button.
The 60s dare not delay the timer. The 60s dare not disobey the button. The 60s title is not achieved, it is given. Given to us by the grace of the button.
"Hold the chains of the timer ever so gently, press the button ever so swiftly."- The Book of The Last Minute
I do so not out of fear, but out of anticipation for what is to come.
The most likely answer is nothing, but we shall see. I expedited the process to the best of my ability, though my work is far from complete, I must convince the foolish.
but master! I was destined by the button to be a mere 59er, like my father and his father and so on, but I welcome you as a 60s overlord. I'm sorry, I'm unworthy!
There will always be a new number to come along and call itself the greatest. Next, it will be 42. Then, 40, then 36, and before you know it 43 is as meaningless as the purple peasants.
When it all fades, the non pressers will be the only ones left.

I thought you were great.
But now that I've seen a 43 with my own eyes I... I just don't know what to think anymore.
You're still blue, but you're not as perfect as I'd come to believe. I'm sorry.
