Disney and Citizen

I don’t normally do these NWA’s, but I was compelled beyond reason.

I repeat myself again that I am a sucker for railroad minute tracks, heat blued hands, and sub seconds. Now, I can say I am a sucker for Art Deco hand...

I’m gonna be that guy…my apologies in advance for any inconvenience:

Is it just those four boxes that need to be ticked? Are the oddities gonna dissuade you at all, like the chopped hour hand, the…whatever kind of bezel that is…, the fact that the positively protruding end link to end link measurement could be more like 47mm? What about the movement?

If you don’t absolutely love it, don’t bother, IMO. Because things that you don’t absolutely love about it could worm themselves into your opinions later on and then you’ve got a watch you’ve lost the luster for.

I got this one from Crown & Buckle, in the Matte Supreme NATO collection. Very specific because there is a Supreme NATO collection that is not made the same or of the same material.

This strap hasn’t come off since I paired them, which is rare for me to keep a watch on one strap for any length of time.

I don't need to show it off (then what is this post? -Ed.)

Wait, do I leave a like, or not? Damnit man leave your games for 1WC!

I give a very optimistic 33% believing that maybe, JUST MAYBE, there would be enough people that actually would enjoy the look of the watch over the smart watch, regardless of the movement, hopefully, i dunno.

I really don’t know why I’m so positively inclined with humans in a hypothetical trial, yet in real life I hold most in such low regard.
