I regret not taking more pictures to document my progress, so I thought it would be fun to photograph my left hand on a near daily basis, each time wearing one of my watches.
This one is a very special watch, even though I have never worn it in public and it was only very recently acquired. It is from Disneyland in 1994 when my ex-wife and I were there with our then 2 year old twin daughters. On a gift store on Main Street there was an official Disney artist that would custom draw your favorite characters on a drawing board, then electronically shrink the drawing down and mount it in a watch. Dumbo was (and still is) one of my favorite Disney films of all time and I still can't even think of (let alone watch) the scene where Dumbo's mother is locked up and can only touch Dumbo with her trunk without getting verklempt. So, we had a Dumbo watch created:
Here's the scene I mentioned:
My daughter loves that movie and when she was little, she went through a phase of watching it every day. She has a little collection of soft dumbo toys and a pin of him having a bath from our trip to Disneyland Paris.
ReplyDeleteYour watch is gorgeous and even more special in that it is one of a kind. I'd take that over a Rolex any day!
