I was raising young twin daughters when that movie came out, so I watched it quite a few times. Having it on my wrist would bring a smile to my face every time I looked at it. I love it. A time machine. in every sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-56812437371326614922021-01-25T08:45:58.521-08:002021-01-25T08:45:58.521-08:00Just the lighting in my white light tent.

Lots of curves and curlicues. Not my favorite design style, but as you say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I own the one with the original bracelet pictured above and bought it specifically because my my collection focus is Hamilton milestone models. In my mind at least the milestone slot filled by the Kenmore is that it is the worst looking Hamilton wristwatch! Would I wear it? Absolutely not!staleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393098563497728116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-68998828402433606502016-10-17T14:37:30.123-07:002016-10-17T14:37:30.123-07:00I love the look, fins,fender skirts, neon juke box...I love the look, fins,fender skirts, neon juke boxes... got to love the artistry!

You definitely cleaned this one up nicely, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187163988067834735noreply@blogger.com
