Yeah, because combating climate change doesn’t make money

Bison! And yes there are still some in the US. Not as many as there used to be in the 1800’s, but there are still quite a number of them around the country.

I bought this watch unexpectedly; I wasn’t planning any big purchases at the time, but this fell into my lap at a price I could not refuse. However I am thrilled with this watch, it exudes class in ways that I feel have been lost with many modern watches.

This is the first iteration of the Santos made with its now quintessential screwed link bracelet. It came about in the late 1970’s as a reinvention of the Santos line, as a way to modernize it and make it a watch that was for the every day man. Personally, I think Cartier nailed it with this model. While mildly flashy with the high polished gold screws and bezel, the brushed steel of the bracelet and case balance it out for a look that could find its way into the more formal or casual of settings. It doesn’t feel out of place in a suit, nor does it feel wrong to wear with a t-shirt and shorts. It’s case size is slightly diminutive compared to modern watches- a modest 29mm case diameter. That said, it’s squared case shape lends it to wear larger than you would think, closer to how a 34-35mm round cased watch wears.

What makes this watch my go to daily watch though now just how absolutely comfortable it is on wrist. It’s barely 8mm thick, and it’s bracelet tapers strongly from 18mm to 14mm.

Good. I hope they achieve far more in the future, it would be a net benefit for everyone, even those who dislike them and their politics

That’s wild. My release day joycons drift like a bitch, but I have never once had an issue with my pro controller. I didn’t even know the pro controller could have drifting issues tbh

I really enjoyed going in the winter, but it might not be for everyone. Much of the park isn’t accessible unless you take a snow coach tour or rent a snowmobile. The only area open to road traffic in the winter is the northern entrance in Gardiner to Mammoth Hot Springs, and then the road through Lamar Valley that connects to the northeast entrance at Silver Gate/Cooke City.

That said it was absolutely beautiful, it was by far my favorite vacation I’ve taken. It was COLD though. One day it hit -25f with a high of 2f that day haha

Edit: I misread your comment, you probably don’t need my explanation if you go every year 😅
