Nice watch. Why do you call it a fidel castro? Did he wear it in the past? Or you wear a double?

Fidel has been known to rock the double day dates.

There are plenty of online pics of Castro wearing two different watches on the same wrist (a DD and a Sub, in fact), reportedly so that he could also keep track of the time in Moscow. And for the bling factor, of course.

Other double wearers include Hunter S. Thompson, Maradonna and Morrissey.
