Chairman Mao Right-Handed Analog - Mark I

This is a whimsical revisiting of the traditional “Chairman Mao” watch, developed at the request of reddit user “saltedlolly”. Here’s his description of the original:
“If you have ever visited China, an almost essential souvenir is the infamous Chairman Mao watch. The watch features a picture of Chairman Mao and his hand waves as it runs. It definitely falls into the so-tacky-it's-awesome camp, and is a "communist kitsch" must have! The other thing about the watches is that, being cheaply made in China, they are also almost guaranteed to break after a few days of use....”
“Living in Beijing, I have been thinking recently that it would be awesome if the watch could be recreated as a Pebble watchface. I'd love to have Mao's mug waving back at me from my Pebble. It would also be good that the damn thing doesn't break after a few days. ;)”
Well, who could resist a challenge like that? So here is a first cut at a Pebble Chairman Mao Analog watchface – Wear It With Pride!
A Couple of Release Notes:
1) This Watchface is available in both Right-Handed (clockwise) and Left-Handed (counterclockwise) versions. Each has a unique UUID, which means you can install both, if you wish (search on “Chairman Mao” at the mypebblefaces.com home page);
2) This is a Mark I release – it has the Chairman Mao bitmap, but his arm is not yet animated – Animated Arm versions are planned soon …
