The main drawbacks are cost, machining difficulty, and brittleness.
Cost: Tungsten Carbide is significantly more expensive than other seat materials. The material cost and the specialized machining required make it a premium option.
Machining Difficulty: You cannot machine Tungsten Carbide with standard tooling. It requires specialized diamond-tipped or solid carbide tools and a machinist with experience working with this hard, brittle material. Improper installation can lead to cracking.
Brittleness: While incredibly hard, it is more brittle than steel. This makes it less forgiving of improper valve train geometry, valve float, or foreign object ingestion. A sharp impact is more likely to cause a chip or crack than to deform the material.

Like the last release, there is a jumping hour display, and Mickey's arm operates as a watch link hand in full character-watch fashion for the retrograde minutes. This watch builds on the 2021 Mickey with a second retrograde date function right by Mickey's link feet. It isn't operated by his foot, but rather a more conventional hand. link We can't have everything.
