I have my share of nice watches but recently got nostalgic and started looking for a "Punchy" watch. I had one when I was 8 and it went through hell. I found one that was in very good share but the band has separated. Along the way I also found an original Charlie Tuna watch. They have mechanical wind up movement that function well. Both came with their original paperwork and the Charlie Tuna came with it's original box.
Anyone else like the old character watches?

I've never collected them but have ended up with some through the years. Little Orphan Annie, Zorro, Cinderella, a couple of different Mickey Mouse, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and a bunch I'm forgetting right now. There are some character watches that bring BIG money. Unfortunately not any of the ones I own...

I love Mickey Mouse watches, and would love to have one with a reliable movement. My best one loses minutes a day, and not consistently. You have to remember that they were designed for children for the most part, although they should do better than "minutes" a day. If you want a really accurate one and don't care that it's modern, Lorus made quartz Mickeys several years ago. I think they still do, you can look and see if you're interested. |

I'm considering getting one of the reproduction Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watches. The Ingersoll was the first MM watch. These reproductions are suposed to be very nice. |

I have a similarly priced and styled watch (not to your linked one, but to other "Ingersolls" on Amazon) from the Parks, also labeled Japanese movement - it's the one that doesn't tell time well. I'd love to bite if I knew those would be better. I have a less classic Mickey Mouse Skagen form the parks - I wish a company like that would make the classic moving hands style. |

The "Seconds hand" is replaced with a clear plastic disc. The White SUV and police cars chase each other around the dial. http://i59.tinypic.com/keyp93.jpg That is great. Who made it? |
