Mickey Mouse Rolex
I've always been interested in a customized Rolex, been seeing Mickey Mouse watches every once in a while but never looked into it further. I found this on eBay and the seller claims it be original and he has excellent rep.
Did Rolex ever make these and why isn't it worth more? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was looking at these watches the other day, I'm curious too to know the story behind these dials. I've seen another couple with different Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse design.

It may be an original Rolex, but it is likely not an authentic Mickey Mouse watch from Disney.

Can't comment on it's originality, but it looks very cool. Pity Mickey isn't leaning on the 9 bar!

Mickey wasn't even applied correctly to the watch. His elbow should be resting on the nine o'clock marker instead of mid-air!

Disney has never ever had a relationship with Rolex. Started with ingersoll-Waterbury in 1933, Walt wanted it to be watch people could afford. Lots to read just google it. If your into vintage watches those old mouse watches have Swiss movements and make a fun addition to any collection, in my Hubble opinion

I like the idea of Mickey on a rolex but it looks like a real sloppy job.
