I gave this watch to a close friend 20 years ago.

She wore it pretty much 24/7 for a decade. It shows what damage wearing bracelets can do to a plastic crystal watch, as well as damage to the case too.

After it banged around in her jewelery box for a few more years, she graciously gave it back to me, knowing that I have this "thing" for time-pieces..

Noone knows where the original strap disappeared to:

However, a new crystal and cleanup inside and out and it hums along with only a few battle scars.. That is a US dime it is sitting next to.

The case is so small, and the numbers go all the way to the case edge.. The rounded shoulders of the new crystal distort the Disney writing and the numbers when viewed at off angles..

I think this one has earned a place in the Mickey Box:

Awesome Larry! So what was ejected from the Mickey Box to make room? Put it in the plastic sack where you keep all the Omega's?

Thanks Steve... I like these boxes because they stack in the safe nicely and are easy to move about etc. It just takes a bunch of them

There was a Seiko with Freemason dial there.. I guess it goes in the Omega Sack...

With the new Speedy Patch (in it's own nice box) that brings them up to 4....This is getting out of hand... I guess I need an Omega box now....

Gotta love Mickey! I had a nice MM watch when I was 5 or so, and I still remember it.

Mikey box? That is so cool... the ladies in my family each own an Eco-drive Mikey watch and they love them!
