This is my Mickey Mouse watch. My parents bought it for me 1978-79 at Disney World Florida. I have no idea what it s worth? (Invaluable to me)
I actually have no other info on it other than stated, can anyone help? Feel free to email me at rayinontario@gmail.com
circa 1966-74 Unauthorized version of the Ingersoll Mickeys of that era. Commonly referred to "Tongue" variant, as printing appears as Mickey's tongue is sticking out
Confused? I know my parents purchased at Disney, how can it be unauthorized?
I can't argue over that confusion, as for coming from Disney World, I would shake my head and listen to the story. There is a possibility of these being sold there, but in my 40-50 years of collection and researching, this design has always been referenced as such in books, internet and discussion groups.
These watches are assembled in the Far East with imported "generic" Swiss product movements. Dials and hands , produced in Far East. These resemble the authorized variant, but again these were "Clones"
LOL Eye4....somewhere between
Here's a link to collaborate:

Not arguing, I actually appreciate the feedback. I called my Mom to confirm and she is confident it was purchased at Disney in March 1978. We were there on vacation. So more than a little confused now. I am only curious about the value for curiousity sake. $32.50 ? Nah! Priceless... Thanks again for the info, hopefully more info becomes available...
I have to agree with Eye4's take on possible events. These originally sold around $8.00-12.00 and priceless as family gift/airloom, these sell on the bay in this condition for around $25-50 bucks. Again neat watch and thanks for sharing your treasure and story.
