Hello micky22, this is an English made Ingersoll(Timex). The marking at the 8 is the copyright logo, is has the circled C and then WDP. The WDP is short for Walt Disney Productions. This watch would have been made between 1958-60, some were sold later than that, but that's the basics. These resemble the US counterpart, but the casings and the crystals were a little larger, The main reason I know this , is I have one and the Crystal was really scratched up, I thought I'd just remove the movement and replace in a better casing and have good crystal also, but nope these are a little thicker and the crystal snaps in the front case different. Now I'm just rambiling, sorry. These seem to be fewer than the US counterpart, but don't seem to make a value difference to most collectors. This watch has alot of promise thou, appears to be almost complete. Thanks for sharing yours and hope I've answered your question. Best Regards, Kerry
wow, thank you so much kerry x x x
do you know how much this one would be worth
As it is shown here, from $10-20, top dollar. If all together, working and good to go, value is around $50-100, and that depends on the day.
