While it was marketed for kids, what made Mickey Mouse watches a pop culture phenomenon was the adult stars that wore them.

John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Bob Geldof, Grace Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr, Lauren Hutton, Johnny Carson, Adam Faith and Tom Hanks have all worn Mickey Mouse watches.

Astronaut Wally Schirra brought one aboard the Apollo 7 spacecraft that orbited the Earth in 1968. Astronaut Gene Cernan took his Mickey to the moon on Apollo 10 in 1969.

Important information:

I list my items with plenty of detail, specifics and photos (more than most) so please read them properly and look at the photos as they form part of the description. I am happy to answer any questions that I have not covered. I take plenty of photos, from all angles. Please ask if you need anything more specific.

These are mostly vintage mechanical watches and I do not know their service history. I cannot give any guarantees for time keeping, they are not modern watches.

They need be looked after and handled relatively carefully. They are not waterproof (even if they were designed to be). Please do not wear them in the shower or whilst doing the washing up, or operating heavy machinery.

I try to post them either on the same day as payment received or the day after (unless it is the weekend).

I pack all my watches extremely well in boxes (not jiffy bags). I always use 'Signed For' or 'Tracked and Signed For' delivery. I list the Tracking number as soon as possible. I send packages all over the world and they usually arrive swiftly.

I cannot control the postal system abroad. I care about my watches and if there are any problems I am happy to sort them out, quickly. I have very good feedback and care about my customers.

‘Buy It Now' is exactly what it means... please pay within 2 days... not next week. Please don't make low offers, I will decline them. I am happy to combine postage wherever possible, but cannot combine items with GSP.

Unfortunately due to non paying buyers and people with less than 10 feedback I will decline your offers and cancel sales at my discretion. I am happy to consider sensible offers, but I will decline all low offers. I don’t sell at half price.

Lastly, please enjoy this hobby, thanks.
