Here is a guide hopefully being helpful to you in attempting to purchase any one of these style watches for your collection or just to wear. There are many watch sellers here on Ebay that sell watches that are pieced together to look better, watches being sold in the wrong boxes they originally came in or watches with new bands or crystals. This is a plot for appearance only as these are not considered to be ORIGINAL. Most character watches are well over 40 years old and will mostly show their age and you have to take that into consideration when purchasing one of them. You cannot expect one of these watches to keep perfect time for long and actually should not be purchased to wear. These are more for the collector to add to their existing collection. I personally have well over 400 Mickey Mouse, Cast Member, and Disneyland various watches in my collection. Many of my watches are from the original starting date of 1933 to present. I have each and every Ingersol Mickey Mouse watch ever made and several MINT Kelton 1946 Mickey Mouse watches ( these are the most sought after) of all the Mickey Mouse Watches ever made. I will also tell you to watch out for fake knockoff Mickey Mouse Watches coming out of China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. These are all fake non-authorized copies that are not licensed watches by the Disney Corporation and should not be purchased as they are not worth the asking price! Thats why many are sold for cheap pricing but the shipping it much higher than the asking price of the watch. There are also some sellers selling fake Rolex Mickey Mouse Watches that are pieced together Rolex watches with new dial faces showing Mickey Mouse. The Rolex Corporation HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER  make a character style watch for sale anywhere in the world. I hope this infoprmation will guide you in your decision to purchase and collect Mickey Mouse, Character, Cast Member, and other Disney watches for collecting or wearing.
