ttomtucker, you've got it happen here. FYI the lorus mickey wristwatch is an ebay goody, 1987-88 remake of the first mickey watch, the larger one,which this one seems to be, brings a fair price. I really, really like the batman, I don't have one of them, lol. Thanks for sharing these.
By the way, what does the batman watch have printed on the dial? And who made it?
On the front face it says MY 9-21-86, no other marking.
Real nice watch's .I like the Mickey watch and Batman. well done.Frosty21
