The watch belonged to my bother probably back in the 1960.s I think.
It is an electirc watch, white face, has the number 76054671 at top of the watch face, bottom indicates it i a Walt Disney Productions. Inside the case is inscribed as a Great Britain Timex.
Just was curious as to the interest collectors may have for this particular watch and as to the verification of the data found on the watch.

Hello John, your watch is a 1971 Timex. It is an oddity in that it was produced in Great Britain. These watches where the last run of Timex Disney watches until of late. Timex had the contract for Disney up to Jan. 1972, then Bradley (Elgin) took over. They draw a fair interest to collectors. MIB will bring around $200.00. With this one being English,used, and marks on the dial, my guess (just that). It should fetch around $50-100. Hope this helps. Regards, Kerry
Sorry forgot to add, it's mechical movement that is powered by a battery.
