Just curious the value of this watch. It was given as a gift by my ex-husband in 2004. I'm afraid to wear it as an everyday watch.

Very nice "Mickey" timepiece. Sorry I need better picture of the watch itself to help you with the value, from what I can see it appears to me in very good condition but if you post a larger picture of it, I'll try to help. You've seem to have all the original package with it, that increases to collector value. Again, for what I can make out, It's a VERY collectable Mickey. Hope to be hearing and see more from you. Thanks for sharing this .
Thanks. I added a picture. I do have everything but the receipt as it was a gift. I just don't want to wear it as an everyday watch if it is something difficult to replace. It is my "nice, dress up watch".
Is this newest picture yours or have you copied it? The picture you have posted looks to be one of an earlier posting by a friend of mine. If this is your watch and in that condition, around $450-700. These are hard to find in mint condition, I wouldn't wear, once you do, it loses some of it's collector value. Again, this latest picture seems to be this one posted on another CW patrons site. Here's the link to same, but I think you already know that.

It is the same picture. I couldn't get a good close up with my cell. Okay, I will quit wearing it and save it for my step-daughter as a memento of the trip. The watch is in great condition. I just had it inspected at a jewelry store and they mentioned it was in great condition. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing yours, and I understand the getting a good picture delemia, I have the same trouble a lot. Again, thanks for sharing yours and hope I've answered your question.
