Jim appears to be a very nice piece, could we see the movement. I have seen alot of "Fantasy" watches floating around lately and wouldn't what to mislead you. The casing seems wrong and would like to verify it to be an Ingersoll. I hope I'm just being to jumpy about it, but You would want to know. Best Regards, Kerry
Fabulous watch!
Kerry,
I owe you a debt of gratitude for bringing to my attention the fact that this watch could be a made-up fake. I did get a chance to open the back and to my dismay, it is sadly a made-up watch. Thank you.
Jim
Kerry has a great eye for the smallest detail on watches amazing ! Great help Kerry on this one . Who would have figured that out from the photo . Kudo's
Love the watch anyway though :-)
Jim, sorry it didn't work out, but still a great looking watch. It's always better to know these things. Thanks Mani for the complement and "Kudos". The reason I thought it might be a "Fantasy" watch was the Westclox style casing and the ring line around the edge of the dial. It still looks good and would still fit into a "Mickey Timepiece Collection" as a reproduction piece.
