Such a cute and creative way of displaying it. Do they do any more of these type of presentation or just in regular boxes nowadays I wonder?
Thank you mustangtony, bobogal and epson233 for the comments and the love. @bobogal, there are several "Limited Edition" that come in some very nice displays. Some of which are reproductions of the older pieces, retro is how the describe them. :-) Thanks again all.
Thank you Dave, Chris and Mani for showing the love!!
Must be rare to find a box with them or for one of them !
Yes Phil, the boxes were thrown away usually shortly after the child received the watch. Most of those that survived the years, were drawn on and names added and abused or played with to the point of no return. Thanks for the comment and the love!!
