144.0. "Mickey Watches" by NITMOI::WITHERS (So shines a good deed in a weary world..) Fri Oct 27 1989 14:38

Can anyone tell me if a Mickey Pocket Watch exists?  I've looked some but
have never seen such an animal. (pardon the pun).

144.1yes they do!USCTR2::HEDEFri Oct 27 1989 21:214
    
    I did see them when I was down there last week in some of the fancier
    shops.  I can't remember which one, but I am pretty sure it was
    in one of the parks.
144.2Magic Kingdom or Village Watch ShopUSCTR2::TOMYLJoel R. Tomyl DTN 297-4282Sat Oct 28 1989 23:422
    Check out the watch shop on Main Stree USA in the Magic Kingdom
    or the Watch Shop over in the Walt Disney World Village.
144.3Bought oneVICKI::STANLEYMon Oct 30 1989 14:519
    Bought one when we down there in Aug. most shops had them, even
    the trading post at the campground. They were $49.95.  The best
    place would be the Main store at the Disney Village, because you
    can get the 10% discount with the Magic Kingdom card.
    Every little bit helps.

144.4Really?NITMOI::WITHERSSo shines a good deed in a weary world..Tue Oct 31 1989 08:415
What sort of design is on the outside?  Also, does anyone know if I could 
get such a thing through a catalog or order number as 1500 miles is a bit
much to buy a watch (though it *is* a good excuse for a vacation!).

    See note 55.8 for catalog addresses and phone numbers.
144.6DREAMN::BRYDONThu Nov 02 1989 14:093
    
    You might want to try one of the Disney Stores.  (Burlington Mall
    and Pheasent Lane Mall are two that I know of)

144.8Mickey's on the frontVICKI::STANLEYFri Nov 03 1989 10:049
    The watch is very thin with no front covering like you see on
    traditonal pocket watches,Mickey is on the front.  Guess you have
    checked catalogs by now and don't know if you had luck there, but
    I noticed that all the stores that carry disney products (k-mart,
    service merchanndise, etc) and they are the legitimate ones Lorimar
    brand, have only the wrist watches.  Please let us know if you have
    any luck.

144.9...in holding pattern above NH...NITMOI::WITHERSSo shines a good deed in a weary world..Fri Nov 03 1989 10:0714
    Ok..
    
    The catalogs don't seem to be any help.  I called the catalog and they
    said they didn't have it.  Next in line was the Disney Stores.  The one
    in the Pheasant Lane Mall (NH) said they had them but haven't had any
    come in for a long time.  I told her to check into it and I'd call
    back.
    
    Thats were we currently stand in the great-mouse-in-your-pocket-watch
    search (circa 1989).

144.10let your fingers do more walking!OFFPLS::HODGESWed Nov 15 1989 14:479
    18 months ago, I stopped at something "administrative looking" in the
    Disney Shopping Village and tried to get a catalogue.  I was told that
    now you could write and describe anything you'd seen at Disney and
    they'd send it to you (charged to your major credit card, of course!)
    They said they were doing that in lieu of the catalogues that they had
    done several years ago.  So you might try calling the Disney Village!

144.15Is it 8:45 or 3:15?LABRYS::GIBSONWed May 02 1990 16:2011
    After being on back order since mid-January, I finally got my
    backwards Goofy watch from the Disney catalog on Monday. The numbers 
    are backwards, the hands go backwards, and it takes me about 1.5 minutes 
    to figure out what time it is, but I love it! And it came just in time
    to wear on my trip!
    
    This particular edition was only 5000, but I was told that Lorus will be 
    coming out with one with a silver face and a black band. More will be 
    available soon.

144.16Info on Goofy WatchBSS::WALTERSFri Sep 20 1991 10:329
    
    I have seen two versions of the Goofy watch that runs backwards.
    I believe both of them are made by Lorus but there's a pretty
    big price difference.  Does anyone out there know what the
    differences are between the 2 versions?
    
    Thanks for your help,
    
    Kitty
144.17Two different brandsGEMINI::GIBSONFri Sep 20 1991 14:2311
    There are actually three versions. 
               1. Limited Edition - goldtone case with brown strap
                  made by Pedre. Have sold for up to $3,000!
               2. Silvertone with black strap by Pedre $75
               3. Silvertone with black strap by Lorus  $39.95??
    
    The Lorus is an imitation of the Pedre and is a little smaller. 
    I have both #1 (don't wear it - might use it to finance a WDW trip) and 
    #2. It seems a little large for a woman's wrist.
