Nice selection of watches!  I'll bet that Mickey Mouse one is worth a fortune these days!

I always loved calculator watches, but never got around to getting one.

The Mickey Mouse one is not worth all that much. Not from the earlier runs. By the time this one was purchased for me there must have been tons of these watches on the wrists of kids like me.

That's a surprise- I assumed that all old Disney stuff had significant value.

Still very cool though, regardless of value!  And it's awesome that you still have it all of these years!

All very nice watches.  Do you ever carry the pocket watch?  I have one from about 1885 or so that runs nicely (my grandfather's) but it is never carried.

I carried the pocket watch a few time but not in the past 10 years. Usually at really formal occasions; I try to avoid such affairs :)
