Vintage Bradley Disney Watches

Which Disney Resort is every kid's best holiday best destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a TrulyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck . There are always lots of great fun things to do like Character Breakfasts and then there are Pirate Adventures and a heap of other activities to keep them busy all day long.

Many collectors love the Bradley Mickey Mouse Watch.
These have now been retired and collectors like to get them in mint condition.
It is unusual to find a Bradley watch that really IS in mint condition
In the 1950s Disney and Bradley brought out a range of character watches.
Bradley watches had excellent precision Swiss movements and this is one of the features
that collectors really desire.
There are fakes around so beware - the word SWISS must appear on the back of the watch
and Bradley is on the face of real Bradley watches.
As Bradley used graphite oil on these wind-up watches it is fairly easy to get them repaired.
Any competent watchmaker should be able to get even a non-runner going again.
One of the things to look for is a scratched dial. The dials on bradley watches were easily scratched and this serously lowers the value of a bradley watch.
One of the other things to look for in a bradley mickey mouse watch is the strap. These are often quite worn and although you could always replace the strap with a new leather one,collectors really want the original strap in good condition.

Although the external condition of a watch may look good, this is not a guarantee that it is working.
Always ask if the watch is working before you buy it.
After all it may well be over 30 years old !
