Ingersol Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch
Just received this Ingersol Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch.

Is the back and bezel screw on and off, pop on and off or permanently sealed? Do not want to put too much pressure on it until I know. It runs great and keeps good time.

Anyone had experience with this one?
It is a commemorative piece , not old, I would think 1990 forward. Just a niece novelty piece to have.

David, I an fairly certain they are friction fit.Not much reason to take them off.

Phil is correct David, they are "snap-fit" and can be a little difficult to open.

And I would also agree on Phil's assessment that there is not much reason to remove the back or bezel. But if you just cannot resist Razz check closely for a groove around the case-back and pry very, very carefully.

For fun check this: Find-Or-Search for "Mickey Mouse"

Your replica Mickey resembles these original 1930s versions...

Thanks for the info. I have no intention to take it apart as it is good running order. don't want to slip and scratch the unmarked surface.

Anyone know where you can find those paper seconds wheels with the three Mickeys on it? I need one.

Tom, I agree with Jerry, we would have buyers for your Mickey!

And John, an IHC Member Bill Selover has the replacement seconds discs.
