Here's a true 24-hour watch from Russia, Raketa 18-j movement. The second crown is for rotating the disk with world capitals and major cities. I forgot how to use it.

Fun you say?

Well SNOOPY is fun for kids of any age!

Soon to be available in our Chapter 185 On-site Auctions is the one you see below. It is a New-Old-Stock wind-up watch with a 1965 Copyright on the back. Like the Concrete Truck Watch above there's a clear disc in place of a seconds hand. On this one clouds and The Red Baron rotate around "Snoopy The WW I Flying Ace" who is of course really flying his dog house.

Snoopy is always fun, especially on a cool watch like this...

If anyone collects cheap novelty watches, there are some new ones that are basically free that you might be interested in. "Cheerios" and "Honey Nut Cheerios" cereals, the 15 oz. box now has a "Shrek II" movie promotion going on, and they have a series of 10 different digital watches, one free in the box of cereal. Can't beat the price, if you like Cheerios.

So many clocks, so little time.

I thought I would post a couple of my wife Loretta’s fun watches. The first is a Picasso with a bull on the dial. Since we are both Taurus’s I got this for her at a local mart as part of another deal. I don’t remember where I got the other two but what the heck she likes them and has fun wearing them.

I couldn't resist posting this "Fossil Sundial" watch in the fun watches category, although it was posted elsewhere earlier.

Stephanie,

Here is the blue dial Timex watch picture again. I hope this time it turns out in color! The disc it uses instead of a second hand makes the dial change colors as it turns. These are mechanical watches from the 1970s era.

When these were in the stores I bought two of them, one to wear one for my collection. Ole' goofy has a lot of miles on him, but he always starts a conversation. All I have to do is show the watch then ask... "What time is it?" and people really get confused!

Backwards running "Goofy Watch" is lots of fun to wear...

One of my friends just gave me this one.

The watch and lighter both work great!
