I really do not recall too much about the watch over the years. I do know it was sold new at JC Penney's. I was 6, and the sales lady told me it was the only one they had.
It was in the showcase at eye level. (I was 6)
The gotcha was the cars on the second hand as they went round and round the dial, and the checkerboard minutehands.
This is what I recall - I wanted the watch, My mom got it for me for my birthday in 1970. At that time I had a ton of redline Hot Wheels, and Sizzlers, My favorite being the 1970 T/A Camaro, with white stripe (Green #6). I also had the vinal sizzlers case. I recall taking the juce machine out and using it as a lunch box
I guess the watch survived because I kept misplacing it. I found it again when I moved out of the house when I was 21, almost tossed it, Set it aside, and it got packed up and went with me. I left it packed up again and had forgotten all about it until last year when I found it again. Will power? More like dumb luck!! Fate?? 1970 was a good year!
You are bringing him up right!! Cute Kid!
