In 1971 Timex introduced the first battery operated Mickey Mouse watches. They were available in both gold toned and chromed cases. Here we have a gold toned case example I just bought as a BIN off eBay for $8.00. Based on the sellers pictures it was quite easy to see it was messed with at some point ( no hands or crystal). But, I figured for 8 bucks it worth a shot. So lets see what we have and what can be done. At this point it look promising since the balance and hairspring are intact. So I continue with the breakdown and do find one dial tab is snapped off. Not much of an issue.

I have a 70s Mickey Mouse watch. My local watch repair person said there was no use trying to repair it because the stem was missing. Is this true? I am new to watch repair, but not to the skills needed and I would like some experienced hand to advise on whether 1) replacing a stem is possible and 2) whether this procedure is beyond the ability of a newcomer. I am confident that if it can be done, I can do it with the aid of the many tutorials and information I see on this site. Thanks in advance for any advice/help anyone can give me. Anthony
