    Rare Employee-Only Mickey Mouse Watch Clear Back Swiss 17 Jewel winding wristwatch from approx.1971. Marked Disneyland on dial. This watch was only available at Disneyland park. Marked Walt Disney Productions on the bottom of the dial. The clear back was available to employees only. Excellent condition, winds well and works, very minor wear on dial, not noticeable with naked eye. Tiny occlusion in glass at 4:00. Please see photos.
    The band is a leather replacement.
    My Mother was one of the original Disneyland ticket sellers. She brought this watch home when I was in high school (70-72) and said it was only available for employee purchase. She said the ones being sold to the public outside the park did not say Disneyland on the face, and did not have a clear back, and the employees were allowed to buy one as a special purchase.
    There is currently a comparison auction of the same watch NIB but not the employee model, without the clear back and Disneyland mark that has an asking price of ,200 on Ebay.
