    Marx Wrist Watches



    That Neal Adams shot of Superman on the card art is some of my favourite pieces of the man of steel, that's how I picture him.

    Those are neat. I never had a cool watch as a kid. I had the same Timex watch from when I was 5 til I was 16. (it took a licking and kept on ticking, then it was stolen).

      The hands on the Batman and Superman watches are in unfortunate spots. 6:30 will look kind of odd.

        I agree on the Neal Adams Superman. A truly iconic image. That Batman image has me stumped. I'd love to see it up close.

        I had the Superman watch as a kid. That thing was HUGE. I think it stuck out about 4 inches away from my tiny little wrist. I loved that thing. I swore my mom kept it, but I've yet to come across it in her things.

          The only watches to note from my youth were the Casio calculator watches. Everyone I knew went crazy over them!!! Now if I could a Batman watch tomorrow. I'd wear it all the time.

                  I had that Mickey Mouse watch to. I always wonder what happened to stuff like that.
