    I found this mint, still on the card 1990 Apple Corp Beatles watch at a yard sale last week-end. I googled it, trying to get an idea of it's value but I couldn't find another example anywhere!
    Has anyone seen or heard of this watch?
    Thanks all.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It's interesting that George Harrison's signature is by Ringo Starr's picture, and vice versa. Seems like a mistake! Maybe that's part of the reason you haven't found any.

    The Yellow Submarine had a Vending Machine full of them.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I would definitely hold on to that until I had some certainty... a mistake about the Beatles by their own company and you can't find another online??? I'm just sayin'.

    The photo at the top is Ringo and has George's signature above it. The photo at the bottom is George and has Ringo's signature below it. Believe me -- I used to be an intense fan and used to know just about everything about them.

    Suggests to me that it is a knock off, not officially sanctioned by Apple Corps. Pix on the package are adaptations of the photos on the cover of the album With the Beatles/Meet the Beatles. Photo on the watch face is the one you kept getting when you bought the bubble gum that came with Beatle cards.

    I saw them twice, in Detroit. I emphasize saw, you couldn't hear them for the screaming.

    And 'Temlex' seems contrived to make you think Timex.

    Yes, looks bootleg. I used to sell similar watches in my record store in the 80’s. sold for about 20AUD. Wouldn’t be worth a great amount nowadays, since everyone in the record store game had these.
    There was a range which included KISS, The Stones, Metallica, Roy Orbison and Dylan. Cheap, Chinese.
