    Did anyone ever buy this watch?...

    I'd be interested to know if anyone ever brought the beatles watch? I was quite interested at the time as I thought it might be a collectors piece but then the novelty wore off.

    I didn't, even though I love The Beatles... perhaps that's why.

    To me it's just like these watches dedicated to military divisions, historic planes, cars etc. Unless there is a historical affiliation between the watch and the beatles (e.g a re-release of a watch one of them wore), then it's just a shameless money grab!

    Looks like one of those old Franklin mint collectors watches for £25

    A bizarre "homage" as far as i'm concermed; stick the names of some of their records on a dial and it's a Beatles watch ? Bonkers.

    There was a thread here about it. The watch wasn't popular.

    Even if it's cheap, I'll let it be.

    I probably shouldn't be laughing so hard at all these 'puns', but ah well.

    Do we think the bezel is a revolver? That would please please me.

    I'll stop now.

    I can think of lots of better uses for £975...

    Eleanor Rigby,
    Looks at the watch on the wrists of her man,
    Thinks it's so bland.
    He looks out the window, wearing a watch
    That he bought when the price hit the floor.
    What is it for?

    Why would it be collectable?

    A Beatles watch worth having would be a minute repeater that played, say, the first few bars of, say, Hey Jude? But that didn't say 'Beatles' anywhere.
