Yeah, I realize it's just a laser-printed sticker on a Chinesium watch face, but of all the watches like this on ebay, this is probably the coolest. I might even have to buy one of these.

They are on ebay. Prices are all over the map, but apparently the shipping cost is adjusted so they all end up at about $18 or so, delivered. Like I said, these are not the highest quality watches.

These watches remind me of the Fine quality clock I bought sometime back.
6 months and the minute hand quit, but hour hand still works.
Go figure, $20 all in. Good enough for the shop.

I may have to get me one of those tic-tac-watches.

Haven't worn a watch in years but that would make for a cool wall clock in any shop.

Yeah, I posted that one a few weeks ago, since it is obviously a 1969 fender emblem...

Since then, I've seen them with 1968 emblems.

Bid on watch with the tach and gauges. Luckily I was outbid because when I went back to item, it was with speedometer. Have not had any luck locating another one with tach and gauges, yet.

Gauge Cluster version is:

And the Tic-Toc-Tac version should show up in the 'People also viewed..'

I just typed rally pack watch into the ebay motors search box. 5-6 of them came up on the first page.

Got this one yesterday.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1968-19...p2047675.l2557

It's just a sticker of a picture but for $17.25. It's about what I expected, did take forever to arrive. Paid on Feb. 05, received on March 06.

That's the same one I got. I think mine took about three weeks. It's difficult to see the watch hands against the background. Personally I think it would have been better if they had left the hands off the picture of the clock and painted the watch hands orange like the ones on the Tic-Toc-Tach.
