Part of a long standing range of licensed character watches from the popular Peanuts cartoon. The watch features an image of snoopy playing tennis on a red background. This is a mystery dial watch. The sweeping seconds hand is replaced with a tennis ball which rotates around the dial. The crystal for this watch is unique and can not be found on any other model. There is no 100% accurate replacement available from modern suppliers. The closest is a high dome crystal.

The watch box below is again unique to this piece. It has a white base where as all other Penusts mystery dial watches had a green base. This one has a wide hoop inside which needs to be replaced with the smaller genuine one to be factory correct.

Hi, My name is Mark Rushworth AKA Timetrope on Social Media. Ive been collecting Timex watches for a little over three years. From day one the community of collectors have been very patient and generous for the most part which has kept my interest and engagement in the hobby.

'Ive set up this website partly as a way of cataloging my collection and its many gaps, and as a way of paying forwards the kindness offered to me by Knut, Ian and others (you know who you are).
