Originally Posted By hightp tinklover, I'm sorry that this doesn't answer your question, but you can get a personalized watch at a Walt Disney World store on Main Street (I don't know if it's a watch store, or crystal shop). They are not inexpensive. An artist draws, in color, the character you request (along with your name). The drawing is then reduced, and made into the watch face. You recieve the full size drawing along with the watch. I believe it is about $300. If WDW has such an item, I can't imagine DL would not. Good luck with your search.

I think the Disney catalog lets you put your own name on the watch. You can't do that at Disneyland, and you wouldn't want to. Like at WDW, the watches range in price from about $200 to $500. /cs

Actually, you can, but that's a much longer process, involving lots of approvals. I've not done it myself, but I know people who have. /cs

Originally Posted By cstephens I think you have to first decide which artist you want to use, because there's more than one. I don't know if you come up with the actual picture or they do. I suppose you ask to see what needs to be done. As I said, I haven't done it, but a friend did, so I don't know the details. /cs
Originally Posted By wa6oqc I have purchased a watch for my wife. Each of the artists have their own list of characters that Disney allows them to draw. That is where the book comes into the picture. You can check the book for the characters that the artist may draw. If there is a particular character you want ask. We had Todd and he did Minnie in an airplane for us. What makes it more fun is during the day you can keep returning to the shop to watch the artist drawing your watch. We were very pleased with the artwork on the watch. You also get the origional artwork so you can really see the detail that goes into the watch.
