    I have no idea what it's worth. But that thing is really cool! Never seen one before, but I want one. :p

    New one on me too, but very cute :D

    Worth is subjective. I wouldn't pay more than $35 for it myself. It's clearly a novelty watch.

    ,,,not the sort of thing James Bond would wear then?

    It has a Wenger logo, but it reminds me more of those Mickey Mouse watches. ;) It would be cooler if you had Macgyver pointing at the time.

    Monocrom Uber Prepared

    Yes he would! . . . If Omega's exclusive contract with the Bond studio was up, they decided not to renew it, and Wenger outbid every other watch brand interested in getting the exclusive rights to have their watches featured in the next film.

    You're kidding, right? If not, then you have some watching to do. He's the ultimate EDC'er, a guy who can make a bomb using a SAK, chewing gum and pocket lint ;)

    I'm only familiar with him myself because Marge's sisters in The Simpsons are big fans of his :)

    boyo17 Uber Prepared

    I've never seen Macgyver or the Simpsons and marge is something my mother used to spread on bread

    Novelty item not something that I would wear. Only my opinion.

    Hello, Boyo17, it appears that this watch is made by Wenger (as Enki noted), rather than Victorinox (although Victorinox now owns Wenger). But, if you searched using "Wenger Knife Watch" you may come up with more of these (along with a lot of others that are just plain Swiss Army ones). Here's one I just located: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quartz-Watc...853921985?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ec3d3a0c1

    Price is a little higher on this one, but I suspect that if you keep looking you will find more of them; perhaps with better prices. Good luck!

    your not from the US are you? I mean no offense, there is just no one who has not heard of the Simpsons hahah

    boyo17 Uber Prepared

    No offence taken or meant,,,,,,,,,You must be from one of the old British Colonies,,,,the USA is it? How is it going for you now??

    ,,,,,,, it has been said that Britain and the US are two Nations divided by a common language :)

    I didn't say I hadn't "heard" of the Simpsons ,,,,,,, just that I had never "seen" them. In the same way I have never been to a MacDonalds or Burger King. I've heard of the TV programme called Macgyver but didn't make the connection

    With ref to the Novelty watch,,,,,,,,,, I wouldn't wear it either but it was for sale at a silly price and I didn't want to miss a bargain. The price has gone up now :(
