Where can I buy a replacement for my Dad's broken Rodell-7 wrist
watch? It has a black spider mounted on a disk that sweeps out elapsed
seconds across the its spider web face. It has a Japanese movement and
is made in Hong Kong. I asked this question before and it appears
aceresearcher-ga was on the right track when my question expired. The
watch pictured at http://ebay1.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_861213dc3333f91b944ec25bea66f29a/i-1.JPG
looks very similar.

Greetings, izqui!

Thanks for specifically requesting my assistance; I am delighted to
try to help you out.

That particular watch was for sale on e-Bay 
http://www.ebay.com
on December 27, and it is no longer for sale.

However, there are a couple of watches similar to what you are seeking
currently up for auction on e-Bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2609423348

These auctions close at 14:01:09 PST and 19:19:30 PST on next Tuesday,
January 28, so if you are interested in purchasing either or both of
them and you do not yet have an e-Bay account, you will want to start
the process immediately, as it can take a couple of days.

Items similar to this come up for auction on e-Bay all the time; here
are some recent auctions which have been completed:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2603201097
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2605962083
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2606788563
 (no one purchased this last item, so you might contact
  the seller to see if it is still available)

Once you have registered on e-Bay, you can set up an e-mail
notification which will be sent whenever a new item meeting your
criteria comes up for sale.

I used the search words "spider web watch"

http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=spider+web+watch&cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&ht=1&from=R10&currdisp=2&itemtimedisp=1&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&srchdesc=y&BasicSearch=

and "spiderweb watch"
http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=spiderweb+watch&cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&ht=1&from=R10&currdisp=2&itemtimedisp=1&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&srchdesc=y&BasicSearch=

Then (on the left hand side) I clicked on sub-category "Jewelry, Gems
& Watches". (There are a TON of Spiderman novelty watches for sale
under "Movies and Television" and "Collectibles", but I don't think
they fill your bill.)

(be sure to check the box that says search both "in titles and
descriptions".)


Before Rating my Answer, if you have any questions about this
information, please post a Request for Clarification, and I will be
glad to see what I can do for you.

I hope that one of these watches is exactly right for replacing your
Dad's broken watch!

Terrific! I'll join the ebay competition right now. Thanks for the
