What time is it? Mickey time

Oh, the squabbles over this watch. This was given to me by my Aunt, who is a great jewellery lover and collector of watches - some bling, some kitsch, some costume; as long as the piece is bold, she'll have it. Can't remember if she gave me this for me or for the girls when they got older, but the strap size has been reduced and extra holes put in (I hope it isn't worth a fortune) and it normally resides in Ellie's jewellery box. Anna got her hands on it this morning; Ellie was not happy. I tried to point out that Ellie has a watch that actually works (Mickey needs a new battery) and that Anna can't tell the time so this is perfect for her, but Ellie wasn't having it. Cue fighting, pulling, screaming and name-calling. I said Anna could wear it today and Ellie could have it tomorrow - fight over. UPDATE - Ellie is like an elephant, she never forgets. This morning she marched into Anna's room, grabbed the watch and put it on. Cue fighting, pulling, screaming....
