Joe Camel wristwatch

Joe Camel wristwatchBack in the 1980s, R J Reynolds had a big promotion going on and I wanted their watch that had the camel cigarettes logo on it (the actual image from the cigarette package). I didn't know anyone who smoked Reynolds products so I couldn't get it.

Instead I ended up with this, probably in a bag of junk watches. Joe Camel was Reynolds's marketing campaign for awhile, but got killed because it supposedly appealed to kids. I thought it was just lame.
