I keep coming back to this one, but no lightbulb moment.
Job done/completed?
Watch/dial?
Prince/purple/revolution?
Pull/tug/strain?
Phial/tube?
Not the slightest clue on this one!
You have the answers, or nearly, for all but clue #2. Is there anything unusual about the watch?
I will add another hint:
#3. The name of the band is suggested by the last clue, though it should really come first in this rebus.
Hands up, I had to do a bit of googling!
Tick - completion
Backward dial
Prince
Pull
The Tubes
German Horch Automobile?
Active between those years
German state flag
Horch logo
Car
