I have vague recollections of seeing somewhere recently that said these were UK release only? Feel free to correct me if wrong.
Officially these are known as Black and Bold Red. They look pretty damn nice I must say, and with a 25% Blue Light discount it was definitely worth it!!
Stock photos, I’ll update with live shots when it arrives:
I like these old, all stainless steel Casio’s, they have a bit of character about them.
These have the 549 module, which has dual time and REM like the 901/691’s did in the 5600C’s/5300’s and probably other vintage Casio’s as well.
So with a few photos, here’s the story from yesterday and this morning:
1. Arrival shots, the crystal and case have marks/scratches…
I didn’t want to hijack his thread with a restoration of my own, so started this one.
So I just won a Japan T, (module 914), from Spain for just less than €20👍. I wanted a cheap one because then…
I think I’ve actually spent a bit more than I really wanted, these somehow seem to always be on sale at too much for me, but I spied one last week and thought “what the hell” to myself so spent…
One of them is this little, (women’s?), pocket watch. It has no brand on either the dial or movement so this might be a bit of a waste of time question, but any info on age, etc, would be nice🙂.
The acrylic crystal has browned with age but is probably replaceable.
The movement is Swiss, and it has a…
I know next to nothing about mechanical watches so forgive my lack of knowledge.
It runs pretty well, but I haven’t tested for timekeeping yet. Can you guys look at the photos of the movement and tell me how I can remove it from the case so I can dunk that in…
I’ve seen the odd Overland on here before in the G and non G WRUW threads and thought they looked pretty good so decided to look for one.
I was surprised to win this for what I did, bearing in mind it’s titanium, (I know nothing about the Overland models so am unsure whether the OAW-100 has more than one version or if only in titanium?). So it was mine for just under a measly £32👍.
Another reason I went for it is because the…
Offered and got accepted at £25!👍
It was up on eBay UK as not working and there’s, (obviously I guess), no bezel. It will also need a new, (DW-6900), strap.
I can get a Malaysian bezel for it, I had one from there for my other 5300 and they’re really good quality, and fit perfectly.
I’ll be checking it with a new battery first!
I do have a query in regards to which model this is though. Checking them out on…
They sent me this message:- “I just won an auction that might be interesting. I would like to ship it to you as a surprise gift, if that is OK with you. It can be shipped directly from Japan to the UK.”
I’m not going to mention who it is yet, or what the conversation chain has been about. I have a vague idea what might be winging it’s way to me sometime soon, but I’ll…
I didn’t like the two 25th models at all, I felt they were a bit “jokey” if that makes sense, they seemed a bit like a kids toy with their crazy LCD background and gloss resins. The three TR 30th models are much more of a proper celebration.
I preferred this black version because the accents like the red lettering and red G in the chrome light button seem to me to stand…
