Nice little vintage pickup

Just got this today, SO11 circa 1980 according to Digital-Watch.com

It's not working quite right, no light and for some reason the seller says the display is dim in timekeeping but sharp in timer and stopwatch?

He has put a new battery in, so ma…

A tale of two mods!

A lot of you here know my history of restorations and mods, so here we are with my latest attempt at a mod, which actually turned into stopping one and starting another😂.

Basically it was because I ran into a potential issue with carrying on with the …

A couple of nice vintage eBay wins

Fingers crossed on these two🤞.

I put one bid in for each of them and got them both!

No 1:
AW-570 – Standard version, not the Mudman. Described as not working, but won for just over £15 so definitely worth the gamble:

A lovely vintage added

Well another eBay find after a bit of "Vintage Casio Watch" trawling👍.

I'm seriously loving the 1980's Casio's, and this one is in about as good a state as you could find for a 45 year old watch!

It should just need a new bat…

Question re: vintage 5600 screwbacks

I found out something last night that I hadn't been aware of so wondered if any of you aficionados had any knowledge ?

So I sold one of my 5600C's just because I had double of the 901's. The buyer let me know last night that it had arr…

Texas Instruments Series 500 LED watch

So….

I'm usually over on the G-Shock/Casio forum, but have come on this to ask if anyone has any working knowledge of the above watch at all?

DW-6600 fixer on the way

Found another one to try to fix 👌🤭.

This one is coming from the States with the eBay GSP, it will probably take a while knowing eBay.

It's already in bits, taken apart for whatever reason. The seller says it's only got a partial display, h…

Believe it or not – I just bought a WORKING vintage Casio😲😂

Shock, horror!!

What's happened to me, I've bid on and won an actual working watch!! There won't be anything to do apart from a possible light clean😱.

No needing to fix it or install a new battery, no need to make a huge long, step by…

Oh dear, I got into a bidding war!

Hello, my name is Soda and I'm a vintage Casio addict!😂

I had a small joblot on my watchlist and it was ending last night. One of the three in question was an H-101 Marlin, working and in great condition, (battle scars included!). My initial bi…

One more vintage Casio for the collection!

Another addition then👍😂.

I love the old stainless steel 1980's Casio's as I think you guys may already know!🤣

I had enough £'s in my eBay balance to cover this one, so was able to kind of get this one for nothing.

Non working, but tha…
