I won this for just over £25 a few days ago, and got it through yesterday. Sold as not working but I was sure it would be ok.

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:

Nice little vintage Casio W-780 back to life🙂

I’ve been looking for a cheap enough vintage DW-5900 to go for the same restore job as @Deity42 has recently done in his thread here:
5900 crystal clean

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…

Well I haven’t done a nice mod/project for a fair old while, I’ve had something in mind for a long time, and I needed a specific G to do it with. I’ve had other bits and pieces ready to go for as long as I’ve had this particular idea, it the watch itself has been kind of elusive at the right price.

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…

DONE: It will soon be time for another mod – Spring/Summer?

Not a G I know, but I thought I’d share this eBay win anyway.

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…

So today I had a PM from an F17 member who I’ve recently been chatting in Messages with about a particular item.

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…

F17 members really amaze me sometimes!
