Time for a new 'Retro' fun watch.....

Apr 23, 2014,10:13 AM
 


I remember these when I was a kid and decided to get one for a bit of fun........I present to you the classic A168WG-9EF.......








The wrist shot......




Size comparison.....it is quite small.....




I think watch collecting should be fun too smile
The manual also says it is accurate to +/- 30secs per month.....pretty good eh.

All this for a bargain £35..!!

Hope you enjoy the pics,

andy.

It is great to go back to childhood memories....I also got the calculator watch a few years ago as used in the film Back to the Future :) Another Casio. It's a lot of fun for the money. The house is coming along but it will be a long project before it is ... 

Andy, great score! I found this one in a box of old PE equipment

Comparable era, I guess But I paid big money ($79) for this one! It is fun scraping up nice little pieces for pocket change. The big problem is setting and operating them w/o a magnifying glass! Mike ...  

This, I had used for almost 15 years everyday....

... and it shows it. Bought in 91 as I saw Bill Clinton wearing it when he was the candidate. Paid $20 and served me quite well over 15 years. Wonderful watch. I wore for business, off time, all the time. Interestingly, at that time many wall street guys ...  

Great story...

Haha, does it actually mentions that accuracy? Fun stuff
