Hi Sully, Re Item number: 140289868775

I noticed that one also, very interesting looking watch which I think sold for quite a cheap price. Not sure how old it was, whether it was a 70s or a later 80s piece or if it was a genuine LED or backlit LCD display, looks like a proper LED but hard to tell from the photo's.

Does anyone have any information on the watch?

Not seen one like it before anywhere!

Well, it's LED, very rare, very cheap ( wished i had bid on it ) and from the 70's that's all i know.

Sully - you can paste using the "Edit-Paste" feature up on your browser's toolbar. Anyway...the Aitron "Wristo" has a real LED movement, 6 transistor AM radio. Uses one AA for radio and 2 #386s for the LED movement. Wrist radios(preferably with clock) are one of my arcane collecting passions
