Casio Flip Top Calculator

[nixon1990]

Hello,

Remember these? Its most likely worthless as collecting goes. But its a nice design, a sort of discrete claculator watch (nerd in disguise). I just got this one new off an old electronics store, i havn't seen one for years. It has no digital watch functions, its simply an analogue watch, with a calculator behind.
It has a sort of ugly charm

And actually quite valuable as desirable Casios go- the plastic film keyboard on these has a nasty tendency to crack and fall off. To see one in pristine condition is really quite rare- where did you say that shop was :D

Nice find - Ed sold one off his retroleds site a while ago for $85.

Thanks for the comments.
Wow after looking at that link I think I will have to go back to that shop this weekend and have a better look around :D See if there is anything else.

Hoping to post up a slew more before the end of this week, 7-8 Pulsars and about the same number of Bulova drivers..

That calc. was a good find for me, I turned a little profit and it was a great deal for the next guy 8) ....find'm, fix'm, clean'm and make an honest wage for my part. All the dirty stuff you don't want to think about.

I recently got one of these (a coloured version) from a Japanese website (for $45 )


Does anyone know anything about these watches - versions, colours etc? and are some rarer than others?

AWESOME!! The black and white one is kind of rare, but I have never seen one in those colors...probably one of those items that was designed for a specific country market - that thing is almost as bright as plate of 'sushi'. Good catch!
