Casio AB-200 Databank Watch (Module 321) 18/6/22 Hello fellow Casio watch enthusiasts, collectors and welcome to my post. As the title suggests, this post will be about the Casio AB-200 Data Bank watch. You may be aware (if you have read my previous posts), I have been looking for a good example for a long time now but finally, I have one on it's way to me. The actual watch is the one in the picture below and are the pictures I based my decision on to buy it. They are not the best pictures in the world and to be fair, the watch is not the best example of an AB-200 but it's the best I can afford at this moment. It is finished in silver with as best as I can see, has a white dial. I do believe the AB-200 silver came with either a white dial or a black dial. Whereas the AB-200G (gold) could come with a white, black or gold dial. To be honest I like the silver watch, both with either the white or black dial. I am just pleased to at last secured one! Another cool feature of this wat...
Casio AB-500G Date Bank Watch (Module 386) 23/1/2024 Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the world, I hope you are well. If you have read the post I wrote about watches that I am always searching for, you may know I have had the Casio AB-500 data bank on my want list for many years. There are some examples still around and for sale. However, they are normally very expensive and in very poor condition as you could image a 30 years plus Casio watch would be. Therefore an AB-500 in excellent condition will command a price tag of around £500. Is it worth that kind of money, well, it may be worth that to an avid collector and I have witnessed such purchases. However, I could never ever justify spending that much money on any watch. Anyway, as I was saying I am always looking for rare Casio watches, with the AB-500 near the top of the list. Well, 2 days ago I found one that I could justify spending the money on, but it is in need of a lot of TLC. In this ...
Casio AQ-340 (Module 309) 23/1/22 Hello Casio lovers from around the world. I hope you are all well. In this post I will be writing about buying and restoring (to the best of my abilities) the legendary Casio AQ-340 Analogue & Digital watch that were very popular in the mid 1980's. The very first 80's analogue/digital models were enclosed in a full stainless steel case and strap. A very tough watch indeed. However, that model watch was also very expensive. At around £90 in 1985, it wasn't cheap but it wasn't too expensive either considering the functions it was capable of. There are sadly very few models of that watch have survived to date. From the research I gathered, Casio rereleased the watch again around 1986-87. This time the case was plastic, covered with a chrome plate. The strap was still made of stainless steel as was the back of the watch. I have always loved this style watch not only for it's looks, but also for the many functions it has. It is ve...
