1980 retro :)

Well, this lovely example of pure nostalgia from the year 1980 - new old stock, no less - landed today. Because it's completely unworn and pristine, I'm not quite sure yet whether it'll stay as a collection piece or will eventually find it's way onto my wrist. if the latter, nothing could be more in tune with the current affection for all things retro, so you never know... in the meantime, though, here's what I'm talking about. The Casio 110QS-37B - and doesn't it take you back?

That's pretty cool. And really lucky that it didn't develop a battery leak in the past 30 years.

I'm glad you got the watch instead of a mullet and some parachute pants.

I was lucky - someone on TZ-UK came across 4 NOS examples, all of which were snapped up in a nanosecond

Hey, great pics. I have the exact same watch... Bought new back in the 80's

I still have it, unfortunately no longer working. I assume it got the Dreaded battery leak mentioned,
