gmchris 68 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Couldn't resist this rep Casio for only £8. Keep bidding on real ones on the bay but they fetch 30-40 quid now. Last time I had one of these was 1985 Edited June 9, 2015 by gmchris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted May 28, 2015 Take care of the bracelet size on the copies (they're seriously small) These do bring back memories, combat pistol competitions (back when you were allowed to own a 'y' chromosome in the UK) Score divide time x 10, these where the perfect accessory (Stopwatch and calculator readily to hand) .

ShovelnTC 31 Posted May 28, 2015 Shit, the 80's is still "recent" for me so it doesn't even seem vintage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah those were the days where storing 50 phone numbers in your watch was seriously cool. Kinda wonder how many people would be stuck now if they lost their phone. How do you phone a friend when you don't know their number because you only ever scroll through a list of saved names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmchris 68 Posted May 28, 2015 Cool, gotta link? Just type "gold calculator watch " into Ali, seems to filter out all the dayglo stuff (and yes they do gold lol) some mixed reviews though so be prepared for it to be a $13 gamble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wdev 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Haha, extremely cool Just had my 80's itch scratched a few weeks ago. Never did find my DeLorean again, though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted May 28, 2015 That was the pinnacle of high tech back then, I still have my Casio digital diary in a draw and it still works. I got that for my 21st so 29 years ago. I wonder how many current "smart" phones will work in 29 years?

So I'm stuck. / Those are higly cool watches!!! Keith Lemon wears a gold one too, dunno if that's good or not? I had a rep one of these - the bulkier later version with luminous keypad, from a market in Riyadh while working there in 97, it was ok until the "titanium" wore off to reveal the white plastic underneath about a month later :-). Not planning on wearing this one so intensely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Sorry to go off subject of Casio ... But I know an American doctor who bought Delorean back about 35 years ago. Idiot wakes in the middle of the night and goes to his garage to sit in his Delorean and play. Vroom Vroom he pretend to move, and when he tried to get out, door latch mechanism is jammed. This was a known problem with the Delorean. Of course, he did not know at the time. He tried to get out the passenger door, but he was too close to the wall and the gull-wing door not open. He FAA FAA FAA horns, but his wife did not wake up. Of course, these little windows were too small to crawl out of. So he was sleeping all night in his car. His wife woke up in the morning, thought that he got up early and went to the hospital, so she got dressed and went out the front door, where her girlfriend took her by car to go play tennis, and then she spent the whole day with her friends. The poor man had to take a shit on the front passenger floor. He was still in the car while his wife returned home around dinner time. Not a happy guy. True story. So you just sat in the car with a big turd on the floorboard for hours...Maan. That's brutal. ...Oh, I mean some "American Doctor" "For Christmas 1979, A DeLorean/American Express promotion planned to sell one hundred 24k gold-plated DeLorean's for $85,000 each to its gold card members, but only two were sold....One of these was purchased by Roger Mize, president of Snyder National Bank in Snyder, Texas. VIN #4301 sat in the bank lobby for over 20 years before being loaned to the Petersen Automotive Museum of Los Angeles. The second gold-plated American Express DMC-12 is located at the William F. Harrah Foundation/National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. The third, Now held by a private owner in La Vale, Maryland,is currently for sale at the price of $250,000." -Excerpt from www.deloreanmuseum.org/car.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
