► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Casio Friendly Memo Data Bank men’s digital sports watch, reference DBJ-24, powered by Module 1537 and produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. This highly sought-after model is part of Casio’s playful and innovative Data Bank lineup and features the much rarer cat character variant rather than the more commonly seen human character version.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions are operating properly as intended. One of the most distinctive features of this model is its animated cat display, which cycles through different expressions and emotions, giving the watch a unique personality and making it one of Casio’s more unusual vintage digital designs.
This particular example is especially noteworthy for its extremely rare turquoise, blue, and translucent pale-yellow colorway. The DBJ-24 is already an exceptionally difficult watch to find, and locating one in this unusual color combination makes this a very special piece for the serious vintage Casio collector.
All parts of the watch are original, including the original Casio resin strap with its matching colored buckle and keeper. Finding one of these watches still complete with its original strap is particularly uncommon given the age and tendency of vintage resin components to deteriorate over time.
The watch is in excellent vintage physical condition with light signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
