► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio A201 “Blue Thunder” men’s digital alarm chronograph sports watch from the early 1980s, powered by Module 103. This Japan Domestic Market (JDM) release is one of Casio’s most iconic early digital designs and remains highly sought after by collectors of early Casio digital models. Please note: this watch is being sold for parts and repair due to the bottom left pusher not properly engaging the module. The watch is running; however, the functionality is affected by this issue. In addition, the module has slight screen bleed along some of the edges of the display. Due to these issues, it is being offered strictly as a parts or restoration project. All parts of the watch head are original, and the watch is currently fitted on an aftermarket stainless steel Alba strap. The watch has heavy signs of use and age consistent with a vintage 1980s sports model. The photos best describe its overall physical condition and should be reviewed carefully before purchasing.
