► 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 operate properly. One of the most charming and unique aspects of this model is its animated cat display, which allows the cat character to continuously cycle through different expressions and emotions in an animation loop as you wear the watch—a delightful and rarely seen feature that adds real personality and makes this piece especially fun and engaging. All parts of the watch are 100% original, including its extremely rare original resin strap, which is almost never found intact. This example is in mint physical condition, with vibrant colors and an exceptionally clean overall presentation. Photos best describe its physical condition and originality. This is an exceptionally rare variant and colorway, and examples like this are almost never offered for sale—particularly in mint condition and fully functional. Even among seasoned Casio collectors, this model is considered a standout.
