Rare Vintage Casio Friendly Memo Data Bank DBJ-24 Digital Sports Watch JDM 1980s

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. This example is in full working condition, and all confirmed features and functions operate properly. One of the most charming and unique aspects of this model is its animated cat display, which continuously cycles through different expressions and emotions in an animation loop as the watch is worn—an uncommon and delightful feature that gives this piece real personality and strong collector appeal. This watch is presented in an exceptionally rare white and pink colorway, which is seldom seen even among DBJ-24 examples and is especially desirable for an already scarce model. The watch shows signs of use and age, consistent with a genuine vintage piece. Photos best describe its physical condition. The watch head, case, and internal components are original. The original resin strap has deteriorated from age and is no longer present; the watch is currently fitted with an aftermarket black resin/rubber strap. This is an exceptionally rare variant and colorway, and examples like this are almost never offered for sale. Even among seasoned Casio collectors, the Friendly Memo DBJ-24 with the cat character display is considered a standout piece.
