► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Citizen Vega Popeye digital animation watch, reference 9468-391471, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. This highly collectible character watch features official Popeye artwork and a unique animated display design that made these early novelty digital watches especially popular during the era.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not functioning and completely untested, so it is unknown what the issue is or if it can be fixed. In addition, one of the pushers is missing and should be noted.
When functioning properly, this model features a very unique animated display sequence on the screen involving the Popeye characters.
The watch has signs of use and age, and the photos best describe its physical condition.
