■ Condition

• Movement & Battery Status: RUNNING SMOOTHLY / FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The digital quartz module has been thoroughly operation-tested. The LCD screen segments display exceptionally crisp, solid numeric digits and maintain highly accurate time steadily. All four corner multi-function side push buttons click cleanly and toggle settings properly without any stickiness. The internal amber LED illuminator backlight functions normally. Please note that the exact remaining capacity of the current battery cell is unverified, though it belongs to Casio's high-efficiency 10-year battery cell series.
• Cosmetic / Overall Casing: Excellent pre-owned vintage condition. This timepiece has been exceptionally well-preserved; the dominant dark grey resin case, knurled button guards, and outer text-stamped bezels remain crisp with no deep scuffs, gouges, or active cosmetic wear. The polished stainless steel caseback is very clean with sharp, well-defined manufacturer engravings. The crystal face lens window is exceptionally clear, providing sharp readability of all sub-dials.
• Resin Band Condition: The original black polyurethane strap is in excellent structural shape with a firm resin buckle, holding its correct curves cleanly with minimal micro-signs of handling or past storage. Please inspect all high-resolution photos closely to assess exact condition before buying.
• Water Resistance Note: The casing indicates 10 BAR (100 meters) factory water resistance. However, since this is a vintage pre-owned watch, the original factory internal rubber seals are aged, completely unverified and unguaranteed. Please keep the watch dry and away from deep water submersion until seals are checked.
• Inclusions: The listing contains the watch and integrated resin sports strap only (no original packaging box or manual paperwork included). The steel metal measuring ruler and wooden display block seen in the photos are for sizing and presentation reference purposes only and are NOT included in this sale. It will be wrapped securely in protective bubble wrap for safe international tracked delivery.
