GOLD! Always believe in your soul. You’ve got the power to KNOW, you’re inde-structible. Wise words indeed. Meet the Casio databank watch in gold with all the bells and whistles. It’s an NOS unused piece and is split shiny new condition – even comes with a wee instruction book in case you get lost. I’d doubt severely if you actually wanted to use this databank to watch to keep data in, but if you do, it’s more than adequate. The primary function of this watch is LOOKING COOL. Which it does with aplomb.

Fantastic gold Casio databank watch and gold watches have suddenly become cool again. Don’t ask me why. Certainly stands out when one has a black t-shirt on.

PRICE: Approx £70 / 1050 SEK + shipping

Novus 1970’s classic gold LED watch

Well well well. I’ve finally got my filthy hands on one of these highly saught after Novus LED watches. Not only is this a rare, working bling-filled watch, it’s in A1 MINT CONDITION!

This is from circa 1975 ( I think, don’t quote me on that exact year ) and it runs really well.

Sparkling gold, bright red LED display, brushed metal, it has the ORIGINAL Novus Strap – this is unusual for a watch of this era…. This watch is a collector’s dream.

PRICE: £125 / 1600 SEK + shipping

Compuchron LED watch in gold

This is a pre-owned Compu Chron LED watch from the 1970’s. This watch is rare and is in good condition. It’s cheap because there is some scratching on the red face of the watch. This doesn’t detract from the watches charm significantly, and the watch keeps great time and runs well. The LED display is completely visible, but the red glass could do with being swapped for a new one.

The rest of the watch – the face, the strap etc – is perfect and the batteries are brand new. To summarise, when the red LED is pressed, this is the only time the imperfection on the glass is noticeable, so if you want to wear a very very very cool 70’s watch at a helluva great price, then maybe this is the watch to start your LED collection…

PRICE: £50 / 750 SEK + shipping
