Ye Olde Watch Giveaway

This really is the nicest corner of boards!

I've been looking out for a yellow diver for ages so I'll throw my name in the hat when it goes up

I'll have a dig in my collection and see do I have anything worth giving away

What a worthy cause to donate to helping children deal with grief.

Congratulations Oxocube!
Drop me a PM with your address and I'll have it on the way to you ASAP.

Thanks to Smartin-Martin's yearn for the green and the generosity of all who contributed.
The Childrens Grief centre have told me that us weird watch folk accidentally raised over €700 based on comments, times and their best guess

Ye are all bloody legends!

Wow. I don't know what to say but thank you. PM on the way

Congrats Oxo and banie for the watch.
Would you have the model no for it?

Not at hand at the moment RC but I'll dig it out in the morning.

Fair play Banie and to everyone who donated.

I came across this Casio in the bottom of a drawer recently, someone gave it to me new around 10 years and don't think I've ever worn it. Happy to send it to someone if they have a use for it.

It says "10 YEAR BATTERY" on the face and I can vouch for that, as the battery is still going and I certainly never changed it.

Condition wise it's fine to ok, the bracelet is very light and there are some light scratches on it, probably from being knocked around in a drawer over the past decade! It's cheap and cheerful, might be a nice watch for a kid or someone looking for a beater.

Model is Casio Telememo 30 aq-180w.








The analog dial is telling different time to the digital, it can be set by following the underneath instructions:

Set the analog time on your Casio Telememo 30 wrist watch. Press the bottom left button six times in quick succession to access the hand-setting mode on the watch. Press and hold the top left button until the digital time display begins to flash, indicating that you have accessed the analog time-setting screen. Press the bottom right button repeatedly to advance the hands by a few seconds each time; hold down the button to advance the hands more quickly. Release the button when the watch hands reflect the desired time. Press the top left button to exit the settings screen and the bottom left button to return to regular timekeeping mode.

I just remembered this thread when I saw the Casio peeking out of my drawer this morning! What's hilarious is that more people liked Lorddrakul's "not for me" post than the actual watch post

If no other interest, then I guess it's between dinorebel and hammerdub. I'll give it 'til tomorrow am and then announce a winner.

Totes awks mo... Three people liked my post about the Casio and all three people have since been in touch to say they were only thanking the post and don't want the watch

If no takers here, I'll add it to the charity pile and drop off after lockdown. However if you or your kid would like it, just drop me a PM and I'll pop in the post :pac:

I wonder if it would be a lot easier just have people post saying they'd be interested, I've noticed the last few watches there's always mix ups about thanking the post, especially for non regular users

Aww, the poor casio. The watch nobody wanted

Must be a first

Hibernation.

Once An Post get on top of deliveries I plan to stick up a Timex Indigo up for anyone interested.

It is a thread that is based on generosity and as such is an occasional thread. So you could say it is hibernating at the moment.

Just wondering if this thread is just gone into hibernation or is it deceased

I'll throw my hat in the ring for this one, fair play.

Well done Dakar for putting this watch up, great to see this thread re awaken again. Its a credit to all who are willing to share their love for watches with others.

I'll throw the names in a hat this evening and pick a winner.
