Any "vintage" Casio experts out there?
My wife's been having a clearout, and found my old Casio from about 25 years ago, which I thought I had lost. Does anyone know anything about these? I remember it was quite expensive at the time, for a digital anyway.
thanks in advance

Yes , I happened to have a similar watch and these were Protek professional series watches. The watch you have has 2 sensors one Altimeter a great while trekking and mountain climbing and second Thermometer.
While my watch was slightly more advance with triple sensor that adds even a compass. I will share the pics here. Let me tell you these are highly collectible and have its own fan following. I had just listed mine on our local classifieds and was bombarded with offers and sold it above my asking price. Its still working in perfect condition with very rough usage by me.IMG_20181002_100019.jpegIMG_20181002_100025.jpegIMG_20181002_101352.jpegIMG_20181002_101407.jpegIMG_20181002_101422.jpegIMG_20181002_101443.jpegIMG_20181002_101452.jpegIMG_20181002_101507.jpegIMG_20181002_101547.jpeg Sent from my Z2121 using Tapatalk

I think I paid about $200 for mine in 1992. Looking forward to firing it up with a new battery and see what happens. Hopefully the old one hasn't leaked.
