Nice rare find, love the colors! The watch came out after 1994 as someone have allready mentioned it in the comment section. Some advice for cleaning/servicing : first you should remove the straps, open the watchcase to check the caseback seal, close it back, and only immerse the watch in water if the seal is OK. Otherwise you can clean it with a dry/semi-wet microfiber cloth or papertowel. Its was a 100m watch so maybe it has independent little rubber rings for each pushers, which still retains some basic waterresistance for the watch after these years. If the caseback seal (o-ring) is OK, you can grease it up and the watch is ready to go. Btw it is possible that this watch module is interchangeable with the a168/f105 modules.
Thank you for the practical advices. I will definitely open it again, just to check the o ring. I will let you know if it will fit the a168. By the module nb, these are different
@@cj80gdi You're welcome! Looking forward your update on this one! It usualy depends on the thickness of the module, the LCD-diameter and the 3 button layout are similar on these retro casios.
This watch was used right near the end of the movie, Enemy of the State, so definitely 90s vintage. I also believe the higher the water resistance, the stiffer the springs in the pushers are.
I don't think that the Casio electro Iuminator was something available on Casio watches back in the 80's. Therefore, my guess is that this watch released around 93-94.
I wore this watch through high school when the poor strap design with the holes became obvious, as it snapped on that weak spot. Of course in that time there was no easy way to order a new strap in my part of the world, and it would also cost more than the watch itself. Always the same story with Casio and their custom watch straps.
I wish casio brought this one back, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
timeless piece!

@@valengreymoon5623 thanks for the comment! Your statement in regards springs could be true
Casio klasik yang bagus..tak lekang oleh waktu.

It s good to have this input. Thanks! Maybe in the end i could identify the release year
@@cj80gdi Pacparts, which sells Casio parts, states that the W-741 was released in 1995.

And this would be in the beginning of 90s, right?
@@cj80gdi More like the beginning of 2000s
Prise
I do not understand what you mean? If you want to know how much I paid, that would be 19 euro
