Riquartz gold tone

Post16 Jul 2014, 17:55

Here my new entry: Riquartz gold tone from 1977 or 1978
Bought for only 20 euro and running great.The band isn't original but i choose the best match possible with a black crocodile leather one (i think that back in time was used in this model :scratch: ).
The module is the same used by Pulsar dress version with high quartz accuracy...just only time,date and light...

Enjoy :-D

I really like Ricoh, but at the same time i don't like gold plated watch.

It's a good catch, for only 20€, but the module has too much black plastic :grin1:!!


Please, can you tell me it's accuracy? I'm really curious!

Nice watch, I always considered buying a Ricoh LCD.
Perhaps you have a side by side picture of this one and the Pulsar LCD?
I believe the Ricoh will be bigger in size, that's also the reason why I never bought the Pulsar which seems to be tiny.
Surprisingly with the decline in LED sales Pulsar not only decided to in-source Sanyo LED modules but chose the easiest way to earn a buck by ordering Ricoh modules to fit them to a Pulsar case.
In the global World of today almost everything is made that way with only the label/packaging changing color :(

I have both...well the Pulsar lcd 1977 is smaller than this Ricoh (this use a bigger case)...unfortunatly i can't wear my pulsar dress version 'cause i have a very small wrist and the band isn't adjustable enough (due the mesh band!!).... :oops:
