1983 Seiko M516-4009 Voice Note as seen in Ghostbusters. Unworn condition. Is there anything more 80s?

A beauty! I have been into seiko calculator watches for a long time. Seiko LCD watches are amazing.

 

I have a couple of those too! And half a dozen other early LCD Seikos. Great watches.

 

How small are the cassettes for that thing?

 

So ugly but so cool! Especially growing up in the 80's, would be a nice piece to own for nostalgic purposes.

 

I just saw one of these for sale for like ten bucks somewhere local, and now I can't remember where it was!

 

No cassettes, it has a RAM chip! To my knowledge, it's the first watch to ever have memory

 

It arrived! Another cool feature of this watch is the case. It's injection molded from a blend of plastic and carbon fibers; a first in the industry. The result is light weight and strong but with a sturdiness and perception of quality that is lacking in plastic-cased watches

 

That is one funky piece. Congrats!

 

What a fun watch! I take it that “water resistant” is not written anywhere on it .

 

Thanks for sharing, a welcome addition to the commonality. Please share a small clip of a recording and a playback.

 

OMG! What’s next?

A Dick Tracy watch where you can call people using it and see their faces?

 

I won't be washing dishes with this one
