|
The watches are not included! they are for illustrative purposes only!
This decal is for the original BLACK border display bezel CFX-40 - as seen in picture 4.
NOT the later silver border display bezelled CFX-40, The keypad colours are different with this version. See other listing.
The 1985 vintage Casio Scientific calculator watch CFX-400 or CFX-40 is maybe the best ever Scientific Calculator Watch. Only the Citizen 9140A comes close.
Like all Casio membrane-keypad'ed watches of that era, they suffered one flaw.
The decal layer of the keypad fades and cracks and becomes unreadable.
As an owner and designer I decided to re-author the artwork to match the font style and colours of the original decal, then, have laser printed on professional polyester backing, then over-laminated with an additional clear polyester layer to create a Scratch Resistant, self adhesive, long lasting solution to the problem.
This will not fix non-functional keys. This premium decal brings back the original look and value of the CFX-40 (resin finish) watch.
This is a listing for one untrimmed decal with the BLACK border, If you want the gold border (For CFX-400) see other listing.

These replacement self adhesive long lasting polyester, laser printed decals replace the worn, cracked, faded or gone keypad decals of the vintage Casio membrane keypads.
These replacement decals will fit the chrome, black plastic or gold finish watches, see pictures.
Graphics re-manufactured faithful to original details and colours. For use with Casio Module 463, check back of watch for module number.
You will receive one newly manufactured matt-laminated decal plus some excess adhesive polyester for use as mentioned below.
The watches are not included, they are for illustrative purposes only.
Method:
This is not hard, use the excess polyester to practice trimming the label with sharp scissors or better still a steel ruler and scalpel blade.
Use IPA alcohol or methylated spirit to clean the surface before fixing new decal, to ensure good adhesion.
I include extra adhesive polyester as either blank area or additional decal in order to prime the surface to ensure good adhesion of final decal.
Simply use the additional adhesive label to press on and remove from the keypad surface, do this several times to remove any contamination after cleaning the keypad as mentioned. This will create a tackiness on the surface to make a much more permanent fixing.
Peel the decal backing away only once you are happy that you have trimmed to the right size and shape.
Ensure that you have the top edge of the decal straight with the keypad position, then press firmly down.
Bring that vintage calculator watch back into circulation with a bright fresh decal, either to use again or to tidy up for selling.
The value of these vintage watches are increasing massively.
This method does not destroy the original keypad, so at a later date, if you decide to sell with original faded and cracked decal, the new decal can be carefully removed.
The badly aged keypad decal destroys any pride of ownership.
Look at the before and after pictures, improve yours now.
