Collector's value and market environment
The Ricoh Commander 660 has not been available in stores for years and can only be found sporadically on second-market platforms in Japan, where well-preserved examples are traded at prices around the former retail price – but usually without complete accessories. This complete, virtually unworn set is therefore a particularly rare collector's item of Japanese electronics and watchmaking history.
Warranty (used)
This is a used item. The limitation period for claims based on defects (statutory warranty) is 12 months from delivery.
