!Best Ever! matt/textured polyester laminate, very close to original - except without the fading and cracking.

Check out my feedback, i have had much +ve feedback with these decals.
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 matt/textured polyester layer to create a Scratch Resistant, self adhesive, long lasting solution to the problem.
I have had a limited batch of decals made, as this is not a common watch.
When they are gone, they are gone.
This will not fix non-functional keys. This premium decal brings back the original look and value of the CFX-40 (resin finish) watch.
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.
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 laminated, pre-trimmed 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, do not remove old decal if still attached, you run the risk of removing the contact layer that shorts the key when pressed. If old decal is not lose then new decal can be placed over the top.
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.
Offer decal up to see how to fit it, Top edge first is recommended. Peel the decal backing away only once you are happy that the surface is primmed.
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.
