Seeking WC help for trip down memory lane (similar but not this one)
I'm finally going to ask for help identifying a watch I remember from childhood (sentimental and looking to get it). I think it was a Casio or MAYBE Seiko from late 80s/early 90s. I remember it had a friction bezel, gilt dial and was black on rubber integral strap. I THINK the watch head had something like a thick bar at 12 and 6 (where I circled in red in the photo). Also, i remember the watch was similar to the one in the photo (AQ 100W), but much nicer and kinda refined (less sporty if you will), so it was definitely not that one.
Asking the community as a whole for help in identifying the watch, post pics with the reference if you have one or know the watch, share with others here, anything that may help me find the one. Sorry if my recollection is cloudy. Anything helps. TIA
Watch collector and enthusiast. Can truly say I cannot explain how I got the bug, just that it's been "in my DNA" for my whole life. Cheers and happy journey!
Google image search is a great tool for questions like this.

Hate to give them credit, but if Google image search doesn't cut it, chat GPT now will interpret images and the results are pretty impressive.

Best of luck on the hunt.
Was it analog digital like the aq-100? If so, it could be the ARW-300.
I don't think it was ani-digi. And the bezel was definitely coin edged, not sporty like these ones (AQ 100W or ARW300). Was very similar, just kinda more refined. Getting close. I am now looking on vintage eBay for Casio models that start with "A" 😅
