Can someone tell me about Rado?? They seem to be a look alike to a Doxa and from what I see their diver is very nice looking. If you have them show them or tell me about them. There is a Rado dealer in my area so I can finally visit a AD......TIA

Rado has a very distinguished history of innovation and quality. Many of us cherish our DiaStars and Captain Cooks. I have a 30 year old DiaStar that still looks new because of the Tungston Carbide finish and still keeps great time. They are now a part of the Swatch Group I believe.

I got very intrigued with the Rados after seeing them here. I recall Oscar, Edgel, Eric and JP having them. JP hasn't been flashing his too often but they do still show up. I grabbed a vintage Captain Cook as that to me is one of the truly iconic watches of my lifetime. I thik its a very cool vintage and I don't do vintage naturally. Oscar just recently had his redone and I would love to see it! I checked the current line up out at an AD last spring and came away a bet less interested. The watches were smaller than I like and felt a bit light. I expected more heft. They were however very blingy with the mongo high polish anti scratch wunder material construction. I needed a deeper discount from the $1350 list than the AD was willing to give up. I looked at both the Orignal Diver and Diastar. The Diastar was less of a chunk of change but it was a bit smaller I think. I do remember the Diastar having nicer caseback work than the Diver. I love the look of the Diver in green and would love to steal one used. I don't see them too often during trolling... Go check 'em out... it'll be fun. Here's El Capitan.  and on the chicken skin strap it came on... Long live CAPTAIN CHICKEN STRAP  Last edited on Fri Dec 22nd, 2006 05:20 pm by Paxman |
