Rado makes a nice watch but as far as the older ones going up in value I highly doubt...unless you consider a few bucks here and there going up....I own at least a dozen from the 60's to present time and my Diastar Jubile' "Original Scuba" pictured below is the only one that I consider rare and going up in value due to it was only available in the middle east and the only one I have ever seen...the one pictured below was purchased in Saudi Arabia by JohnnyP and it took me 3 years to get it off his wrist :D...it has the inner rotating locking bezel  w/diamonds and a very rare hologram dial that changes colors in the light and gives off an appearance of being textured...which it is nothand6.gif

    The other was recently purchased for under $100. on the Bay which is loaded with vintage Rados and has the 2 green horses w/day-date and near mint opposed to the single green horse and has once again a rare yellow dial...will it go up in price...maybe but once again very little $ imho...I also have the Voyager with diamond dial and a fully restored Capt. Cook which was the pre Diastar that we all know today...they are fun to research and collect...watch2.gif
