Rado watches if you see one with the anchor on the dial it a mechanical watch. The quality, and finish is there, my compadre Oscar could attest to that, ask him. Take advantage of the price before they become popular again. They are known for innovation even in the 60's they had sapphire crystal prior to Rolex. Below are ads from the mid 60s             Here is a link to the new line. http://www.rado.com/ORIGINAL/ Cheers:):):) Last edited on Sun Jun 4th, 2006 12:03 pm by Johnny P |

I am considering this watch very heavily. I believe Orolus is offerring a chronometr version just north of $500. Do you gents have a better source or more information? My one concern is the case size is 38mm which might seem a bit small. thanks for any info, Pax

The one Oscar has is a tad bigger, size is about 40x50 mm excluding crown. Here is a picture with the Doxas for size comparison.
