This Rado Silver Star circa 1980 arrived today and it is absolutely flawless....not a mark to be found and I am a happy WIS! yahoo.gif... a couple Q&D's of the watch as the bracelet is about 2in too long for me and it is a difficult bracelet to size so I will probably be putting it on a nice drk green ostrich I have.It is 38mm Swiss Made ,saph crystal with diamond dial in a very rare lime green radiant dial...more pics to come hand6.gif

TY...I plan on keeping it on the bracelet but in the meantime while it is being sized I swapped to a nice 2 tone Rado bracelet Johnny gave me a couple years ago! thankyou.gif

this particular model was made for the middle eastern market and the days are in English and German and maybe why it is not seen that much Skip...the bay has plenty in Blue and White dials but the lime is unusual and looks sweet.....Nick it would be cool if it was the month but the outside numbers are the day of the week...3Wed.,4Thurs. etc.....the 2 tone bracelet does look good with this head Huck and it is powered by a very clean 17j eta 2879 ....the watch almost looks like it is NOS and is super clean...so far it has been running spot on! thankyou.gif
