Dont know if you know but I have reduced a lot of my collection down to a few...various reasons but kept my favourites. Anyway I am in a position to start collecting again and here you have it...Rado Diastar. Arrived today.
Sorry about the pics but its too dark by time I get home from work so all done in poor light.

Oh and I never knew that the blade in the red circle just above the 6 freely spins also...you may see it in different positions in the photos.

Great watch man...It may sound odd but the diver version of that is my favorite diver. I checked out the red dialed model of the one you have the last time I was in Shanghai, and it felt superb, big enough, solid, and not too chunky, just right. How is the lume on it?

It is good but massively impressive, the red areas glow as a pinky glow. I tried taking a pic but I could not get a good enough shot to show you.

Thanks everyone, I really like my Rado it sits well and is good for every day wear.

The lume is not great its just ok, its sweeping great at a familiar 28.800vph and keeps catching my eye on and off all day at work.

Due to the new filtering at work I cannot see anyones pictures anymore so have had to limit my posts to when I am at my home pc.

Sorry I missed this one, Neo. One of my favorites and I regret not jumping on a used diver model last year. The Diastar styling speaks to me. Enjoy it!

 

Stupid filtering. You're in IT... make a work around!toon1.gif

if they are not downloading movies they are spending all thier time watching youtube or ...and this is true...I was called to the helpdesk because a computer had stopped working so I checked it over and found the issue....it seems that someone thought it a good idea to store bulldog clips inside the machine resting on the motherboard...it shorted out..grrr....so after all that I tightened up security.
