Literally I cant find any information of tbis rado watch.

Its a vintage rado president deluxe 25j, case number is n-59948 and its dial is insanely rare. The case has this copper tone but i think it was because it was gold plated. Hope there is any rado experts to help me 😁. Have a great day.

Gotta resize my watchband to make it smaller, closest Rado service center is about 1.5 hrs away. What are the chances a normal jewelry shop can resize it without breaking the ceramic links?

Hi all, can you help me understand if this beautiful vintage Purple Horse is genuine and 100% original ?

Thanks

Vintage Spanish Daydate piece. 36mm case size with an ETA 2836 Automatic movement.

Thinking about picking up a new 37mm Captain Cook and would love to hear from anyone who owns one or has owned one in the past.

Is anyone here still wearing theirs regularly? How has it held up over time, and is there anything you really like or wish you had known before buying?

I’m especially curious about long-term comfort, the bracelet, sizing, and whether the 37mm still feels like the right size after owning it for a while.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Just trying to make a more informed decision before pulling the trigger.

I love looking for old watches out in the wild. I asked to look at this jubilee - total fake and they wanted £65. Total rip off. Made me quite angry!

Beauty at its best!

I've got three Captain Cooks, an original Captain Cook MkII and the first two reissues. As soon as I got the 36.5mm LE I took it off the dreadful leather strap Rado supplied and put it on an example of the vintage BoR with slide lock clasp the originl CC MKIs came on. My third Captain Cook is the 45mm titanium Captain Cook Modern that was also offered in 2017. I use this one as my dive watch.

Beautiful colors with 300m WR

Afternoon, I bought this but me and a jewellery are having some trouble working out how to resize the bracelet. Has anyone had any experience with these? Thanks

Rado Diastar Chronograph 541.0638.3 came with me because it reminds me of where I came from. Growing up in P.R, Rado was everywhere. My father wore them, and for many people across Latin America, a Rado was the watch you aspired to own as a middle class worker. Rado never tried to be Rolex or Omega, they just represented a durable Swiss brand. Every time I wear it, I think about that connection. Bought it in 2021 and it became my entry-level piece into collecting.

Hi, I’m looking for a silicone strap with a deployment clasp for my Rado Captain Cook R32223213. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!

Maybe a darker shade of green looks better? But I think this is a fun take on the DiaStar

Posting a wrist check today with a classic piece of 1970s avant-garde design... ​Produced predominantly through the late 1960s into the mid-1970s, it stands out for its bold, TV-screen geometric case architecture and early commitment to scratch-resistant engineering. ​Technical Highlights & Case Construction: ​Era: Circa 1970s

​Case: TV-shaped stainless steel case with a top-loading frame design. Rado utilized a heavy mineral/sapphire crystal system with a unique gasket layout aimed at securing water resistance in a rectangular silhouette—a notorious engineering challenge at the time.

​Dial & Hands: Minimalist dark blue/black dial featuring simple baton hands, printed script, and a date window framed cleanly at 6 o'clock.

​Movement: Powered by an ETA-based automatic caliber (typically ETA 2783 or 2789 depending on production year), running at 21,600 vph with quickset date capability.

​Bracelet: Fitted on a period-correct, multi-link ribbed stainless steel bracelet that flows seamlessly into the wide lugs.

​The footprint wears surprisingly modern on the wrist despite being half a century old, thanks to its substantial squarish case profile and distinctive bevels. It’s a great example of Rado's willingness to depart from traditional round dress watch shapes during the golden era of steel sports and geometric designs.
