A Great Looking Blue Dial Diver For Smaller Wrists - Rado Captain Cook Blue 37mm

[@HRM.H]

Love the look of this Rado. Absolutely stunning , very much vintage styled without being tacky. The clasp and bracelet look very nice.

[@coertwelman5840]

I saw this watch a while back and was instantly smitten. The blue doesn't quite translate to photo or video. It is almost an indigo blue. Utterly gorgeous and the size is perfect. Thanks for the video.

[@milehiaviation]

I love what Rado does with their logo on the dial. So unique compared to most other brands.

[@erikrosli]

Thanks teddy, i just recently bought this blue rado cc 42mm for my 40th bday. Had a hard time choosing what i wanted to buy with my budget and your video inspired me for this purchase. I just love the overall design and vintage looks . Keep up the good work!

[@craig2100]

Love both the blue and the green... Great feeling bracelet and classic looks.

[@Damonst3r68]

Got this one in 40mm Green, it's really a stunning piece

[@chukulan]

I don't know, I'd expect a 2k watch to have moved beyond pin links. Especially with its lack of a micro adjust, I would think the ease of adding/removing links would have been better considered.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Beauty of a watch! Always have enjoyed the captain cook, this case size would be perfect for me.

[@AlexMi77]

Rado & Mido the most underrated at the moment in my view.

[@salvatoredelia6238]

While I agree with you on those two, I would also include Certina, they have a 38mm DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 for less than half the price of the Cap. Cook, which by the way, IS a beautiful piece.

[@AlexMi77]

@@salvatoredelia6238 agree, also a nice watch

[@smashexentertainment676]

Which RADO watch you like outside of Captain Cook line? Coz I think all other RADO designs are just terrible.

[@WristWatching]

Beautiful timepiece! It's unique, while managing to look both vintage and modern at the same time. I really need to pick this one up to experience it one day. Great review!

[@mitchmatic8029]

Love this watch. I recently purchased in 42mm Hrithik Roshan Special Edition green dial. It comes with Oyster SS, face color matched leather and Nato bracelet and straps. Beads of rice is extra purchase. Couple of other interesting features; 300m WR on some models now, like mine. The oyster bracelet has pretty cool wrist extension for getting over wrist, as do the leather straps in the deployment clasp.The clasp in the oyster is titanium VS ss on the beads of rice. I think this was first strap paired with bronze case w/hypoallergenic ss caseback and titanium in clasp. Guess they just kept it. I find I am favoring the oyster over the beads of rice, which is a surprise to me. Maybe because watch wears a little bigger on oyster? All in all, great heritage piece, that reminds me of my Yema Marine National, Wise Adamascus, as well as, Longines Heritage diver and Omega Seamaster ‘57 re-issue.

[@mahfah7911]

Always a Like for Rado. Don’t see this often in US. Love Rado superb shiny look and fit. Diastar still is very eye catching. This featured model is also very attractive and I am planning to get one now since this channel has started to feature this brand. Big Like and thanks

[@mikesurratt1922]

That's a good looking watch....in 39-40 mm it would be a stunner...

[@jasonyang6630]

"back play" on a uni-directional bezel is not what people think it is. It's a natural feature of how a ratcheting system works on anything. Calling it out as such is suggesting that somehow it is able to travel the other way. But this isn't the case. In the bezel, a click spring sits against a ratcheted interior that runs along the entire bezel. As the click spring sits at the corner between two ratcheting teeth, locking it in place and permitting it to only rotate on one direction because the angle in one direction is shallow, while in the other it is near vertical. When the bezel is rotated, the click spring runs along the shallow edge of the tooth until it gets to the end, in which case, it falls into the corner where the next tooth begins. Causing a click to register. Until that click registers, the spring hasn't fallen to the next tooth, and can always be reset back to the same corner in the original position. If you turn the bezel and it clicks, it is likely that you stopped a moment AFTER hearing the click, and so the spring rests not exactly on the corner between the teeth but some travel distance away. "back play" is simply the allowable travel for the spring to rest in the locked position from where it had falled The bezel isn't broken, it's working as intended. This idea of back play, and its criticism, ignores how bezels (most) work. And I would wish youtubers would stop conflating the movement a bezel has between its locking positions and actually non-functioning bezels as somehow being the same.

Just FYI. Captain Cook was a British captain that is credited to discovering Australia east coast and set up a permanent colony

[@akinigiri]

Beautiful watch. Thanks for the review. Btw Teddy! I have a similar wrist size to the cameraman (?) at 19.5 so I would have appreciated to see how it would look on a bigger wrist like mine. I don't shy away from smaller sizes. So next time, please include this even for smaller watches!

[@أحمدالشمس-ق9ج]

These watches wear smaller than what you might think I have smaller wrist like teddy's but when I tried them on, 42 mm was what I liked best , for me it wore like a 40.

[@HaonProductions]

Have they added microadjust to this yet? If they did I'd take it over the Black Bay 54, love the beads of rice and the color.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Although I cannot justify another diver watch this is a great looking piece. I think Rado as a brand should have a tad more recognition as they produce some stunning pieces from different materials. I love that little anchor that moves depending on the orientation of the watch. OK it adds zero horological functionality but is a really nice touch. From my experience they are well made reliable time pieces that have their own identity as far as the Captain Cook among others are concerned. A great review Teddy.

[@vipinsuriya007]

You would be surprised to know that RADO Is 💯 most recognised brand in whole india . People are crazy about any rado and they sell rado at almost 10% more expensive than other countries with least discounts among any Swiss brand sold in the country. What Rolex is for Americans , rado is for Indians . 😁

[@anthonystevens8683]

@@vipinsuriya007 I must admit I'm very impressed with RADO. I was guilty of not having the brand on my radar until last year. I was in the AD to look at another watch and I was shown the Truesquare in black ceramic skeleton with gold accents, the purchase was made. It's very accurate, well made and wonderful to look at. RADO is well and truly on my radar now. Needless to say I didn't get the watch that I was considering at the AD. They are certainly on the up in my humble opinion.

[@vipinsuriya007]

@@anthonystevens8683 true square skeleton is my favourite rado collection. What a great watch to have . If I could own just one rado I would be torn between this and red dial steel captain cook ( search ref no. On KZbin ) . The only problem with rado is it makes a lots of watches and collection. Hence doesn’t give them an identity and are also little pricier than should be. Still a great reliable brand with great brand recognition in Asia atleast . I hope I will be able to buy one soon . :)

[@anthonystevens8683]

@@vipinsuriya007 The Red dial R32105353 is certainly a wonderful piece. A beautiful dial that is not over crowded with text but keeps the signature anchor and works so well. 300m water resistance and a 42mm diameter is almost perfect. I do not envy you having to make the choice between this and the True square. If you want more of an every day watch I think the Captain Cook might just edge as it is probably more versatile but that True square ceramic will not scratch and may get noticed more as it's different from other watches.

[@vipinsuriya007]

@@anthonystevens8683 I am planning to buy me a dive watch this year . Torned between a captain cook or an oris aquis . But recently saw tissot seastar 2000 aqua dial and can’t justify paying x2 for oris and rado . I have 4 tissot already in my family and certainly can’t seem to be amazed every time with the value it provides . But i would love to buy a higher tier product this time . So idk I am confused .

[@N3VURMYND]

I have the Green 42mm version. I regret not getting the 37mm instead. 😢

[@fatihhelva3969]

Hi, What is your wrist size? 37mm & 42mm I still can't decide which one to get. My wrist measurement is 17cm. which one should i choose?

[@N3VURMYND]

@@fatihhelva3969 My wrist is just over 7 inches and even then, the 42mm seems just a bit too bulky when compared to my friend's 37mm (which I think is just perfect). I think it all comes down to the bezel as it appears to be wider than the overall watch casing. I would suggest that you try on the 37. I'm sure you'll find it to be just right on your wrist but of course, it comes down to your own personal preference.

[@fatihhelva3969]

Unfortunately I don't have a chance to try 37mm. I have to choose. It might look more striking on the 42mm wrist. If your wrist was 17 cm, which would you choose?

[@fatihhelva3969]

My wrist measurement is 6.8 inches

[@bamayer7]

Teddy, what watches 2500 and below should be considered with captain cook? Diver of course. Thanks!

[@fatihhelva3969]

Hi Teddy, my wrist is 17 cm. 37mm vs 42mm I can't decide which one to choose. Which one should I choose?

[@Lhawga]

Teddy has 16cm wrist and has the 42mm one, but it's slightly on the edge, and he can not go any further than that, but with the extra 1cm, it should fit you just fine. I have 15 cm wrists and definitely buying the 37mm one

[@bulldogms]

Captain Cook 37mm vs. Certina 38 DS Diver? 1/2 the price, same movement.

[@bettersteps]

That Rado diver should have ISO Certification. That's the only thing missing from that watch. It's so nice looking.

[@bettersteps]

I stand corrected. That's a great looking watch. Who cares that it's not ICO Certified! I'm buying it. That is one sexy watch!

[@natusMCMII]

I'm somewhat irritated by the fact that this is a diver without a screw down crown and only 100 meters of water resistance...otherwise it's a beautiful watch

[@ashneel]

Will you go diving with it?

[@natusMCMII]

@@ashneel well, I don’t own this particular watch, so I’m the wrong person to ask, but if you want my opinion if I _would_ go diving with it, if I had one, I’d probably say no, at least to real diving…if you only talk about going swimming with it with the occasional dive of a maximum of 2-3m I wouldn’t worry too much, at least that’s how I handle my watches…

[@drkesrf]

100M is the ISO standard for dive watches

[@bombaybanda]

Does it have Anti-reflective coating?

I really like this watch but based on the fact the Longines diver is $500 cheaper, it wins every time.

[@Eric_Nielsen]

A lug2lug of 47mm would be more interesting. Would like to try this and the Longines Legend Diver 36 but I'm ready finding the BB58 to feel a little small.

[@robbertblok5612]

Like this one but, could do without the date and miss a screw down crown for safety.

[@007josiah]

Rado and the doxa are the only dive watches that look good to me. I just don't get the appeal to most of them.

What kind of sick company doesn't put microadjustment holes in the clasp? It's almost hard to believe. What could possibly be the reasoning for this???

No micro adjustments alow the clasp to be as thin as it is on this watch ,I personally like that it doesn’t have it imo

You bring-up an excellent point, Teddy, that may be a great topic for a future video; the notion of uni-sex watches. Perhaps you could do a video on the top four or five uni-sex watches out there. Thank you.

Again, it's a watch that just looks like a diver watch. A real diver is 42mm version with all the necessary features including 300m WR. People who say RM is ugly probably never seen RADO outside of Captain Cook line, IMHO. I like most of the most hated watches and try not to be judgemental, but RADO just doesn't leave me any choice.

[@denisdaly1708]

Great legibility, and dressy. That's unusual at that price

One comment, I think the watches dont look realistic in these vids. they are too filtered / edited with some type of effect that makes them look like a live action airbrushed item. Just my two cents.
