An Awesome Bronze Diver - Rado Captain Cook Bronze Review

[@jollyrob]

My favorite bronze watch by far - love it.

[@dg91xj]

This looks absolutely stunning. I am a big fan of the bronze look. Never had a Rado watch before. My last big purchase was a longines Hydroquest. I love how you break it down. This is definitely on my list now

[@treehugger3615]

Teddy you got one of the best, if not the best quality videos in regards to showcasing the watches and zooming in for the details.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Thank you very much! Hope it helps when making decisions on what to buy. Appreciate you watching!

[@randomusername6565]

I love the Captain Cook so much. Such a pretty looking watch.

[@andreaiacolina]

I am not a huge fan of bronze watches, but I have to admit that the Captain Cook looks pretty cool in bronze.

[@gregalonzo747]

If I decide to buy the Captain Cook, I would go with the stainless steel model. My uncle was a big fan of Rado. My Pop was really into Mido. Myself, I like Squale. I am sure that Rado is a step up from Squale, what are your thoughts?

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

I personally would go stainless steel as well. I think the Captain Cook is a nice level up but also is a very different watch Squale so I don't think it is an easy comparison even though they are both divers. I did own 1521 from Squale and for the money I can't say it was a bad piece just not for me. I would put it in two camps, if you want a more style-forward diver with solid specs, ceramic bezel, longer power reserve I would go Rado. For squale I think it is more of a watch for that "diver fanatic" type of piece that is going to speak to the Doxa style crowd or in other words, pieces that have a more playful/retro aesthetic.

[@gregalonzo747]

@@TeddyBaldassarreReviews, thanks. Have a look at the SqualeMatic, you might like this model. Then again, they are larger., and if memory serves, your preference is for watches a tad smaller. I do agree about Doxa. I am also one of those guys))) 😉

[@pizza.doctor]

i'd go for the SS green one too personally, however I dislike the fact that the indexes are not applied on that one. it looks a bit cheaper with just some paint thrown in there - the dial is so nice and glossy and a glossy frame would go nicely to delineate the luminous paint from it

[@jdsk8914]

​@@pizza.doctor yeah and the bronze model does have the applied indices

[@solimansalem7719]

Hey Teddy, I was one of the original subscribers on your other channel, but its grown by exponential amounts (congratulations!) So much so I doubt you’d see any of my comments. I want to ask, can you make a video specific ONLY to BAUHAUS watches, like a below 1k video. All I have right now are Seikos, but I love the simplicity of the Bauhaus look. Thanks!

[@sanserof7]

This watch looks absolutely stunning to me

[@AB-sk7gq]

Have this watch for a year now and by far is one of favorite.

[@Alimtiaz3268]

How is ur watch after three years and how did it patina over the period?

[@scottlauren3145]

What is the deciding factor or if a review is on here or your main channel? I feel a lot of people don't know this channel exists. I do though, so I win. Your reviews are on another level.

[@henrycollins2478]

Saw this was posted and stopped watching an aryton senna breakdown of his final race. Insanely cool watch.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Thanks for tuning in as always Henry!

[@tantu2395]

Captain Cook is looks very different from others, I remember once I saw a gentleman in brown suit at wedding events, when he checked the time makes so many people turn heads...

[@robertsullivan4773]

Funny I commented this watch on your review of the Golden Horse Teddy. Did I give you the idea for this vid/review.🤗🤗🤗🤗. Any chance you can find a rubber strap for this beauty. The leather strap on even a desk diver bothered me. But I bought it anyway. It's a great watch at a great price point.

[@marktuyet]

If you want to keep it polished without it tarnishing , just polish it occasionally with simichrome by hand . You can find it on eBay .

[@kamael1125]

A beauty. But 21mm lug width? What the F

[@williamhill7312]

Great video

[@infochaser]

Nice review. Thanks Teddy.

[@bani_niba]

Are applied indices only on the bronze versions? I have only seen painted indices on the SS models.

[@marktuyet]

Nice watch ! Nice review !

[@rickyhou7684]

Love the watch! Any chance you will have it at 37mm? Also I would also like your opinion on which Nomos to get. I know you own an Orion but I’m debating on either a Tangente and an Orion. Which one would you pick? I’m also leaning a bit more to the Orion but it’s a hard choice. Both are great watches 😂. Thanks Teddy

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

We have the 37 mm captain cook on the site. For NOMOS, both are great watches! I own an Orion just because I liked the simple look of the applied indices more.

[@zion6047]

Hi Teddy Can you review Rado Diastar Skeleton also

[@CaptShane-sy7lr]

Great watch, but at 3k you’re entering Tudor BB58 territory.

[@robertsullivan4773]

No your not.

[@CaptShane-sy7lr]

@@robertsullivan4773 Yes you are. BB58 is $3375

[@robertsullivan4773]

@@CaptShane-sy7lr try getting one I'm almost positive you can get 10/15% off on the Rado..

[@theaussiewhinger]

Big difference in Australia... Tudor BB58: $5000 Rado CC 42: $3200

[@tiagopereira5260]

for that price point, i expect at least a date wheel matching the dial... am i asking too much? not to mention the "common" lug width :p

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

I don't mind the date window at all. It is a silver more than white. For the lug width always prefer even whenever possible for third party options.

[@mjinzarli]

It's actually more expensive in this case to have a silver brushed date wheel rather than having a printed brown date wheel....

[@zillsburyy1]

hey Teddy, how many turns of the crown to fully wind up the 80 hour power reserve?

[@newacc1234]

35-40

[@robitobi9740]

I’ve got “him” but in green :-)

[@robertsullivan4773]

Me too.

Very nice! 😃

[@bhargavamadugu3808]

Caption cook bronze vs Raymond Weil bronze freelancer?? Please give your suggestions

[@maxittome]

Beautiful watch.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

I wonder whether those hands and hour markers will pantina or tarnish over time? It would be a shame if they did as they look cool.

[@jaspritduggal6577]

how to remove dullness and make it shine back again ? Pls help

[@Adam-ui3ot]

Make sure the crown is screwed down, mix 2table spoons of bi carb and some lemon juice. Submerge. Leave it for a while and give it a gentle clean with a tooth brush. Rinse.

[@craigdlazarus]

Love the watch but s/s version for me - thx Teddy - keep 'em coming.....

[@davidinghram2494]

I like it!

[@hovvy786]

Apparently the bronze will age as you wear it.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Lol

[@mollari2261]

42mm is only OK for a desk diver on a skinny wrist.

[@Trail_sniffer75]

Bronze and saltwater don't get on well not for me I'm afraid

[@franciscosc8774]

I heard that the Bronze of this watch will actually not patina, as it's technically not bronze, but the cooper is mixed with aluminum. You don't mention it in the review, and I can't find where I read that anymore, but it was in a big site when this was released. Could you ask/confirm/deny this?

[@robertsullivan4773]

It's a Bronze watch and it gets a Patina I have it and it started to change in a few months,

[@alextomlinson1725]

Looks enormous at 42mm although I suspect the 37mm would be too small. Would be perfect at 40mm. Nevertheless a fine piece. 21mm - why?

[@judge4all]

Great watch, but is too big!

[@GabrielJansenA]

The hands look like they come from two different watches

[@hamzamehboob9014]

Please review a bremont solo 37 watch Tell me your thoughts on it

[@christophergan71]

It's a shame that a watch with this price doesn't come with lume. Might as well be a 30m water resistant dress watch.

[@mollari2261]

Do you really think this is anything more than a dress watch with a bezel?
