Rado Captain Looker - A Truly Beautiful Vintage Dive Watch

[@MADHIKER777]

It is a stunner, especially in that green! Love the sloped bezel.

I bought one last week, stunning with green face and bezel, enjoying it a lot!

I have one of these in the green, wears a bit smaller than a 42mm. Rado make great watches, I have an original diver from them , and it's built like a tank. The original diver is from the diastar range and features a tungsten carbide bezel. I've got the blue orange version, and they also did a gorgeous green one too. These are very hard to find now, but are so well made, in fact it's the best made watch I've ever seen. They just don't scratch up at all, and still look new after years of use. Even though the captain cook is shiny it doesn't pick up scratches either. I don't know how they achieve this, but put most manufacturers to shame. Great watches and very innovative with their use of materials. And their movements are spot on with accuracy. The only downside are , they tend to be a bit blingy, but for the money , they are amazing.

Lovely watch. I didn't realise that Rado make watches of that standard.

[@wristwatchdave422]

Yeah - I didn't either, but this is very special. Thanks for watching 👍

Nice…. Would like to see some bezel lume as well

[@wristwatchdave422]

yes, would be good

I'll have to contradict you with that anchor bit. It's purely decorative and not attached to the movement in any way. Even on their website they have a tidbit of info saying that the watch doesn't need a service if it stops moving as it's an independent decorative element. Besides there's nothing on the movement on the dial side that it could attach to. And nothing free spinning besides the winding rotor which is on the other side

[@wristwatchdave422]

Oh, thanks for the correction. I've read in numerous articles about this model that the anchor is attached to the movement. It must have been just in the original version but not this modern interpretation.👍
