Rado's Captain Cook, Special Edition Model

[@OswaldoLafee]

I have this exact watch with this bracelet. I changed the original rice beads it came with. It is incredible how much elegant and better this watch looks with this bracelet. I was about to sell it and now it gets a lot of wrist time and gets lots of love from watch enthusiasts. It’s also very thin for a “diver”. can be worn with moderate elegance as well. Also I have the blue one which, I have to say, it’s my preferred. This green is beautiful, but the blue captain cook on this bracelet is simply astonishing, IMHO. Can be found at a price point that I have found no competition (this get’s Tudor and Omega level of compliments) at 50% less money and a great durable IH movement…

I enjoyed reviewing this one as I liked the watch very much Sir its great watch with an interesting dial

Would you say that the block bracelet fits your wrist better than the beads of rice ? If so, then I'd have to get the Hrithik Roshan edition

[@martinharrison4245]

The anchor logo on the dial used to be a service indicator on older models, to show that the watch was lubricated. If it didn't rotate then it was probably time for a service. I think they kept this feature for just the look now. I have this watch , but I prefer the beads of rice bracelet, to this one. Rado are great watches and hold up to everyday wear well.

Cheers for the info Martin , I always use the time keeping to see if it needs a service , I've not tried the beads of rice bracelet yet so cant say myself

@@ClickSpringReview rado sell them , and I think the BOR is the nicest bracelet for this watch. They are quite reasonably priced too.

@@martinharrison4245 I’m just of to Germany to visit friends and family but most importantly Sinn HQ as I’m going to drop a watch of for a service and pick up a new bracelet but this is a fine link model for one of my Sinn’s

One thing I dislike about many modern watches with rotating bezels is the bezel width. Just like you've shown the original model it should be a little narrower. Many brands have made them too thick, only recently Breitling made the 1953 chrono reissue that is actually ok. Besides, the Cpt. Cook is a quite unique watch in the sea (literal) of submariner and fifty fathoms copies.

Is there the same watch in 37mm with the same bracelet in the video??!

[@ClickSpringReview]

I believe so I may get one in for review but not for a few months

I like these, they've grown on me. You also answered the one question I always wonder - would the reviewer personality buy one? I had a Tudor Black Bay 58 and sold it because I was disappointed with the quality, it objectively fell short in a number of areas when compared with a cheaper Longines, including movement performance and quality of the dial and hands. I'd rather pay less, get more and make do without the hype - the Swatch Group companies offer exceptional value.

I really do fancy one Antony , I may even see if I can get another in for review say the ceramic model next time , The steel model for the price I think is a great buy and something I'm going to look into for myself

[@stephengarratt8027]

Always admired this watch, but, very stiff competition at this price point particularly from Tudor, longines and Sinn.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I agree with Longines and Sinn but Tudor model cost another £800+ before they get interesting

Get a good used one for about 1k now, a steal at that price.

That name - he’s an Indian actor who’s been an ambassador for the brand there for years. Rado’s brand cachet in that market exceeds its usual reputation. I don’t mind their watches at all, but packaging an SE after an actor is kinda cringe. But I suppose we’re not here to critique marketing strategies. ~~goodvibesonly~~~

I did look him up and I know what you mean about cringeworthy I feel the same way about the Omega 007 watches PS welcome to the channel
