Rado Captain Cook

Recommended Posts

Ive fancied one of these for a while so when a pre-owned one came up, at a bargain price, I pulled the trigger.

I live in the same area as where Captain Cook was born and raised so it has a local significance for me. I wasnt aware that the small anchor symbol at 12;00 is "floating" so will spin and hang in the wrist position. 

It wears a bit smaller than i was expecting but its in my watch box to stay.

Nice watch for a smoggie ;-)

The spinning anchor was used as an indicator to show when the watch was due a service as it would stop spinning when in need of a good clean and lube.

Rado are fantastic watches, I've had a couple and you can hit lucky with pre owned prices. What's the case size on this one?
