    James May's watch

    Anyone recognise this odd thing from this Friday's Top Gear?

    Yup, it's a Rado



    He wore an all black rectangular Ceramica on the odd occasion on the old Top Gear, pretty sure I've seen him wear one of the older faceted crystal Rados as well.

    I'm not a fan either. I don't like oval cases on watch.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of that at all. I have also seen him wear a similar styled vintage Omega Geneve Dynamic though which is very nice indeed.

    I expected something better from Capt. Slow... something vintage... classier.

    I don't think it's that model cardshark, there appear to be numerals on the one May is wearing.

    Possibly this one, but on the NSA band:

    Indeed, your suggestion looks more like it.

    I don't think he is. Seems to be a bit of a watch fan. Usually wears a white milgauss.

    Yeah I usually see him in the milgauss - was a bit shocked when this hideous beast turned up haha. The glare from that bezel was almost blinding me through my TV. Cheers for the answers!

    They all are to be fair I think, JC tends to wear Omega from what I have seen, the wee one has a variety.

    He must like his Rados, I am sure I have seen him wear a Ceramica a couple of years ago
