    Rado Captain Cook reissue

    Nice article on Hodinkee. Lovely vintage style and also a big brother version of the 37mm is to diminutive for the larger wristed

    I like. Rado is a brand I normally just whizz by when browsing, but I will have to look out for this.

    I really like the look of this. Nice to see a classic design from them as I also am usually not tok interested. Although kind of a pity they didn't use any of their trademark innovative materials on it for scratch resistance. Probably wouldn't suit the period look....

    Like that it has the 80 hour power reserve while preserving a thin case.

    I think the 37mm is a lovely little thing, very tastefully done and priced perfectly too. First RADO I've drooled over.

    I love everything about this, the size especially at 37mm. is just right for me.

    I quite like it and the price is not outrageous like so many lately.

    I like it a lot, really nice update.
    The way read it, the "true " size one is the LE, and the new one to be part of the main range is a 45mm titanium behemoth?
    One extreme to the other - what about a nice one in between?

    Not bad at all, very nice. The Captain Cook link *of the original* is a bit daft.

    If these get Rado's typical deep discounts in Ernest Jones / Beaverbrooks sales, could be worth a look.

    This plus Rado get discounted regularly so it might be a new purchase at the right time or a regular on SC. Wouldn't dream of paying anything nr rrp for one

    Not a Rado fan but they have done a decent job with this.

    Some other brands should take notice of re-issues with regards to size.

    That is a beauty. Might be the first Rado I would consider owning.

    Looks very nice to me. I'd be interested to see the swivelling anchor too. It's described as a "trademark feature" but I've probably never looked at a Rado long enough before to notice.

    That's one to look out for in due course. Really cool.
