    Two very different divers

    Interesting takes on a theme, both landed with me in the last few days.

    Was wondering who snaffled that Rado, great looking watch. How are you getting on with it size wise?

    The Rado makes the Tuna look so small

    Gotta be honest the Rado is an incredibly technical bit of kit. Hardened titanium case and bracelet, ceramic bezel and polished ceramic centre links which are almost unscratchable.
    Lume is blue and very bright, 80 hour movt running at +2 . Wears fairly big but not too silly , I have just under 8" wrist though.

    Tuna is just a solid tool watch that wears a fair bit smaller than the 48mm case would suggest, for me this ninja tuna is probably the best looking of the tunas, especially on the leather I think !!

    Saw the Rado when it was listed and liked it straight away, not a watch I was familiar with so did a fair bit of reading up on it. It really is a very impressive watch, should've jumped on it when I had the chance

    I'll give you a nudge if I sell , you're only up the road from me as well.

    Nice combination of dress-y (if that's something you can call a dive watch?) and rugged. I imagine the Rado is a lot thinner than the Tuna?

    Pretty much the same, Rado is quite a thing.

    The Rado is a diver-styled watch.

    I don’t mind biggish watches but the Rado just seemed too big to me for what it was and I opted for 42mm. Still a nice watch.

    Certainly, I just thought it looks more intentionally retro and "ornamental" (for lack of a better word) than the Tuna, which looks like something you'd wear if you were working on an oil rig in the North Sea.

    Tuna looks great on the leather. Will have to try that on my 033 polished version.
