    I think the Captain Cook range is a very attractive one, but I am a bit flummoxed that most of the range (if not all) has no lume whatsoever on the bezel. Very strange choice.

    I rather like these, but suspect the logo spinning around would make me cross.

    I think the captain cooks look lovely but the lack of a screw down crown feels wrong and puts me off.

    Looks nice but they are using an alloy that wont patina over time so if you're into that you'll be disappointed.
    Personally I prefer the look from the factory so is a plus for me.

    That's interesting. I like the look of raw bronze but not patinated. I wonder if there are other makes out there with this technology?

    Well, you're in luck, according to Hodinkee.

    Not very often I am taken by any of Rados offerings but that looks very nice. Especially in the green.

    Not the bronze model, but had a good look at the blue dial SS version in Chisholm Hunter last week - not a piece I had noticed before as I was never really drawn to Rado but I was sorely tempted - a well put together watch which needs to be seen in the flesh to appreciate the bezel which is a thing of beauty.

    I think one of these will feature in the collection at some point.

    It has a Titanium case back so you'll be fine, also I think it's the patinating bronze that causes skin to go green so again you should be fine
