Look, things are bad enough without having to see things like that!!!

**s1wnw** · 25th March 2020, 18:28

I cannot imagine too many people will be bidding against you....

**Wazza** · 25th March 2020, 18:45

Wow, it looks like a post modern gold toilet seat

**ozzyb123** · 25th March 2020, 18:49

Curves are all wrong on that!

If that was on Antiques Roadshow they would call it Early Grotesque.

Each to his own though (luckily)

Well, certainly a talking point. I wonder if the anchor swings freely (as on current models)?

**alfat33** · 25th March 2020, 20:28

I like that, enough to start googling (but not bidding, don’t worry :)). Looks like the anchor does move. NCC = New Case Concept.

I look forward to some pics.

I feel the same about the Hamilton Ventura. Never met anyone that likes it

I have 2 of them they are my most commented watches. Oh and 3 corum bubbles, I can see a theme here.

Strangely mesmerising!

**Dougal** · 26th March 2020, 00:22

Weren't these going for a fiver on TK Maxx?

**oldoakknives** · 26th March 2020, 00:39

Is it the Rado 'Edsel' model?

**uktotty** · 26th March 2020, 13:41

If you guys thought that was bad, this was on the same site

**Happyal** · 26th March 2020, 13:49

Don't like the Rado, but don't mind the Rolex.

My thing with these over the top watches is that if you are going to be over the top, then go all the way.

**Wallasey Runner** · 26th March 2020, 13:52

I like that Rolex.

I'll get my coat

I think that style of watch will now forever be known as the "Toilet seat" You may have started a whole new watch term there. Chronograph.....day date......time only......toilet seat......lol

Definitely going with this from now on. Thr Rado Bog Seat

I hope the OP doesn’t mind but here are some examples of the rest of the range, starting with the NCC101

Hey I don't mind at all, I like them, true 70s style. The Diastsr however is current and still an acquired taste.

You won’t have to worry about it being a fake

**Templogin** · 28th March 2020, 19:20

Is it the next logical step after TT?

**Steelgecko** · 28th March 2020, 19:23

Be honest you ran it through a "funfair house of mirrors" type of app first, right? Please?

IIRC it was a feature at Blenheim Palace; it became a news item when it was stolen. The thief was not apprehended as the local Police said that (all together now) they didn't have anything to go on.

Am I the only one who thinks those other Rados make the one in the first post look good?
