Golden Gate
I don't see many mentions here, or on the net, about this watch. I just acquired it, would guess 68/69. Runs well, probably needs a service. The anchor moves freely, the day date is in spanish, but that is just flavor. I would love to learn more details about the golden gate, design history, designer, any anecdotes. Love the uniqueness of the watch and it will be getting a lot of wrist time. would love to hear opinions and see other examples.
Are price checks allowed?
Not selling anything here, but don't know what I have, just recently bought this off the used market. Thanks and if it breaks the rules, please delete it and sorry. Rado Natale N.F. swiss automatic, does anyone know anything about it? First time seeing this model
Three Rado; three logos
Hi there. I found 3 watch that says “Rado” on it after cleaning house. I don’t understand why they have three different logos. Also they all have different case back (one of which has Chinese on it)
Are they worth getting a second professional look or they are pretty much Chinese special? Thanks in advance
Rado Golden Horse without the anchor logo. Authentic or refinished dial?
Hey everyone,
Watch enthusiast here.
I recently visited a flea market in Shanghai and came across this Rado Golden Horse. I picked it up for around $40.
When I got back to Spain (where I live), I took it to a local watchmaker. He opened it up and told me that the movement looks correct and the internal parts appear to be authentic, which was reassuring.
However, something has been bothering me. I’ve been looking online, and every Rado Golden Horse I’ve found seems to have the rotating anchor logo on the dial. Mine has the “Golden Horse” text, but it’s missing the anchor entirely.
I’m wondering if this could be:
● A regional variant made for the Asian market (Japan, China, etc.),
● A service or replacement dial
● A refinished/redialed dial
● Or something else entirely
Has anyone seen a Golden Horse like this before or knows whether Rado ever produced dials without the anchor? Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
