FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A SLICK MID 60s RADO MONOREX PRESIDENT WITH KILLER ENGINE TURNED BEZEL AND GROOVED DIAL. JUST BACK FROM A SERVICE
-
CASE: GORGEOUS ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A NICE 34.5mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 41mm LUG TO LUG. IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT ENGINE TURNED BEZEL ON THIS GUY. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT WEARING PIECE VERY REMINISCENT OF THE ROLEX 1003 CASE.
-
DIAL: WHOA NOW! WHAT A DAZZLER. CHECK OUT THAT SUBLIME BLACK DIAL THAT HAS THE SUBTLE CONCENTRIC GROOVE PATTERNING ETCHED INTO IT GIVING THIS A REAL TOPOGRAPHIC FEEL. THERE IS SOME HINTS OF PATINA AND TROPICALIZATION IN THAT LACQUERED FINISH WHICH GIVES THIS ONE A COOL VINTAGE VIBE. REALLY GORGEOUS APPLIED STEEL MARKERS POP AGAINST THAT DARK DIAL. I LOVE THOSE SHARP DAUPHINE HANDS WHICH GIVE THIS ONE AN ULTRA CLASSY VIBE. THAT RED DATE WHEEL VIEWED UNDER THE RADO SIGNED CRYSTAL IS A SUPER COOL LOOK.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS RADO IS POWERED BY A 21 JEWEL A.SCHILD HANDWOUND SWISS MOVEMENT. I JUST HAD THIS ONE SERVICED, AND IT'S RUNNING FANTASTICALLY.
THIS SUAVE KILLER COMES MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE VINTAGE OYSTER STYLE BRACELET WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT COULD'VE BEEN FACTOY MADE FOR THIS ONE....IT LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE. THE BRACELET IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR A 7.25" WRIST AND HAS 5 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS PLUS SOME LINKS THAT CAN BE REMOVED TO SIZE DOWN. THE MONOREX TAKES SOME OF ITS DESIGN CUES FROM CONTEMPORARY ROLEX MODELS OF THE TIME AND ADDS THAT FUN AND FUNKY RADO TWIST. THIS ONE IS A TOTAL SWEETHEART ON THE WRIST. A GREAT EVERYDAY PIECE.
