For sale is a Swiss Made Rado Diastar ceramic watch, with what we believe to be reference number 160.0282.3 (the writing on the back has faded due to wear, so the exact reference number cannot be distinguished anymore). The watch features a distinctive case measuring 24 by 28mm, with sapphire crystal covering the entire face of the watch. It is finished in deep black with gold lining around the bezel and dial. Said dial comes in a black vertically brushed finish with gold tone indices and baton style hands, as well as a date window at 6 O'clock. The original bracelet consists of a combination of gold plated bridges and black ceramic links, the latter being Rado's signature material. Inside the case we find a high-quality Swiss Made ETA quartz movement with caliber number 256.041, complete with Rado engraving.
The example sold here has been worn, but is still in good condition. You will find some wear marks on the case and bracelet, but nothing too coarse. The biggest sign of wear can be found on the clasp, where the Rado logo has faded a bit. There are a few faint scratches on the sapphire crystal towards the 2 O'clock position as well, but they're not that noticeable when wearing the watch. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been checked, received a new battery, and is keeping perfect time.
Please do note that the bracelet is currently sized to fit wrists with a maximum circumference of around 18cm. Decreasing the size is fairly easily done by removing some links, but to increasing the size you will need to buy spare bracelet links online or at a Rado dealership.
The watch comes without any paperwork or original box, but evidently we will provide a generic box to ship it to the buyer safe and sound. The item ships from Belgium and will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost).
