New watch: Rado Coupole Classic

[_rubinho_]

New purchase, well my fiance bought it for my 40th and as an engagement gift. Slim and light with a simple, stylish face. Would have preferred the leather band but was bought in Gibraltar so there was limited choice. Got a good chunk off UK RRP though so I cannot grumble!

I really like that a lot. A lot of Rado stuff really doesn’t do it for me at all but I think that looks very classy indeed, it’s nice and understated. Does the Rado logo swivel around?

Thanks

Yes the logo swivels! It also has a transparent caseback and a nicely polished Rado deployment. I love the blue on white and the almost imperceptible bezel. It's the 41mm version but also comes in 38mm.

I like the understated look as I wanted something less ostentatious than my PO GMT. I was also looking at Nomos but the budget didn't stretch that far.

I like that too; very legible and unfussy design. Would look great on a good calf or even croc strap; plenty out there

+1 that is extremely nice.

Oh, and congratulations on the engagement. We got engaged about 15 years ago. Still haven’t got round to a wedding.... (and she certainly hasn’t bought me any watches..!).

Just had a look at the prices on the online store and I have to say, even at RRP of around a grand, I think it’s a really stunning watch. Definitely “less is more”. I actually prefer a bracelet to a strap as well. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

There are still some hideous shockers on the website too! I know taste is subjective, but the Rado range goes from understated class like the OP’s choice, to stuff that the design team at Michael Kors would go “Nah, way too blingy” at!

I might have to find a UK stockist and go and have a look in the flesh.

I like that a lot, very different to my Rados, if I'd seen one of before I bought my Mont Blanc I'd have saved a wedge of cash and still been happy.

I have this with a black leather strap as my dress watch. If you can try and get a black leather strap and the Rado deployant clasp.


Love it, it’s a great watch and not that common. Got it last year and wear it for the smart days out.
