    Rado have been playing it a bit too safe of late so I'm pleased to see them developing cutting edge materials like they used to.

    I like new tech, and just about anything in titanium, but the styling is very bland in my eyes.

    I would imagine that the details visible IRL would make it much more interesting than flat pictures can portray.

    That's what I was trying to say, in my usual dull and understated way...

    I think I'd like to have seen the anchor on the traditional red background to give it a touch of colour.

    I find the position of the date somewhat distracting but at least the put a frame around it.
