    Get your Diastars while you can still afford them

    Hodinkee has the Rado Diastar as the latest Value Proposition.

    I wonder how much of a Hodinkee bump they will get (if any). I believe they are single handedly responsible for the Universal Geneve Nina Rindt going from a $5000 watch to a $20,000+ watch . Although I'm sure the Daytonaesque looks had a lot to do with it.

    I also heard about the Nina Rindt bump so it will be interesting to see.
    I'm a little caught, though, as I want my collection to increase in value while still being able to acquire genuine bargains...

    Just as long as Ashford keeps blowing them out for less than $500, I am alright with whatever happens.

    I've often been tempted by that diver but $60 shipping and customs charges keep me away.

    This LE cost me less than $500 including shipping and it included a set of LE cufflinks.

    I also got a women's New Original for my wife for under $500.



    Last week the white dialed New Original XL was $470
