    Spotted this today, it's a vintage monocoque, one I've not seen before.

    Excellent, we'll have to dig around and see if we can migrate them over here.

    I bought a Japanese Rado magazine from 1966 a few years back. Here are all the relevant images.

    This last photo is quite important as it proved once and for all that Rado did build Diastars with flat crystals and that the early versions were offered on leather straps rather than bracelet only. It also shows that the 7 row NSA was shockingly expensive.

    This picture has influenced how I set up my earliest Diastars.
