    New Arrival Rado Balboa

    I may be downsizing the collection but can be still be tempted. Really pleased with this new arrival. It came with a “damaged case” but I think the damage was actually spots of grease that had taken a foothold on the tungsten, it was no match to the application of a little diamond paste.

    Nice one John. This model is all about the light.
    I think it's only the third one I've seen, including mine, all of them live here.

    Is this the one I saw on Yahoo Japan a week or two ago, perhaps?

    Managed to find another example, this dial reflects much more color.
