    MMFF September 30th, 2022

    My work-wise Funky Friday is done and dusted...

    I made a conscious effort to wear and document more of my Rados this week:

    Starting with an Eiger

    A Chronometer in desperate need of a Service

    Name: IMG_20220929_211047.jpg Views: 84 Size: 64.8 KB

    I liked how the Eiger changes its look in different light:

    Name: IMG_20220929_210739.jpg Views: 64 Size: 72.8 KB

    A four-second tick Accustar

    A Captain Cook Neo with a crazy wet-suit bracelet clasp

    Have a great Friday and weekend everybody!

    Great week Slade, I'm choosing your "Captain Cook Neo" , with an honourable mention for the crazy purple dial on that Balboa

    Always loved this dial, so much style.. Is that meant to be a harpoon under the brand and if so I wonder what's the significance of that?

    It’s the symbol for unbreakable mainspring. Sometimes watch companies also spelled it out on the dial.

    A great week of watches Slade. Good to see the variety in your collection.
    I'm choosing this Eiger. I used to have exactly the same dial.

    What a week Tim!
    I have found it extremely hard to choose from such a line up but the grooved Balboa won in the end.
