    I mostly buy from auction sites, most commonly EBay, Ricardo (Swiss) and Yahoo Japan auctions. Occasionally I have used the Mercado auction site for purchases from South America.

    I use either Buyee or Mailorder Japan to bid on the Japanese auctions, for the other auction sites I have my own accounts.

    I find it's much more difficult nowdays to find a good auction for an original Rado watch. When I bought mines 6/7 years ago ther was a lot more to discover... More than that in France now we don't have anymore access to Yahoo Japan and we are loosing a lot of oppotunities because of that.

    I certainly wouldn't recommend Etsy for buyibg Rado watches, they have some terrible reworks on there.

    Thanks for the tip ! 😉 I had a look on this but seems to be a bit tricky, no find with cRadoc keyword search.

    aren't they over priced ? and not even talking their post cost ? seen a few and condition to the price they are asking seem very heavy ?

    had better lucky at badly name (misspelling and the like and bad pic's ) and such on ebay snag a nice golden gate once (had to flip it needed the funds ) and a few other not so well known models
