Back to reasonable temps, 21º C/±70)F, but end of the week and weekend a heatwave again... Still no A/C... Thinking about solar panels, that first and then they can power the A/C later... 
Anyway, my Bronze "tuna" again...

GL Dan - hoping all goes well - the Lucky Goshawk looks great. Rado DiaStar Original XL here today. I was inspired to lust for one by Paul December circa 2005 at a Windy City Windup and seeing his on the PMWF. The XL size was allegedly Rado's mythical "Unicorn" as it was always in their catalogs, but we never seen in the wild, with only the L Men's and S Women's being seen. Got this one from a local B&M jeweler in 2007 who happened to be a Rado AD, located diagonally across the town square from the Rolex AD. The jeweler closed up a couple years ago after being in business for many decades. A sad but not surprising loss. Yup, the weighted anchor does rotate on the dial, and the faceted sapphire crystal has a subtle effect on the metallic dial. The DiaStar is what made Rado famous and differentiated them from others with their "scratchproof" watch in 1962. Since then their trademark has become highly scratch resistant ceramics and the oval shape, with the DiaStar Original continuing in production with its faceted sapphire crystal and sintered tungsten carbide shell on its watch head.  |

Very nice, John! Haven’t seen one of those in a while... |

![]() ![]() Russian today. I never really thought of putting the Russian watches on bracelets- probably a fear of scraping the plating off. They look great that way, though. Very nice! |
