1. Introduction We are pleased to offer this striking vintage quartz timepiece from Rado's most iconic collection, the DiaStar, renowned for its scratch-resistant hardmetal case. This model features an unusual and sharp square (rectangular) case paired with a champagne gold dial in a minimalist two-hand format, exuding a heavy, retro-classic elegance. Currently fitted with an aftermarket metal bracelet, this specific watch has seen decades of heavy, practical use. As a result, it exhibits a strong vintage patina, including noticeable discoloration on the dial and fading of the plating, giving it the authentic, rugged character of a well-loved daily tool watch. 2. Specifications Brand: RADO Model: DiaStar Reference Number: 132.9529.3 (Engraved on case back) Movement: Quartz (Swiss Made / 2-Hand format) Material: Hardmetal case (Bezel) / Stainless Steel case back Crystal: Glass Water Resistance: Not marked (Recommended as strictly non-waterproof due to age) Dial: Champagne gold with baton indices Bracelet: Aftermarket (Non-original) gold-tone metal bracelet 3. Condition Report Overall: The watch is in worn vintage condition, showing general signs of daily use, distinct discoloration on the dial, and significant plating loss on the bracelet. However, these imperfections create a unique, deeply patinated vintage character and history that simply cannot be replicated by a brand-new timepiece. Case & Case Back: The signature hardmetal case exhibits surface scratches and scuffs from previous decades of use. Yet, the material retains its brilliant luster and heavy presence, enhancing its robust charm and giving you the reliable peace of mind to wear it freely every day without worrying about keeping it pristine. The stainless steel case back also shows typical scratches, but all engravings remain clearly visible, promising many more years of enjoyment. Dial & Crystal: The champagne dial shows obvious signs of aging, particularly around the lower edges, including discoloration, spots, and peeling of the finish. However, this natural aging enhances its genuine antique atmosphere, providing a unique, one-of-a-kind vintage personality that many collectors deeply appreciate. The crystal shows minor surface scratches and scuffs typical of its age, but they do not significantly impair legibility and blend perfectly with its antique aesthetic. Bracelet: Fitted with an aftermarket (third-party) gold-tone metal bracelet. The gold plating shows heavy signs of wear, fading, and peeling that widely exposes the base metal underneath. However, this heavy use has softened the metal's edges, creating a remarkably comfortable, broken-in feel that hugs the wrist beautifully, ready for immediate and relaxed daily wear (it also offers a fantastic opportunity to easily personalize the watch with a brand-new leather strap of your choice in the future). Movement: The quartz movement is currently running smoothly, ready to be a highly dependable companion that keeps track of your precious time. 4. International Shipping & Customs We proudly offer international shipping.

A Note from the Seller The visible aging on the dial and the faded plating on the bracelet are true testaments to the watch's rich history as a beloved daily accessory. These natural characteristics create a warm, inviting charm and a relaxed vintage cool that a perfectly polished new watch simply lacks. We are confident that this remarkably robust Rado DiaStar will continue to be a special and reliable companion, elegantly coloring your everyday wardrobe.
