1. Introduction We are pleased to offer this elegant vintage quartz timepiece from the renowned Swiss brand, Rado. This model features a distinctive octagonal (8-sided) gold-tone case paired with a beautifully textured, vertically brushed champagne gold dial, exuding a classic, antique aesthetic. It is appointed with simple baton indices, the Rado anchor symbol at 6 o'clock, and a highly practical date window at 3 o'clock. Please note that this specific watch is fitted with an aftermarket black leather strap and shows visible aging from decades of practical use, giving it a deeply patinated vintage character. 2. Specifications Brand: RADO Reference Number: 729 2008 (Engraved on case back) Movement: Quartz (Swiss Made) Material: Gold-plated base metal case / Stainless Steel case back Crystal: Glass / Mineral Crystal Water Resistance: Marked "WATERSEALED" (At manufacture / Recommended as strictly non-waterproof due to age) Dial: Champagne gold with vertical brushed finish, baton indices, and date window at 3 o'clock Strap: Aftermarket (Non-original) black leather strap 3. Condition Report Overall: The watch is in worn vintage condition, showing general signs of daily use and plating wear. 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 gold-plated case exhibits surface scratches, scuffs, and noticeable fading/loss of plating along the edges and faceted corners from decades of wear. Yet, this natural wear enhances its antique charm, 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 remains structurally secure and ready for many more years of enjoyment. Dial & Crystal: The champagne dial remains in relatively clean condition, allowing you to fully enjoy its original classical beauty. The crystal may have minor, superficial hairline scratches visible under certain lighting angles, but they do not significantly impair legibility and add a warm, vintage feel to the watch. Strap: Fitted with an aftermarket (third-party/non-Rado) black leather strap. The leather shows obvious signs of use including creasing and surface wear. However, this use has softened the material, creating a remarkably comfortable, "broken-in" feel that hugs the wrist beautifully, ready for immediate wear (it also offers a fantastic opportunity to easily personalize the watch with a brand-new 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. Please note that international shipping fees and all associated customs duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. 5. A Note from the Seller The visible plating wear and surface marks on the case edges 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 classic Rado timepiece will continue to be a special and reliable companion, elegantly coloring your everyday wardrobe.
