Beautiful, one of my favourite divers' of that era ! Great to see it full set, congrats !
My cute little ca. 1963 Rado Captain Cook (with some detail pictures)
This is a ref. 11683 with an AS 1701 movement. Jubilee-type Rado bracelet. As far as I could gather some 8000 pieces were produced in the ca. 1963-1968 time frame. Cheers, HSTE ...
Aah,one of the original Capt'n Cooks 👌
I have the re-issue from Rado but of course nothing beats the original !!
Lovely looking vintage Rado
What a simple but clean looking diver yet another vintage beauty enjoy and wear it in good health; Marc

Such charm 👌🏻👍🏻

The original box is so charming as well! Keep enjoying it so much!! Cheers, Abel
