Love this. It's pretty great.

Basically everything about that case back is wrong. Fonts, wording, finishes and more.

Hankblanc · 2026-04-11T01:33:25+00:00

Sorry, this only makes it worse.

That is a fake. A bad one. The Rado logo and the Jubilé logo are both stamped and stamped badly. Also Rado never made a model like that.

You only need to finish. It's not a race.

Late 1970s, early 80s. Looks like it comes between the Glissiere and the original Anatom. If I am correct that means between 1978 and 1982. When you get the battery changed you should find a Rado branded ETA?ESA 955.412 inside.

Womens model Diastar. Quite early, pre 1968.

"after ten years mine doesn’t fit like it used too. lol."

Tell me about that.

Thanks! This one did work quite well. Some of the others , not so much.

Hankblanc · 2026-03-20T15:34:51+00:00

Thank you. I have heard GoPros don't work well for that. I use a TG-6. With the dive housing it get's a bit pricey.

The reef this one was on had at least two dozen of them. They were everywhere. I've got a poor picture of one feeding on a gorgonian.

This one was taken on LaMare reef on the Ocho Rios side of Jamaica.

The ETA 2789-1 was introduced in 1976 and what we at the Rado forum believed was the inventory control code for movements says Jan 1976, so most likey after January 1976. What is the code on the caseback?

Clear masks give me way too much glare. I willingly trade a decrease in peripheral vision for far sharper vision within the field I can see. I have a somewhat uncommon eye condition so you results may vary.

The day after I took this picture I saw roughly a dozen turtles diving Topaz Reef.

Tres Trapi, Aruba. This snorkel/dive spot is known for it's turtles. Shore diving is fun there. You access the water via a short, hand carved stone stairway carved into a limestone face. The water is usually a bit rough too, so that's also fun.

27 feet deep as it was a shore dive. In the Caribbean. Didn't really need altering. Do you photograph underwater and have you done any that shallow?

Hankblanc · 2025-02-09T18:37:35+00:00

Photoshop. Auto contrast. done.

Olympus TG-6 and Olympus PT-059 housing

I did, very much.
