Rado Diastar, What Gives? permanent link to Rado Diastar, What Gives?

The absence of Rado Diastars in our inventory may be surprising to our customers. A year back, we had at least one Diastar in our inventory weekly but since Rado recently released new "Diastars" (christened Rado Original) into the market, sale price & rarity index of the vintage Rado Diastar has gone down by 50%.

Collectors’ reaction was understandably predictable - why buy vintage when there’s a brand new piece conveniently available (complete w/ box, papers of authenticity & warranty) at a nearby mall?

For collectors who are keen on upgrading their Diastar, buy the Rado Original today but sell your Rado Diastar when Rado launches another model.

Same goes for vintage watch dealers, now is not the time to sell your Diastars! Keep them in stock now but deal them out when Rado stops reproduction to release another variety.

Here’s a photo of the vintage Rado Diastar (from our website) & of the new Rado "Diastar" Original (from Google search) for comparison.

Which one’s your preference? It may be named Rado Original but it’s still looks pretty much like Rado Diastar to me, just under a new name - definitely not an all new guise. The collectors’ reaction, mentioned just paragraphs ago can pretty much attest to that.
