Thread: Rado Manhattan with brown/rust dial?

  1. #1

    Default Rado Manhattan with brown/rust dial?

    Have we previously seen and/or authenticated this dial color?

    Doesn't Mike have one with a brown dial? Hard to say from that photo but I think Mike's is a different brown. I had seen that one already and wondered. I like the crystal markers on that one.

    Hi!

    My one is more amber than brown:



    But dependant from the colour management of the camera/picture software, colours look very different from the original sometimes.
    Best regards, Mike

    I'm familiar with the luminous stripes on the typical Manhattan wedge-shaped markers. Do the dials with gem-like markers generally have luminous dots as shown in the top photo?

    I've only ever seen one other Manhattan with crystal markers and that was a while ago. I do, however believe it did have the lume dots. I'm still not sure about that one. The paint looks pretty opaque in the photos.

    That makes seinse, considering the stones aren't luminous, but the hands are.
    Thanks, Miles. Love that color!

    So here's another brown dialled/crystal markered Manhattan. It is lberkow's.



    It appears identical to the other one, with the added bonus of the three row and fitted ends.

    I guess that's a confirmation on the rust colour.

    Only available in gold cases, I suspect. Thanks for the confirmation. I'll try to remember to include this when I update my Rado1 article again...
