Rado faded red anchor
Hi all, totally new to watch collecting and today purchased my first Automatic, a Rado Diastar "The Original" from Beaverbrooks in the UK. Got it home and after closer inspection the spinning anchor base appears to be faded red in comparison to other watches I've seen online. I'm just wondering if this is a common occurrence on the Rado watches with the spinning anchor or I just got a dud? Thanks 👍

My guess is it's just a difference in the image/monitor and the real life watch.
Many brands use computer graphics instead of photographs so their images look quite different to real life.

Thanks for the reply, just to follow up on this I contacted Beaverbrooks and they had one more model in stock which they sent to store and when compared side by side there was a marked difference in the colours so I've managed to exchange it for the new one. 👍
The Diastar is a great watch, I was looking at the newly released Green version. I'll get to a store and try it on when I get the chance.
