I plan to treat myself to a new watch next month...something between sporty and professional. I narrowed the choices down to one of these three Rado watches. They all cost the same and have the same movement. I chose these three because they're all quite handsome, IMO anyway, work with my skin tone, and don't look like every other watch out there (they also don't look like what most people imagine a Rado watch would be). The price is moderate...not cheap, not expensive. Note: photos to follow
What's your vote?
Medium (33 mm) black with second hand, diamonds and dark MoP face

Medium (33 mm) brown with second hand, diamonds

Large (37.8 mm) gray/brown with diamonds but no second hand

I like the larger size but prefer having a second hand. I love the dark MoP dial on the black one, but not sure I want a black watch.

IMO watch #3 would be easiest to read, but if you need a second hand, then #1. Watch #2 would be difficult to read because the hour baton markers sort of blend into the case.
Good luck deciding!

I much prefer the smaller size but that probably depends on your wrist size?

Based on the pics alone I prefer #2.
It’s different looking & the diamonds seem to pop, however, I have seen many a stock photo like this but in person the diamonds do not pop or sparkle at all so I think seeing them in person if possible is best.

Actually, I have seen them in person at Bucherer and the diamonds do sparkle, but good point. I have seen other watches where yes, the diamonds just look like chips of dirty glass.

Yes exactly! I still like #2. Do you tend to wear more gold tone metals or white? A mix? I do like the mixed metals of the black & the black MOP is pretty too.
