Rado Sliver Horse found and saved.
I pick up a Rado Silver Horse for the price of a pizza with four toppings. I was in bad shape scratches on the crystal, broken band, looked like some dropped it in mud there was mud under the band and in the gasket ring in the case, and the face had some damage, dirt and the R in Rado was almost completely gone and the Silver Horse was not on the face at all. The watch was not running needed cleaning which I did, but the main reason was the inner spring ring that goes around the movement was not seated properly and the watch would not wind do to that. The watch looks good I fitted on a new band with a spare part band I had and I was able to use the original Rado band clasp. Hopefully someday I can find a better face dial that still says Rado and Silver Horse on it. Still I think it looks good and its running very well.
