URkuk Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Came across this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-57-JEWELS-RADO-GREEN-HORSE-AS1789-SWISS-MADE-DATE-AUTOMATIC-MEN-WATCH-/120869869853?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1c2467d91d#ht_534wt_954 A 57 Jewel Rado? HUH? I'm no watchmaker but that seems like a lot of jewels. It does say 57 jewels on the dial though, misprint?
DeeKa Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Base movement is this 25j one: AS1789 But also on the rotor it states 57 jewels, so Rado modified this it seems... Well, I once gifted my ex-wife a 103 jewels Mido. 25 in the movement and 78 on the dial Dee
URkuk Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 LOL OK now I'm really confused...if it is a 25 jewel movement where do they put the other 32 jewels? Are they just decorative? Do they serve a purpose or do they just sprinkle them around inside the case? Add a couple of pubic hairs and you got a rep Rado...
Justasgood Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Backside rim of the winding rotor. No purpose other than marketing
frankt Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) My Omega Dynamic Chrono's modular movement has 44 J....I can't imagine WTF they'd need another 13 for... Edited March 4, 2012 by frankt
Adeodatus Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 as you can clearly see from the first image it's 57 jews, not 57 jewels. Every watch has to have some jews in it. omg, I'm the worst human being ever.
browngo1 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Never mind the 57 jewels, this is a MEN watch!
stiff muckler Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Fountainmelon / Font / FHF Calibre 65 could have north of 65 "werking" rubis. sm iiH!
