Nice little article Mike, especially with the pictures.@RadoFan- the problem for me with the 2002 box set is that there are only two watches that I'd wear- the DS1 reproduction and the Accustar. I personally prefer the two stand alones that I've managed to get.I would heartily congratulate anyone who managed to acquire one of those sets though.

I'd put up with that damage on that colour dial too. It is too nice. You did a nice job of resurrecting that one too.I noticed I put a duplicate picture in the last post. This is the one I meant ot include:

Mine doesn't get too much wear anymore. I might move it along. If I want vintage steel I usually go for the Jetliner or the Starliner now.Close to the bottom of this page there are day/date instructions for the "Daymasters".http://mike184.beepworld.de/fakesfranken.htm

Hey Mike- is that the one you got from Sinn? It looks good.Thanks for the compliment on the Manhattan but that watch is no longer mine. I passed it on to Cindy on Tuesday.This is my new Manhattan:Of course, it no longer looks like that. It now looks like this:.The case is much sharper than the old one and the dial does not have any gasket damage.

I did a Google search as well. Some of the images you found may be some of my watches. I also saw Mikes LR.There is very little known about Louis Rossel. They seem to have sold watches starting in the mid to late sixties and possibly continuing to the end of the eighties. I saw an LR diver with papers that was sold late in 1989. They seem to have been a design house. Some of their early watches are a bit suspect; low jewel count movements, and steel plated brass cases. Early in the seventies the...

I also collect Louis Rossels. They are the only brand that could regularly make Rado look tame.

Some of the GP NCCs do have a brass case. My 101 has some ruboff and it is clearly brass underneath.@ Radofan_ that is only the GP models. By this time all Rado stainless cases are solid stainless. I also agree with Mike- you should not turn that one into a stainless version. Everything else about it is correct for a GP model.Happy Friday all!
