230.Rado Purple Horse 11744

This Rado Purple Horse was recently picked up from a friend's shop in Alor Setar at a reasonably fair price. The shop owner was so persuasive to let it go although we were not very keen because the condition was not that attractive. The crown was jutting out, not securely in place. There were many other vintage watches he showed us, all in similar fair condition. But this Purple Horse seemed to be a bit more decent that the rest. So, we just obliged like many times before.

The radiant look reflected on his face on hearing that we finally relented to his request made our day. Still, we knew that there is work to be done on the watch when we returned home.

After some servicing done including crown changed and a new strap, the watch is now functioning well and tell the accurate time.
