    I can't believe the anchor on the dial rotates! What a great looking watch. Is the case steel or some Rado ceramic magic?

    All I bought on Black Friday was some Nato straps.

    My Black Friday purchase.

    Congrats! It's a wonderful and iconic piece! I believe a Rado is in my future at some point! Wear this in health and happiness!

    The case is tungsten carbide. I think it's technically a ceramic. They've been making watches out of it since 1962.

    The anchors rotate on all automatic Rados apart from the mineral dials where they are painted or applied.
