Guess what ismy bought now :)

[is that my watch]

That's an AS movement, being day/ date , probably AS 1859, if there's a 108 stamped on it, that's a date code for Aug '71.

interesting yeah thought the watch was slightly older then movement as thought the las palmas were 60's was it not to do with a race or something and their was another two or thee with similar place names ? could not find much on them so took a punt

[is that my watch]

think AS 1789 automatic movement. 25 Jewels.
?


am pretty certain it date for the las palmas as 1960 to 1969 ? sure read that some where ?

It's possible, but all the others I've seen have been 1858 date or 1859 day/date, perhaps they where later models. If you have need of opening it one day, it'll be stamped under the balance wheel.

Yeah, I saw one on Catwiki where the guy was claiming the 60-69 production date. Interestingly, the movement in the watch that he claims is an AS1789 was actually date stamped Oct '71 & the only other examples we've ever seen of date stamped Rado AS movements are cal 1858/9. Additionally, AS1789 is an automatic date only movement, the automatic day /dates of that family being 1709, 1767 & 1806. As you say, he's probably copied and pasted information from somewhere else.
