Exacto...Very rare and known as Rado in 1958
Something interesting here : Exacto was produced by Schlup & Co, which was a subsidiary company of Rado Watch Co. The one that I have here is believed to be made circa 1950-1957. By looking at the movement, which is AS 1237/38, the movement itself was produced starting from 1950. It is 17 Jewels, manual winding with 18,000 BPH (5 beat per second, please do not compare this with Grand Seiko, El Primero, Citizen 7230 and other Hi Beat movements). They (RWC) probably manufactured complete watches and movements was assembled by Schlup & Co. From 1958 onwards, all watches produced were to carry RADO as brand name.
This is the "father" ? of Rado, Rado that we see today. It runs great on my wrist, now I start to believe that a good mechanical watch still runs great after half a century. Serviced by experience watchmaker. Willing to let it go at RM 850 negotiable, call or SMS if interested.
Note : This watch has fixed lugs, need good ribbon or leather strap to make it look better. The one that I have here is PVC and Russian made leather backing.
Ideal...old watch for young hearted

Vintage Seiko box, Made in USA. Everything is original, intact. Hidden crown.
It is stocky, big and heavy. Stuck to your wrist. Some scratches at 1 o'clock, very solid original glass, does not have any crack and this is a curvex glass. Three dimensional. It was made in Oct 1967. Running good but I believe it must be serviced, cleaned and oiled. I have not checked the accuracy of this watch. Size of this watch is 37mm across. I am selling cheap, RM 290 or a bit less, there is some provision for you to spend on servicing. Call or SMS if interested.
