When I was working in Thailand, there was a period where I was actively collecting vintage Rado watches, especially those who special Lapis Lazuli dials> It is interesting to note that these watches with special stone dials were sold at higher prices than Rolex or Omega during that time.

Rado blue Lapis Lazuli Diastar
This is an uncommon Diastar 8/1 model with tungsten-carbide case and a dial made of Lapis Lazuli. It is similar to most Diastars of the 1970s, with a faceted sapphire crystal, day/date display at 6 oclock and an NSA bracelet. However, the lapis dial sets this model apart from most. With a printed anchor logo (as opposed to the in-set rotating anchor found on most Rado automatics) and the white printing and marker elements setting off the stone dial material. I love the Rado Diastar with the blue Lapis. Just found another piece that come with the original box and guarantee card.
