Wonderful find

What a wonderful find. I love the pivoting logo. I do wonder why the name "Golden Horse" and not "Golden Seahorse".
The seahorse is very popular here in China for food. It is typically dried, and put in double boiled soups and apparently have some medical benefits.

G99, What problem? There is the Rado Golden Horse 2007 edition right next to my Bulgari P10 edition! :-) I bought them both new at authorised dealers in 2011......the former in Kuala Lumpur and the latter in Las Vegas. hehehe. Regards, MTF
a pretty faithful rendition of the original Don.

perhaps even better looking. i dont recall the original 'horse' models having certified movements so that is certainly 1 improvement. very much like Eternas heritage range. good looking with decent movements and at a reasonable price point. on another mod...
