Hi,I want to ask you about your experience with the Rado automatic watch.I know a man who want to sell an almost new Rado for a good price.
Asking for your openions,thanks a lot.

Rado is just trash, sorry.....

I have never seen a Rado fan in here so don't suspect you will
get many positive thoughts BUT I could be wrong.

JJ Irani · 11 March 2009, 02:40 AM

If the price is really good, Ali.....and you like the watch.....go for it, Ali.

Personally, with the kind of money you'd be spending on that watch, you'd be better off with an OMEGA.

Best - JJ

akhamdani · 11 March 2009, 04:06 AM

Thanks a lot for your replies.I will check the price & try the watch

out of all the Rado's I have seen, I hate that one the least!

cody p · 11 March 2009, 06:07 AM

i just discovered that rado is part of swatch group. like JJ says - if you like it and the price is right... i'm sure it's well made with an eta (maybe 2824?) inside.

Rado or Omega ?
Not a tough decision.
Look at the Omegas before you bite.

beemreatr · 11 March 2009, 11:31 AM

I've liked Rado's for years now. I have never owned one but I love that they care to do their own thing. One thing that’s always held me back was their small size. I am a big guy so I need a big watch and I've never known a Rado to look good on me. But, if you like the look and the price is right you wont go wrong with the quality. How this compares to Omega, I’m not following…I would think if he were looking at Invicta someone might point him towards Omega but Rado….not much out there is like a Rado
looks wise.

Slovak75 · 11 March 2009, 11:41 AM

Agreed. Not too many watch companies these days can say they have an original design. Rado has quite a few original designs and were the first to use many new materials. I'm not too keen on their ceramic series watches but the Diastar series is amazing and worth every penny.

I admit that I don't know anything about Rado's.
But imo your post was a nice balanced reply.

akhamdani · 11 March 2009, 04:44 PM

I got a picture of the watch,I didnt see it yet because the guy lives in another city.I think the price will be much lower than any Omega.But I will try it first on my wrist then talk about the price with him.Thanks to you all.

esm · 11 March 2009, 09:45 PM

imo - the ceramic Rados are fine watches. i have no issues with Rado being a part of the Swatch group - so as Breguet, Blancpain, Omega, etc.

you need at least an "unusual" watch in your collection! my Rado Sintra Chrono (Australian Open limited edition) still shares some wrist time with my LV and the Speedy and other watches.

Dayve · 27 April 2009, 08:40 AM

I am a fan of vintage Rados. I like the older SS automatics. I will say, that I only like about 10% of the Rado watches I see, but those that I do like, I really like.
