yikes!!! Not for me, it looks like a retro casio digital. I personally don't mind a rado and think a sintra Rado is a decent looking watch as I have a special edition piece (don't know if it is limited or not...)

Don't like a watch - don't try/buy it. It is as simple as that.

The watch is ummm not for me no two ways about it but to make matters worse the photographer could not manage a nice shot without horrid glare on the crystal.

Well the dial is uncluttered, unlike the up to five lines of unnecessary writing we are accustomed to.
The pushers are subtle and not sticking out with the lock down screws we are accustomed to.
There is no huge cyclops but the date is quite readable against the black background.

All in all, I quite like it.

As for a fake Rolex being better JJ
