They are supposed to be quite good. Not sure as I have never owned one.

But they seem to be quite original as I have never seen anyone with one.

ALways quite fancied a ceramic one actually, but not the metal ones.

i nearly bought 1 a couple of years ago, very nice and look cool. never bought it as i needed extra links and hadn't got any and would have had to order them directly.

I believe they are good quality with a reputation for being scratch very resistant.

Looks wise, to me they have an 80's cool look about them. Perhaps a bit like some of B & O's older styling. I like them but I think I could get bored of it fairly quickly.

Who...?!?!

I like the idea of using ceramics, but also the clean lines... would prefer silver hands though.

Quite like the TH Kirium too... but [nomex on] TAG's are so bloody common [nomex off]...

Just saw one in the flesh. It's just a bit 80's without the cool.

Rado generally good for scratch resistance and always attract attention....dont even look like a watch in some light. I own that one but without the LCD readout. Also have one of their massive, well large old divers jobbies...super watch.Dont think they all look eighties and they really are an innovative company!

Have a bertolucci steel and gold, never seen em mentioned on here tho.


I`m off now to put my 70`s pornstar shorts on.....

A colleague of mine at work has one. Seriously cool looking watch, and I love the fact that even the strap really does appear to be completely scratch resistant, unlike my own Zenith.

The only thing that puts me off somewhat is that I couldn't find an auto in their range, though maybe I was looking in the wrong place.

Feel free, I'm sure everyone would love it if more people started topics on different watches.

This forum is slowly starting to pick up.

hi, i have that watch myself..

had it for 10 yrs and still looks new..

unlike the rolex and tags it is not often seen and is comfortable to wear as it is so light.

i never have the digital read out on but it can be useful.

i have around 16 diff watches and i tend to wear the rado more in the summer because it shines...sad but hey each to his own.
