rado watches

Welcome to WUS!!!

If you like the clean styling, yes. My wife got a Multifunction black Rado for X-mas. Awesome, loads of functions in a Dressy watch!

It will depreciate, just like all other watches. Buy it for your enjoyment, not for the resale value. Rado's are very liked in Scandinavia and Germany, areas well known for the tasteful, clean Designs, and Quality.

Well, Diamond and similarily hard materials will scratch it. The Ceramic will crack like Ceramic, not glass. Glass is "unceramized Ceramic", much weaker. To make cearamic, you start with a glass and then do a hardening process.

No, hell, absolutely not! It all depends if you are of the Elegant type or more of a Redneck type. By wearing a Rado and not a G-shock shows you have a certain degree of finesse and elegance!

To me, they have always had a very strange appeal. One part of me thinks they look like something only a greasy coked up Vegas casino owner in the late 80's could pull off... But for that very reason, I kind of like them! b-)

I'm an Industrial Design major, so design is important to me. If I had to guess, I would say that most contemporary Rados will not age well (another reason I'd have a hard time actually buying one). They are anything but timeless... They are very modern and trendy. BUT, from what I have seen they are good quality, and the designs are very bold so if you like the design today, you will probably still like the watch in 20 years.

I'd have a hard time spending Rado money on a Quartz watch. I personally love the feeling of a mechanical watch on my wrist. I love that it must be worn/wound, that it ticks loudly... It's like having a little animal on your wrist!

A 20 year old could certainly wear one. Hell, I'm wearing my 1940's retangular gold Girard Perregaux as I type this, and I'm only 19. Certainly not what I "should" be wearing (I have my Superocean and a few others for that), but I get lots of compliments. If you like it, go for it.
