Anyone in here like Rado?

I’ve had the original for 20 years while the Sintra 12. Not popular in the US but everywhere else in the world they are very popular. Always get a compliment when I wear them. Cheers

I don't own one yet, but this is probably my next watch purchase. I really like the green ceramic.

I like them, however I am not an architect!

Like the designs, and the fact Rado was a true pioneer in use of ceramic in watchmaking. I do wish more were available with matte finishes and rubber straps, though.

I've never owned one, but I had a friend that owned a black ceramic model many years ago. The Diastar is a classic.

I've actually started to play with the idea of getting a Sintra like yours.

How comfortable is it? The links seems sort of large, so without any micro adjustment, I worry fitment is a bit of a hit or miss.
Does the polished ceramic smudge a lot?

I don't own one but they've got some very cool vintage watches, ones that are attainable. Very cool pair you've got!

Wade, that's a great looking watch. I can see why you're going to get it and I wouldn't mind owning one myself.

I agree that their use of ceramics is awesome at that price point. Very popular in India. We purchased a full ceramic two tone rose gold for my mother in law while visiting Paris last year. She requested this specifically as it was discontinued and we just happened to find it in a boutique!

These watches are VERY popular amongst Indians and the diaspora community.
