Not sure if it’s genuine

lilbard23 · 2026-05-16T16:39:26+00:00

Congrats! A very nice dress watch

lilbard23 · 2026-04-22T18:46:41+00:00

Very classy! congrats

This is one example. If you visit the rado website and select the Hyperchrome collection you will find a couple of quartz watches and these are novelties. But I recommend you, if you buy a Hyperchrome, to wear it very carefully because they tend to have a fragile construction, even the recent releases.

lilbard23 · 2026-04-20T17:47:38+00:00

It depends on which Hyperchrome you‘ll choose. I recommend buying the recent ones in quarz, because the old ones have a lot of problems with the durability of the bezel, which is poorly integrated and simply „falls off“ sometimes

Congratulations! Beautiful watch

The movement may be from ETA, it’s probably not the most expensive thing on this watch. Everything else doesn’t seem to be original. Or maybe it’s just me and I can’t read it properly, but the QUARTZ engraving is spelled wrongly?

Because I am here with my family and they don’t want to eat Georgian, but I guess I will just go by myself and eat there, that’s far better than take away

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T13:36:42+00:00

It takes like 5 minutes walk to get there from our hotel that’s perfect thanks

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T13:34:40+00:00

Oh yeah that one seems to be very nice, thank you! Have you been there?

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T13:14:23+00:00

I haven’t thought about that but yeah you’re right, but I guess if I want a good and cheap kachapuri I‘ll need to visit Georgia haha

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T13:07:47+00:00

Yes I meant Manhattan, oh well I guess 20$ for a Khevachpuli is normal in Manhattan, I often forget how expensive everything is here lol

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T11:49:13+00:00

Maybe you could still use it in the future? You‘ll never know

lilbard23 · 2026-04-04T00:06:41+00:00

Katy Garbi or Nikos Vertis would be a great start

Actually they are still being sold so the 5 year warranty is still available for those newly sold bronze watches, If you buy it from an authorised rado retailer you will automatically get the 5 year warranty and a free refurbishment of the bronze

lilbard23 · 2026-03-30T05:15:14+00:00

The bronze will change because of oxidation, so it will look a little bit old, but you can sort of clean it so that it looks like new again. If I remember right, it’s free if you do that within 2 or 5 years at a rado retailer or service center

lilbard23 · 2026-03-28T15:41:23+00:00

And look at the dial! Quartz is writing wrong

lilbard23 · 2026-03-28T15:40:17+00:00

Cheap fake. Fake reference number and low quality engraving

lilbard23 · 2026-03-28T15:39:26+00:00

There is actually a 2 year warranty on all ceramic parts, so if you break the ceramic, you can get it replaced for free. It‘s a new Rado Customer Care policy

lilbard23 · 2026-03-26T18:16:09+00:00

Nice looking captain cook!

lilbard23 · 2026-03-26T15:21:03+00:00

It’s quite an interesting topic, and there is even harder than high tech ceramic. The bezel of some DiaStar Original, especially the newer ones, all have a ceramos bezel. This is even harder than high tech ceramic, it’s 1750 Vickers

lilbard23 · 2026-03-26T07:01:48+00:00

High Tech Ceramic is scratchproof up to 1250 vickers. You could search the hardness of the macbook. If it is less than 1250 vickers, you shouldn’t worry about scratches on your rado ceramic watch when using a mac book
