Rado watches any good?

I have a friend who is selling this watch, Ive never hared off them but he says they are a very good and expensive watch.

Ive done a Google search but cant find this particular watch any where.

He saying it ahs RRP of £1499. But im not so sure.

Yes Rado are good, and yes Rado are expensive.

I might be biased as I bought one on monday!

I don't know that particular watch, but this site might help you get an idea of prices

Re: Rado watches any good?

Rado certainly do some stylish watches but that one isn't a current model.

The DiaStar that I know of was more a men's gold/bling style - I've never seen the model you are showing. Which could mean:

1: I'm just not as clued up as I thought .
2. It's a fantasy watch. [a fake which doesn't even copy a real watch, it just has a famous logo]

I know what you mean, think to this could be a fake copy.

Think i might email Rado and just ask them.

Bought me and the wife one each back in 2001 and they havn"t missed a beat , costs about £30 to have battery replaced and they go away to have this done.
Sons borrows mine when he goes out ( poser).
