Excellent... all good to hear. Took the watch back to the shop today to get 2 'links' taken out, so SWMBO can wear it on xmas day. :-)

I have three:

The first a present from the contractor when I worked in Saudi 1983 ... Jubilee with leather strap and still as good as new

The second a present to myself about 15 years ago bought in Lanzarote ... Jubilee with four diamonds and date ... my everyday watch

The third a copy bought in Sharm about 5 years ago and still going strong

The missus has two ... one ladies Jubilee from Turkey and an Egyptian copy with fake diamonds

I like RADO smile
So you actually have two and three fakes?

Perhaps his point was that any watch from Lanzagrot or Turkey will also be a fake. But it still doesn't add up.

Bought my wife one a couple of years ago. Crystal dropped off the face. Took 3 months to repair. Fair play fixed FOC withing warranty. Now does not keep time (randomly slows down / speeds up). Going for repair again. Expect it will be gone for months again. Not really impressed...

Perhaps, but that is an assumption ... incorrect in this case smile

I've had my Rado Sintra since 2006 and worn it virtually every day looked like new until last week when a small piece of the strap broke, it's now gone off for a new bracelet I doubt if I will be back for a least 6 weeks.
