Rado

Tried on a couple of Rados at the weekend. The ceramic one's are remarkably light and so shiny - the salesman claimed they are pretty much un-scratchable [sic]. A bit dressy for me really but quite liked them.

I own a Ceramic Rado which is about 15 yrs old I think and its truly scratchless as can be seen below.

Whatever they make these watches from it is certainly tough, although I havent tried grinding it down a concrete wall...

If you're into buying one be wary of chinese knock offs on ebay - they might as well be made of chocolate they are so soft.

Also, I've often noticed that a certain Mr James May on the Tele seems to have a decent collection of watches, including a ceramic black Rado .. funny how he talks about all his other passions but I've never noticed him banging on about watches. Yet.

I've worn a Ceramica daily for nearly 10yrs and still looks as new.

Wouldn't have another.

Very nice and not 'blingy' in the Rolex etc way
