How do you know Rado is original?

Every new Rado watch comes with a warranty card issued by Rado, which must be stamped and signed on the date of purchase. If you already own a Rado watch an authorized Rado retailer or Rado Service Centre will be able to help you determine if the watch is a genuine Rado.

What is the difference between original Rado and fake?

Fake Rado watches are gold-plated, whereas real ones are never gold-plated. Real Rado watches have the word “Swiss” with three Arabic symbols on their face. Counterfeit models say “Swiss Made” or “Swiss Movement” at the six o’clock point on the face.

Does Rado keep value?

Does the Rado watch hold their value? Much like Longines, certain models will retain their value to a fair extent. Their popular models will lose roughly 30-50% once you purchase them. Discounts are certainly a possibility for these models which would help close some of that depreciation gap.

Does Rado use real diamonds?

Diamonds. It could be said that diamond is Rado’s natural ally. After all, the coveted ‘king of gemstones’ is considered the hardest natural substance on Earth. This makes it a real super material that fits perfectly into the portfolio of the ‘master of materials’.
