I went through the archives, and feel this is a new question regarding this maker (As I go thourgh a rather long and ponderous path deciding and saving for my next watch purchase):

What do you like about Rado and what don't you like?  Do you own one, and if so what one - and again what do you like about it?

I am quite attracted to the use of their coatings and ceramics as I work with equipment that sometimes is used to make the coatings and ceramic materials, so there is some professional attraction there.

Also ... there is 1 store locally that carries them, but I saw huge discounts online, and having never bought anything like that online, what do you recommend as far as purchasing, if it comes to that?

I believe Oscar has some Rado watches and is quite fond of them. Maybe he will respond with his thoughts.

Heh ... just picked up my first ... Diastar "L" size (not "XL" because although it sports a smaller dial than is popular, the proportions were just about perfect - and I preferred the straight band to the taper.

I loved the ceramic watches, but nothing looked as good on my wrist as the Diastar!

And what a sleeper - you hear next to nothing about it.  The Sales Associate told me they didn't tell too many of those despite it being one of the least expensive ones.

(I put a picture under the "new Arrivals" topic.)

I have had one of the cupola watches for 10+ years. Absolutely a keeper.

Even though it's quartz and by today's standard a "small" watch at @ 35mm. It is clean light and seemingly indestructable..
