Slowlow 0 Posted April 18, 2011 I'm looking at a Rado ceramic xl chrono from Mary and just wondering if any one has one? I have had a genuine Rado ceramic for the last 6 years and it is truly amazing. It seems impossible to scratch or mark it. With a quick wipe with a cloth it looks brand new. Also it is super light. My worry is that the copy rado will have STD glass etc and look very tired in a years time. Do any if you guys have one? How do they feel and wear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted April 18, 2011 The description should tell you whether its mineral glass or sapphire. If in doubt, ask Mary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowlow 0 Posted April 18, 2011 She just sent me pictures without a description. I'll email and ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowlow 0 Posted April 18, 2011 Ok, mary says they are ceramic and have the correct saphire glass. Does anyone have one, how do they feel and wear? They look great in the pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seclark007 11 Posted April 18, 2011 Mike, they're only replacements for the first gen Scirocco anyway. I would give my eye teeth to have that old car back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcNair 0 Posted April 18, 2011 Nah, I won't mind, cause if either of us wins it, we both know we will sell it to the other once we are done with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, but my corrados were incredible(all 7 of them) and I miss them every day!! Sorry for the OT banter OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowlow 0 Posted April 18, 2011 I doubt any of us have Rado replica. Any reason for this? Dammit, I thought this thread was about Corrado 's, I got excited. Major let down that it's about WATCHES. Ha ha, do i spy another VW nut like myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
