  Rado is a well-known Swiss watch brand, and Rado watches have won the love of many watch enthusiasts with their elegant lines and exquisite designs. If you are planning to buy a Rado watch, do you know how to tell if it is genuine? Today, Xiaoya shares methods for identifying genuine Rado watches for your reference

  Methods for identifying genuine Rado watches

  I. Identifying genuine Rado watches by appearance

  1, on genuine Rado watches, the four case-back screws all feature single-slot straight grooves, whereas counterfeit watches have cross-head (Phillips) screws.

  2, the engraving on the case back is blurry, and the RADO lettering on the clasp is also very indistinct. Stamping processes are typically not used, resulting in markings that are shallow and lack any raised relief effect.

  3, genuine Rado watches are crafted from stainless steel combined with high-tech ceramic, while the case backs of fake watches may be gold-plated. Furthermore, the case tends to be overly thick. The ceramic on counterfeit watches has a uniform colour and a dark, dull grey tone.

  4, the dial of a counterfeit watch has SWISS MOVT or SWISS MADE printed below the 6 o'clock position, whereas genuine Rado watches only print SWISS and a three-digit number representing the dial model, such as 015 or 071, etc.

  5, genuine Rado watches are engraved with a unique production serial number (8 digits) that is never repeated, whereas counterfeit watches feature only a single, identical number with as many as 13 digits, such as 1372811523769.

  6, the bracelet clasp of a counterfeit Rado watch lacks a strap reference number, whereas genuine Rado watches all have numbers engraved, such as common black ceramic Rado models featuring 04140 04142, etc. Additionally, the bracelet clasp itself differs.

  II. Identifying genuine Rado watches by movement

  1, genuine Rado watch model numbers follow a one-model-per-number rule; even for men's and women's matching pair watches, the numbers differ. Counterfeit Rado watches use the same number for both men's and women's models, such as 120.0281.3N.

  2, counterfeit Rado watches use cheap movements, commonly Ronda movements, whereas genuine Rado watches exclusively use high-quality gold-plated ETA movements.

  3, upon careful inspection, even the watch packaging box, manual, and hangtag differ in design, print quality, and colour. A Rado watch includes one warranty card, which features three numbers: the serial number, batch number, and model number. These numbers also appear on the sticker on the back of the warranty card leather sleeve. If the watch contains gemstones, these numbers will also appear on the diamond certificate card. If the watch is a limited edition, these numbers will also appear on the limited edition reference card. If the watch is chronometer-certified, these numbers will also appear on the chronometer certificate card. Fake watches lack complete documentation and corresponding full information.

  Rado brand introduction

  Mention Swiss Rado and people naturally think of unique designs and scratch-resistant materials. Headquartered in Switzerland, Rado is a leading manufacturer of scratch-resistant watches, boasting a household name and a successful marketing network worldwide. Since the launch of the world's first scratch-resistant watch in 1962, Rado has achieved remarkable success in less than forty years.

  For Rado, the product is of paramount importance. The watch itself accurately communicates the distinct personality of the brand. Another key factor in Rado's success is effective marketing. From the internet to traditional advertising, and from promotional events to shop window displays, Rado maintains a unified global image. Customer service is also an extremely vital component for Rado. The brand always establishes a customer service centre in a region before commencing sales. State-of-the-art data systems, robust infrastructure, and well-trained staff are the guarantees of Rado's brand success. As the new century approaches, Rado will continue to explore and design unique scratch-resistant watches, further consolidating its brand positioning.

  Rado watch brand features

  Located in Lengnau, Switzerland, Rado is one of the leading Swiss watchmakers, having quickly established a distinctive brand presence worldwide. While other brands still manufactured watches using conventional materials such as gold, silver, or steel, Rado opted for pioneering materials including hard metal, sapphire crystal, high-tech ceramic, high-tech lanthanum, and high-tech diamond. Rado spent decades developing high-end technology, which today forms the core of its material technology development.
