An older video today. Interested to hear about your take on this QC issue? isn't even a QC issue? How do you guys feel about it? Been busy so uploading this old video. A beautiful watch!!! THAT BEZEL THAT BEZEL THAT BEZEL!!! Support the Channel by checking out more videos or our Merch Shop. www.escapementwatch.com/ -Falling
I really concern about the plasma high tech ceramic bezel. Looks nice, but I don't know how durable it is againist thermal shock situations or physical impacts. Please share if you have any information or experience about this topic.
I own this watch, I've worn it quite a bit in different scenarios and haven't had any issues, even though I tend to be a bit rough with my watches. An advantage of the ceramic bezel is that it won't pick up any scratches, so it looks as perfect today as when I bought the watch. My wife also owns the 35mm version. No issues there either.
Definitely a nice looking watch. I don’t know how I missed this episode. Anyway. Yeah a bit large. I like those 37mm Golden Horses by them. Especially the blank dial with concentric circles
Yea man you pay over a g for a watch I know that’s not a lot for a watch but it is a lot for me, I’ll look into a supper macro but my Hamilton doesn’t have and dust
I've seen this common with rado's. Some worse then others. Also, the Hamilton khaki auto I did was a bit worse with dirt in there as well. The Red oris aquis I did had a lot too.
I have a d-star 20p diver from RADO in blue. They really know how to make a great dial. But as you mentioned - when you look close you can see a lot of dust. When you notice it you cannot unsee it. When the sun hits the watch from certain angles you can clearly see the dust and it sucks. RADO watches are not that affordable, their automatics are usually around 2k so seeing dust is not a good thing.
@@EscapementWatch Np, glad to help. I think RADO makes great watches but I really don´t like dust under the crystal. But I sent it to a watchmaker and he got most of it out, so I´m happy now. Other than that the watch is great. I bought it over Aquis and I´ve never regretted it.
Thank you for the great review. You are right that most consumer do not "super macro" their watch just to enjoy it. IMO, you are nick picking.. But do continue with the super macro video/shot in your video. I do enjoy it.
You’ve let us know that the bezel is some sort of ceramic hybrid but not if it exhibits the same properties as a typical ceramic bezel. Is it similar to the scratch-proof ceramic bezels we see on other watches? I’d also suggest trying to avoid asking the viewers what they think a dozen or more times over the course of the same video. We don’t have the watch in hand, so we can’t have a reasonably informed opinion about every detail. We’re watching to hear what you - the person who is actually handling the watch - thinks about it. Re: the QC issue… for a watch in that price range it is clearly pretty bad, based upon your macro images, and if I were you I would have reached out to Rado for comment before posting, so you could share their response. Any casual watch collector spending that much is going to have an issue with it and if that’s not a one-off example, that’s terrible QC.

Yea it matters. Hence my Rado catastrophe

This has an Orient watch feel to it. For some reason it made me think of the orient FEV0U003D. Great review as always.
I can see that!
Good call

True..you are a Rado fan! and I totally agree, I think the 37 golden horses are the ones to get!
@@EscapementWatch I thought of you today when I looked down at my 39.5 Aquis and I thought it looked small. I blame you 😉
Hahahahah
Yea man you pay over a g for a watch I know that’s not a lot for a watch but it is a lot for me, I’ll look into a supper macro but my Hamilton doesn’t have and dust
I've taken a liking to Rado watches lately...maybe its the Design Language that gets me...perhaps you'll feature more of them on the channel?? 🤞🏽
Possibly!
super cool watch that is the most dust ive ever seen on youtube watch reviews ever
I've seen this common with rado's. Some worse then others. Also, the Hamilton khaki auto I did was a bit worse with dirt in there as well. The Red oris aquis I did had a lot too.
Does bezel rotate?
nope
I don't understand the bezel design on that one... Decent looking watch tho...

I love love love red dates! Great looking watch and great review!
That bezel's groovy baby.
Its a beaut!
@@EscapementWatch Some of the original gold/purple horse models had fluted metal bezels similar to rolex.
I have a soft spot for Rado. I like a lot of their watches.
yeah their style is awesome
Thank you for the valuable information
Glad it was helpful!
bezel is fire
On fire bro with the reviews 👊🏼
Appreciate that

Thanks for watching!
Oh Boy! Nice one Bro. The dial is super cool and the materials are very high tech. Great review! Ty
You bet! Thanks for watching!

It is ceramic. It wont scratch.
One year on and still no one cares what Canadians think
Super macros please!
The watch is beautiful, great review
Thanks for watching!
Wow its actually very dusty,I think You can actually see it with Youre eyes too?
not really unless the right angle with the right sunlight hitting
Cool watch and great review.
Thanks for that
perfect video bro thank you
You're welcome!
I really don’t like when every time there has to be a comparison with Rolex is really unnecessary
true. You know I don't do it often. However, this flute or modern flute reminded me of the famous rolex bezel style. one is 3d one 2d.
$2,100 and free dust with purchase? No thanks.
Great review!
Cheers!
Please Rado give me a 40mm of this Watch! please!
Air conditioner vents right over the assembly table
No lume
It's a cocktail watch I think, which do not have lume.
Can't accept this kind of dusty.
