Rado is just pure dominance in India or Pakistan. That's why the sales are sky high. Married an Indian woman andgot a Rado from my parents-in-law, of course.

[@chrissearle23]

Yep my Indian boss when i worked in Mumbai always wore a Rado

[@JLchevz]

same in Latin America

[@simpleh8885]

Same in Israel

[@crvq4521]

Used to be in the Philippines.

[@iqbalroskolnikov1391]

This very true. People at large in these countries especially the lower middle class do not know much about watches. Short of Rolex and Omega, RADO is their go to watch. Every Pakistani who works in the Gulf eventually returns home with a gold plated shinny RADO. I believe soon RADO gig is going to be over.

[Bell & Ross] ..."coming from a company that found its way aping aircraft instruments scale and all for it to dig deep into a non-existent history and develop a watch that bears no resemblance to its core offerings and hoping for success seems as likely as actual work being done at the construction site blocking the end of my road...." MAN you're a genius!

[@AbyssalTentacle]

Movado is really popular too as i found

[@sidmetall3771]

Oris is my favorite

[@martinharrison4245]

I've owned a ton of watches and rado are some of the best. Superbly built, robust, comfortable to wear and very accurate. They have been world leaders in different materials throughout their entire exsistance. One of the biggest selling watch brands in Switzerland. Tells you everything you need to know. I own a captain cook in 42mm green and it's an amazing watch. Defo a keeper !!!

[@vipinsuriya007]

A nice fact for you - Rado is the most popular no. 1 brand in my country India . India consists of 20% population of world . So that means almost 1/5th population recognise your rados already. 🤗

[@barfymann362]

Rado, Movado, Oris, and now Tudor seem to be the go-to wedding present for grooms in South-East Asia. I personally, prefer my speedy; of course. Rado was often seen as a brand of "Status", much like Rolex is for Saudi's.

[@burairallawati1099]

Rado is a very strong brand among South East Asians and in some countries in the Middle East. Some talk about it in the same breath of Rolex.

[@omkarchauhan7675]

[@prawirasatria7399]

In my country (Indonesia) Rado is more famous and well-known rather than any other high-end watch brand (except Rolex). Seriously, Indonesian watch market has occupied by Seiko and Rado since long time ago

[@robbertblok5612]

I do own a Rado and congratulate you guys for an excellent choice. Well made watches as they are.

[@si7817]

I own that Oris Divers 65! It was my first expensive watch purchase. It's a great watch and just the right size for my wrist. That blue dial was the first edition when it launched a few years ago and not on sale any more. Can't recommend this watch enough 👏

[@rugvedavadhani8722]

Rado in India is very famous! Owning a Rado in India is like owning a rolex!

[@tri7661]

Wow, I really did not know that! I’m kind of in the dark when it comes to watches in India. Nice to know!

[@tiborch]

Same in Iran, was in Tehran 2 weeks ago.. Rado everywhere. Rado is far from popular here in Switzerland.

[@KAM128]

Agreed. Their ambassadors are mainly Bollywood actors and it does trickle beyond India’s borders . They were the first to use ceramic within their watches and a lot more senior people in their 60’s and older I have seen wearing rado. I do believed they are positioned above longines within the swatch group but longines does seem to market itself better and comes of as a more prestigious brand within the swatch group.

[@hammad8053]

exactly, its a status symbol

[@MrAramaya]

Owh yea ? i have 3 original rado here.

[@laurusschluep7464]

I think Rado never made watches branded as Schlup & Co, only movements. They used the brand names Exacto and Rado for their watches and in 1928 decided to not only stomp Exacto but to rename the company to Rado.

[@LouisWinthorpe622]

Rad! Thanks. But after watching a doc video of their history, I would much rather own a Bulova. Excuse me for that but I don't really like black Mercedes saloons or red Toyota vans either.

[@djfc1962]

I'm amazed by the continuous brilliance, week after week, of these videos. Everything about them is just perfect.

[@holywarrior8684]

I own several luxury brand watches such as Hublot, Rolex, GP, VC etc. My first watch was a Rado Sintra Chronograph. This Rado had the most wrist time than any other in my collection. After almost 20, almost every day on the wrist, the watch still looks like brand new with no signs of wear. I am very surprised that this awesome brand is not more popular in the USA.

[@watchthisspace63]

One of the best reviews on KZbin..... Highly informative ( as usual ) with wonderful analogies ( some bitingly funny ) when comparing each brands past, or lack of it in one case..... 🙂

[@omarrahim995]

Rado is actually super famous. It's very respected in the middle east and south east Asia. Here they respect it as much as a Rolex or an omega

[@Unknown-yx3ky]

Sir, the scripts and photography in your videos are among the very best in the business. Keep up with good job!

[@SergeantMoetz]

Wait the video is about "bargains" and the first watch is about 1800 euros?! I had my hopes up too high I suppose...

[@Adam-vc1xl]

Same I was thinking 500 to 800

[@DM-rc4yu]

This is what happens when people lose touch with the reality. 1800 euros for a wrist watch that objectively sucks at telling the time is a "bargain". Sure.

[@JohnDoe-hy4cm]

Anything under 1100 is pretty ugly excluding skx

[@CC-dd6fm]

1800 for a luxury high quality Swiss is a bargain, even if I wouldn’t buy one.

[@cobbler88]

@@CC-dd6fm It depends on your point of view. Does it cost thousands to get what we classify as a luxury, high-quality Swiss watch? Yes. Is there more than maybe $200 worth of parts and labor in each of those watches (excepting for diamonds, precious metals, etc.)? No. So, we each are left to decide for ourselves what our criteria is for a "bargain."

[@hector1094]

Rado & Tissot are a status symbol for many of the upper middle class here in India. Even many of the rich ones go for Rado rather than a Rolex. maybe they are thinking like what is the point in spending shit load of hard earned money just for a crown logo.

[@AbyssalTentacle]

The Oris Aquis should have been in place of the 65 , feels way more solid / better made

[@alvinalianto5643]

These 3 have 1 things in common, vintage based reissue (arguable with the B&R) aquis doesnt fall in the same category.

[@danielespinoza6569]

I’m a Rado collector from Mexico. My grandpa started the love for them. And yes, you’re right. I’m the only one among my friends having Rado. But that’s fine... otherwise we would be all having the same watches and diversity would not be as rich as it is.

Bueno, es que marcas como Mido y Rado son poco apreciadas en Europa/EUA, mientras en Mexico y Asia son muy conocidas desde hace décadas.

[@arunprasadvenkatasubramani4097]

I have the Oris 65 and it is definitely a joy to have. Specwise it isn't anything special, but as a whole it's got a certain undeniable charm to it. I picked a new silicone strap blue and black variant for around $1100; at that price point it was a great buy.

[@Drakovox]

Rado's moving anchor is a great detail

[@Hades1989ful]

Is it me or does the Rado anchor logo keeps changing position with each shot?

[@mattpartridge1695]

Yes it rotates - sorta like the Logo on Rolls Royce wheels.

[@JohnCaseSlingIn360]

Its mounted on a jewel, supposedly if it does not rotate you should get the watch serviced as the jewels are getting sticky

Gimmickry, this is part of why no Rado for me.. love the Oris65 though😍 aaannd now I'm buying the Captain Cook.. life is funny😂

[@BrandonShannonPaul]

@@Graysonn1 unfortunately I think there's a disconnect between the general public and the watch industry. That said there's still definitely bargains at all price points. If you're trying to spend less than a grand there's always Laco, Junghans, Doxa. All brands with heritage for either less than or around $1000.

[@siddhantsabharwal]

Rado is considered luxury in some countries, it may not be as high as Rolex, but certainly ain't that behind. When we talk about Oris, it isn't that we'll know. Yes, its definitely better than Rado interns of history and mechanical watch making. Oris should be more popular just because it's one of the very few watch brands which still stands solo, and has not been eaten by a bigger company. Oris has my respect, I bought the diver 65 and I wear it everyday. Although it's kinda expensive for me, like ₹1,50,000 ($2400 approx.) but still. This watch has a sole. When ever it stops or lags behind with the time. I am more than happy to wound it everyday. It's the personal time that I spend with my watch. And I love it.

Nice review. I have the Captain Cook with Blue face and Blue strap. Just bought a Black face Rado with Black and Silver metal band. Not cheap at $3500.00 Australian dollars but the dealer let me have it for a reasonable $2700.00 Aust dollars. Our watches over here are very expensive to what Europe and US pay. I bought the new Tag Monaco a few weeks ago and retail was $9000.00 AUD but got a deal for $7000.00. Still very expensive. I also have issues with Oris watches as have 8 of them and 4 have had the Crown fall out after just pulling it out to wind manually. Has anyone else had the same issues?. Would love to know. Just be aware when manually winding them.

[@Lance54689]

The Bell & Ross isn't a dive watch at all, it is a casual watch with a stopwatch. I love that the bezel turns both ways. It turns something that is not very useful, a bezel designed for diving that will almost never happen, to something that is useful, a simple stopwatch without the added mechanical complexity and maintenance costs of a chronograph.
