Rado true secret love

I just love the Rado shine and the smooth black ceramic feel on this True Secret.

It is rare to see Rado mentioned on any enthusiast forum… 🥲

Have eyeballed them for years. Picked up a Rado Chrono years back but it was hockey puck thick and traded it. Fun watches that are doing their own thing.

I like their quality. Of their avant-garde designs, only the Ceramica sings to me. Although I still prefer their more conservative collections, like Captain Cook, Coupole Classic and the Golden Horse reissue.

From my perspective as a former salesman of - among other brands - Rado, the worst thing about them is the pin and sleeve system that they use in their bracelets. I once adjusted the bracelet on the same model of the True, the green dial version. Great watch, but...man, what a menace to work with. Adjusting that bracelet nearly gave me a heart attack.

Yeah I can totally relate on the ceramic bracelet issue. I lost a bit of weight and it went a bit loose on my wrist. I tried to remove 1 link myself, successfully, but it became quite tight! So I had to undo all the effort, LOL, and put back the link! Another annoyance is the bracelet doesn’t have a half link!

Agree, my wife and I have 4 Rados, all are the ceramic cases, mostly the True cases. I like their look, comfort and ease of reading. These are a small part of a large collection. I like them a lot, but I don’t think, in the US, they are for the average wearer as they are hard enough to work on that most dealers don‘t want to work on them and there are few ADs. So be ready for factory service, which is very good, but not fast.
