How to tell the true and false RADO watches?

First, identify from the source.

Swiss radar watches are only sold in authorized retailers designated around the world, and these retailers have names on the radar website, so radar watches that are not purchased through these channels are likely to be fakes. In addition, from the price point of view, the price of Swiss radar watches can't be lower than 1000 yuan. If you encounter a Swiss radar watch with a price of 100 yuan, it is probably a fake.

Second, distinguish from the appearance.

(1) For the original radar watch, the four studs on the back cover of the watch are slotted, while the fake watch is slotted with a cross on it. The lettering on the back cover is blurred, and the RADO letter on the belt buckle is also blurred. Usually, the stamping process is not used, and all the signs are shallow and have no concave-convex feeling. It is made of stainless steel and tungsten steel, and the back cover of the fake watch may be gold plated. Moreover, the case is relatively thick. The tungsten steel of the fake watch is single in color and dark gray.

(2) The dial of the fake watch is printed with Swiss MOVT or 6 points made in Switzerland, while the original radar watch is only printed with Switzerland and a set of three digits representing the dial model, such as 0 15 or 07 1. The original radar table is engraved with the production serial number (8 digits) without duplication, while the fake table only has the same number, up to 13 digits, such as1372811523769.

(3) There is no strap number at the strap discount of the fake radar watch, and the original radar watch is engraved with a number, such as 04 140 04 142. The strap discount is also different. Jubilé Jubilee radar watch is printed on the dial. The dial is set with four natural diamonds, and the fake watch is set with artificial diamonds.

(4) Look at the factory label at the bottom of the watch. Usually there will be a brand logo on the label of the watch, and there will be a watch model identification. Some watches have laser anti-counterfeiting labels on the bottom.

Third, distinguish the authenticity of radar watches from the model and movement.

(1) The original radar watch model, one size, men's watch and women's watch have different numbers even if they are aligned, while the counterfeit radar watch has the same number for both men and women, such as120.01.3n. The counterfeit radar watch uses cheap watch cores, such as Randa movement, while the original radar watch uses high-quality ETA gold-plated watch cores.

(2) If you distinguish carefully, even the packaging, instructions and tags of watches are different in shape, printing and color. The radar watch includes a warranty card with three numbers on it: serial number, serial number and model number. These numbers will also appear on the label on the back of the warranty card holster.

(3) If the watch has gems, 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 number card. If the watch is certified by the Observatory, these numbers will also appear on the Observatory's certification card, while the fake watch has no complete card and corresponding complete information.

Fourth, the official identification of authenticity.

Real Swiss radar watches can be appraised and repaired at the counter with the warranty certificate, or you can apply for customer service in official website. There are various styles of sample drawings and technical indicators on the website of radar watches, which you can refer to and compare yourself.

Extended data

Radar watch is a product of Swiss Swatch Group, a watch group. Swiss radar watches were born in 19 17, when they mainly produced watch movements. 1957, Swiss radar watches produced the first batch of watches named after "Swiss radar watches". 1962, Swiss radar watches produced the first batch of watches that are not easy to wear-oval "Diamond Star" watches, which laid the foundation for the rapid development of Swiss radar watches in the future.

While other brands are still using ordinary materials such as gold, copper or steel to make watches, Swiss radar watches have begun to use high-tech materials such as tungsten-titanium alloy, sapphire crystal, high-tech ceramics, copper metal and polycrystalline diamond to make watches. While using extraordinary materials, the design of the watch is also combined with the materials used, which makes the watch an elegant ornament and plays a role in timing.
