I have brushed it agains concrete and brick a number of times and is still flawless. I have had a tag and a few japanese watches in the past, but after a year or two they look worn, scratched etc. My rado is 6 years old and looks brand new. I know other watches are more exclusive, expensive, desirable etc, but my Rado suits me perfectly. Also, unlike Omega, Tag, Rolex etc, you dont see many fakes, and people dont assume you have just come back from Thailand.
My wife got me a Rado Ceramica Diastar for my birthday, many years ago. I can be under a car one minute, and in a power meeting with clients 2 hours later. So I just LEAVE it on. Looks GREAT with a suit, survives the driveway during a fuel tank dropping. Don't even bother taking it off to shower. Microfiber cloth rub, and a tux isn't overdressing that watch. LOVE it.
