Is hyperchrome more of a black or graphite in person?

^^ i think its neat looking. cant say id buy it, but as a gift, id be delighted. ^^

yeah me too... but as a gift, hey I'm not complaining. "Neat" is good right?

Is hyperchrome more of a black or graphite in person? 

I did see one at the duty free shop at LAX.... if by graphite you mean more grey-ish then IIRC it is more "true black"

In the spirit of jbarwick's above post...

Purchased! Though it will not be on my wrist until early December 2013.

This is great! Enjoy it!

About a Cheap Watch

A lot of posts to catch up on since last week; I'll do that later!

In the mean time, thank you all so much for your kind comments on this. I thought I'd drop by quickly with a simple wrist shot. My son is delighted with his new watch, and it looks great on him! Here it is, along with the watch my father gave me:

Most excellent, Mimo.

... thoughts?

Not a fan, seems kinda pedestrian and I don't think the colour scheme is very successful. Since it has to be a Rado, why not go all-in?

I have no idea when I would wear something like that, but I think it's more interesting and better realised.

Mimo your sons watch looks great! Something he will hopefully have for years!

mimo - excellent choice and a great "starter" mechanical piece! Great pic!

Not to revisit a topic that fellow TWAT-ters would rather leave behind, but what G-Shock is this lovely young woman wearing?

 

[Cylon]

In other news, G-shock is coming out with some metallic variants:




Personally, I like the simple, cheaper square ones but that is just me. Still undecided as to whether I will actually pull the trigger...

This is so cool on so many levels

Mimo! Looks great on him! I am sure he will wear it and love it for years to come. It fits his wrist perfectly.

back to my previous "Rado gift from my uncle" deal.... I haven't gotten around to trying them on yet as I need to find a shop with a larger selection, but from what I've seen online the Hyperchrome seems to be pretty nice... thoughts?

What is the case/bracelet. Is it treated steel? Its nice but not very distinctive. I'd rather see you get something that is totally different from anything you have, and which is something you will only see from Rado. I really like Kaplan's suggestion.

Great photo and great choice for your son's first mechanical watch! Well done Mimo.

Agreed. This is a great tradition and will be a great memory for both of you.
