I am a bit embarrassed about taking a fake Rado to a watch shop though.
You really shouldn't feel embarrassed. 95% of rolex watches seen at watch repair shops are imitations. I would say about 75% of what you see on the street for Cartiers are fake, and about 50-60% of Rados. Breitlings are also commonly imitated. Fake Rados are really popular in the mid east. What really gets me though, is that you can get some fakes that are REALLY good. Its hard to break it to people when they get an imitation watch that they think is an original for birthday or as gifts.
