    Trying to find real world image of a rado hyperchrome ultra light

    I am struggling (and failing) to find a single real world image of a particular rado model - a HyperChrome Ultra Light R32069155 (not to be confused with the HyperChrome Si3N4 which visually looks identical but uses steel rather than titanium in its construction).

    If some has owned one, written a review or taken a photo of an actual one I cannot find (plenty of the plain grey version).

    Anyone able to help?

    Isn't it ceramic, not titanium?

    silicon nitride ceramic with titanium for the case's side inserts, screws, and crown. The older model I mentioned has steel inserts and a different type of ceramic.

    The materials are discussed in detail here:

    Yes the other one is too plain.

    Yes, I'd never pay retail for a rado but if the price is right...

    So bringing this back to life - did anyone ever encounter one of these in real life?

    I purchased this watch a few months back and love it. I did change the strap to a cheaper but sportier black rubber strap, and looks and wears much better.

    Let me know if there are any specific pics you would like of it and I would be happy to post.
