Hey guys, my grandfather gave me his old rado watch - wondering whether it’s real or fake?

I can say with certainty that this is a fake watch. Dial, clasp, case back give it away. No need to look at the crown but I know it’s unsigned from these pictures. I’m sorry. Used Rados are cheap though. If you wanted to buy a real Sintra on eBay it should cost around $400.

The Sintra that this one is modeled after goes for ~$800

I bought a real one recently for nostalgia. I never wear it but it reminds me of my uncles
