As the saying goes, fashion works in cycles — what was popular a few decades ago is now back as a bigger trend than ever before. For example, in 2015, we saw the resurrection of the 1990s, with choker necklaces and even inflatable backpacks making a reappearance.

These revivals can filter through into all aspects of fashion, including watches. With a growing demand for retro and vintage-inspired watches, Babla’s Jewellers has chosen our must-have old-but-new watches for 2016. Read on to find out more…

Casio Retro Watches

It’s hard to believe that a watch that costs so little could become such an icon of watchmaking. The Casio F-91W, however, has taken the world by storm since it was launched in 1991. At the time, Casio was creating ‘information device[s] for the wrist’; increasingly complex wristwear featuring everything from calculators to calendars.

The F-91W boasted a stripped back design and it is this simplicity that has seen the design remain unchanged and ever-popular. To this day, the watch still remain popular with young fashion followers and those requiring a simple, dependable timepiece.

Not content with having just one entry on our list, Casio unveiled their range

Rado watches are Swiss luxury timepieces which are a statement of quality combined with fashion. Their uniqueness comes with exquisitely designed cases accompanied by a sapphire or mineral glass to match the rest of the watch.

There may be many reasons why a glass replacement/crystal replacement is required on your Rado watch.

Common reasons

1) The Rado glass has received a shock/knock therefore has cracked
2) Your Rado watch glass has become scratched with use over time

If you watch has a crack is very important to replacement the glass as soon as possible as the crack may lead to water ingress which may further damage the watch. It can sometimes be difficult to determine the difference between a crack and a scratch. Our london based workshop experts would be able to determine this important difference for you.

We have the inhouse expertise and equipment to carry out the replacement with original Rado parts as we are an authorised service centre for Rado watch repairs. The watch is pressure tested subsequent to the glass replacement to ensure the water resistance level is maintained.

The cost would vary based on your particular mod
