  1. Rado Centrix Watch Servicing and Crown replacement

     

    In this blog post we will go through the steps undertaken for the servicing of this Rado Centrix watch. The watch was presented with a broken crown (time setting knob) and stem. In this case the stem was broken within the movement of the watch due to excessive external force therefore a full service was required.

    Do Rado watches need servicing?

    Rado automatic watches generally require servicing at 4-6 year intervals as the oils and lubricants within the watch movement deteriorate and do not allow smooth functioning of the watch. This is the recommended servicing interval by Rado.

    Signs that your automatic Rado watch is in need of a service:

    1)      It keeps stopping intermittently or has completely stopped

    2)      The watch is running slower of faster than the expected

    3)      It is being actively worn, but the power reserve does not last the appropriate time

    4)      Stiff crown when trying to manually

  2. Rado Ceramic bracelet repair

    Rado, a Swiss watchmaking pioneer, has established a reputation for pushing the boundaries of materials, science and design. The brand’s commitment to innovation is evident in its use of high-tech ceramics, plasma-treated metals, and other cutting-edge materials. These unconventional choices not only enhance the watches' durability but also contribute to their distinctive aesthetic appeal, which is unmatched by other brands due to the uniqueness of the materials used. 

    Rado timepieces are celebrated for their minimalist and contemporary designs. Clean lines, ergonomic shapes, and a focus on functionality characterize the brand’s aesthetic. This modern approach resonates with individuals seeking timepieces that are as comfortable to wear as they are visually striking.

    Many of the Rado watches are made with their distinctive ceramic material. Ceramic watches appear classy on the wrist, with their usually highly polished finish and can be worn for formal and casual occasions with ease. Although the ceramic material is extremely long lasting in terms of not changing colour and having a high scratch resistant, with the right type of impact (i.e. falling on a hard floor) it can easily shatter. 

    Being such a reputable Swiss manufacturer, in most models individual parts are available to replace and repair the bracelet, which is not often the case for other volume fashion brands. We are able to carry out Rado ceramic bracelet repairs in our authorised Rad

  4. How long should a Rado watch battery last?

    If an original Rado battery replacement has been carried out then the average life is 2 years (24 months), however the exact duration is dependent on various factors.

    How long should a Rado battery last?

    Some factors which affect the battery life are listed below:

     

    - The functions present on the watch and their usage e.g. a chronograph watch would consume more power than a watch that only has a hour and minute hand display.

    - Whether an original battery replacement has been carried out.

    - When the watch was last serviced.

    Where to find a Rado authorised service centre?

    Rado always recommend have the battery replacement carried out by a Rado authorised service centre. Click here for more information on our Rado watch battery replacement service.

  5. Rado 193.0324.3 glass replacement

    This week in our workshop we have received a Rado 193.0324.3 for glass (crystal) replacement. This is an all ceramic watch under the Rado "Ceramica" family.

    This is a popular model and has the unique feature of bearing the analog and digital time, therefore also sometimes referred to as a Rado Ana-Digi watch.

    It is fortunate in this case that damage is mainly external, and there is no passageway for dust/water penetration into the movement. It is always advisable that if any damage has taken place to the casing/glass of a Rado watch this is repair as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the watch.

    As a Rado certified service centre we are able to carry out these repairs in our London based workshop. If your watch has a similar problem, please contact us for a quote.

     

  6. Rado watch glass replacement

    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.

    rado_glass

    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
