Workshop Services
Rado Servicing, Testing & Restoration
Every repair begins with a workshop assessment. We recommend only the work appropriate to the watch, its condition and how it will be worn.
Complete Mechanical Service
Movement disassembly, cleaning, inspection, lubrication, reassembly, regulation and final testing.
Quartz Servicing
Electrical testing, fault diagnosis, movement assessment and repair for suitable quartz Rado watches.
Chronograph & Complication Servicing
Assessment and servicing for suitable Rado chronographs, calendar watches and other traditional functions.
Pressure Testing
Seal assessment, resealing and water-resistance testing where appropriate for the watch.
Case & Bracelet Restoration
Polishing and refinishing carried out with respect for the original case shape and surface finish.
Crystal & External Components
Assessment of the crystal, crown, pushers, seals and other external components as part of the estimate.
Vintage Rado Restoration
Preservation-led servicing and restoration with originality retained wherever possible.
Timing & Regulation
Precision testing and adjustment using professional workshop timing equipment.
Approved Workshop Standards
Genuine Rado Parts & Careful Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential before replacing components. Our watchmakers inspect the movement, winding system, calendar or chronograph functions, crown, crystal, seals, case and bracelet before preparing an estimate.
Genuine Rado components are used where required and available. High-tech ceramic cases and bracelet parts are handled with particular care; unlike metal components, ceramic is not treated with conventional polishing. Where a ceramic component is damaged, the appropriate solution may be replacement, subject to availability.
