Hi there,

I have this old Rado Florence Leather Band Dress Watch that I would like to replace the battery on. I used to have this done by Watch Repair people but now it seems to be outrageously expensive. Can somebody give me instructions on how to do it. I've replaced batteries on press in back caps and screw in caps but not really sure with this one. Thank you and sure would appreciate the help. Here's a pic.

Looks like a snap back, look for the place to pry on the back.

One thing about this watch.... The whole front is the crystal and I would be very worried about cracking it when closing it up.

Thanks for the response and help. I closely looked at the silver round back and there seems to be an indentation for prying. I'll try and update. Thanks again, Anil.

      Yes, now that you mention it, I think I remember (it was a very long time ago) creating a link for each picture, and that was massively time-consuming. I'll edit the post once I get the time for it. By the way, it's good to see you back on the forum!

      Why now Mark ?  And which contact has brought you here ? People have been trying for bloody months to get hold of you for reassurance. Shite way to run a forum tbh. Seven months since you last visited. I think we all need to have a long discussion with you about what happens if anything happens to you. Please look forward to lots of questions.  Thanks for the link John, it will be interesting to find out how much it costs when they email me back.

      Hi guys. @VWatchie Those images are self hosted (not hosted on this server). Do a look at the page source and you will see this. I’m afraid, I can’t have control or backup images not hosted on this server. ( They seem to be served from here: https://qehvsw.bn.files.1drv.com/) This server is backed up fully every night and the database is backed up and versioned every hour, all stored off site on Amazon S1 platform. It’s hard for us to lose data. Ive got a huge overhead of space on this particular server the site is served from so no worries there 🙂 Sorry all for lack of response so far, I have been extremely busy and am embarrassed to say that priorities had to be set in place for a while.  Be assured that i’ve got constant monitoring and alerts should the site be in an extended problematic state (down etc) and work on these issues if they arise.

      Web sites are cheap. Message board are easy. Hosting both is less than 100 usd a year and small advertising would cover most of that.  In the discord group we did some 15 min poc and threw up a couple of different message boards on a domain i host.   The real value is the data / information / hive mind While I'm a rank amateur in watch repair the information and assistance on this board is invaluable. The members on here are friendly, entertaining and a wealth of knowledge This is what needs to be preserved  --Jeff
