Help finding a rado watch part

[thebraketester]

My google-fu is failing me.

These plastic parts from my wife’s watch (ceramic bracelet) keep failing and I’m loathed to keep taking it back to a watch repairers (again!!!) to get it fixed, because it’s such an easy fix…. However I cannot for the life of me find the parts online.

Please help.

Thanks.

Not sure if this helps but this is the main supplier of watch spares and parts.

Good to know. Thanks. I’ve messaged them.

Would it not just be easier to swap the plastic bracelet for some other strap that might be more durable?

As long as its got standard lugs it shouldnt be an issue.

No, because the watch and strap are both ceramic and fit together. It’s a really really poor design because the plastic inserts which form the strap and retain the ceramic outer links are incredibly flimsy.

These folks have a decent selection.

Used them for my son’s watch last week and all was good.
