First thing I thought was, "road rash;" glad it wasn't too bad!!! Hope you're on the mend!!!

Did the same a while back when I cam off a mountain bike. Ripped the pearl off my sub bezel whilst totally disproving the theory that the ceramic insert doesn’t scratch!

Gutted for you.

Was about to say that looks like a bicycle accident... high-sided or tight left turn went a bit amiss? Ugh, we off-roaders have all been there.

Ouch!

Guess what happened this morning after posting earlier on this thread. Wife and i are bicycling... she hits a slick spot on a back trail while going left and goes down right in front of me. My choices are:

A: Hop bike partially over her and her bike's rear tire, was maybe do-able. Might pull it off.

B: Lay my bike down right-sided with what little grip there was knowing she'd be fine and would be a controlled fall by me.

Picked B, went down and fortunatly no damage to ceramic Sub nd on Everest strap.

Andad · 1 September 2018, 07:26 PM

Sorry to see that but it can be fixed.

Hope you are ok.

OP well many here likes the scars on their watches. Now you too can sit in front of the fireplace a Saturday evening sipping some cognac, reminiscence the time you fell on your bike and your knee and shoulder got messed up.

As you said these things happens, it sucks but luckily it does not happen often. The scratches on the bracelet can be repaired and if there is no permanent damage to your knee or should. I think you should just be happy it was not worse

Maybe you even learned some valuable lesson from this experience? Many years ago wean I was just a teen I bicycled over a wet manhole/sewage cover, those things can become very slippery. The tire slipped and I slammed head first into the ground got myself a concussion. Luckily I did not wear watches back then. Anyway lesson learned and now I avoid bicycling on manhole covers.

It would be interesting to see pictures of this, maybe you already made a thread on it? Just curious how the ceramic scratches.

I’ve suffered some falls and had watches repaired from biking too! Hopefully you will be healed up fast.

thought exactly the same

First thing i thought was ''ugh,,, which watch am I wearing today?"
looked under my sleeve and was a bit relieved LOL
Could have been much much worse

Then I felt my shoulder and started cursing

At least you are on the mend. That’s the main thing. The watch can be fixed albeit it’s not ideal.

All the best

Glad you are ok Bruno. Fortunately this was one of your significantly cheaper pieces, although a good one. Rest up and get well soon mate.

Scars on your watch are like tattoos but with a better story! Jokes. I hope you are well and the scratches can be removed!

Looks great!

Glad you're OK!

red1108nyc · 1 September 2018, 10:20 PM

Sorry to hear of the accident bud and thankfully, it's not a AP RO bezel. Heal strong

brandrea · 1 September 2018, 11:26 PM

I’m glad to hear you weren’t seriously injured

Seems like the damage was only done to the bracelet which is better than the case.
