Tile Floor 1, Submariner 0
The dreaded deed happened this morning, I somehow nudged my watch off of the kitchen table and it fell face down.
 I immediately hacked the movement and then called the Dallas RSC. C'est la vie... |

OUCH! That is one of my biggest fears; doing exactly what you did.
Good luck with the repairs. |

The exact same thing happened to me with my GMT II. Immediately a sick feeling in the bottom of your gut!
Sorry, RSC will make it perfect again...for a price |

Wow that looks like it dropped from a serious height! Hard to believe it simply dropped from table. Hope the repair restores things back to new!

Tragic. Hopefully you've resisted the urge to even the score with a hammer..

I know someone who had hers drop from the bathroom vanity onto tile floor in a hotel. Same result. She got it back looking like new. Good luck sir!!

Except for the bathroom, wood or carpet for me. My Rolex does not come off my wrist anywhere near a tile floor. |

Ouch, guess it's not safe to drop a watch on tile, I'm sure it will come back good as new
