I dropped my watch on my bed , it seems to running fine . I was wondering , since a bed does not have any solid resistance it would be fine . Is this true ?

What? Huh? Your watch is fine.

I think your quite safe.

im sure the case would be fine... but dunno about the movement

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 October 2007, 09:35 PM

Yeah, should be fine! The KIF shock resistance can take a lot, and dropping it on a wooden floor would be much worse

But keep and eye on its precision, and if it suddenly seems to deviate, have it checked.

The only way to make sure its OK is to take the back off and check the movement. A feather could of sneaked in as it landed. Be very careful taking it off. A very small chisel is the best option

Hey Alex.

Are you serious.

Unless you bed is made from rocks, I'm pretty sure you're fine.

It's a Rolex not a Folex.

But, if you are still unsure, send it to me.

John.

Depends entirely on the quality of the bedding.

If you like 900 count sheets and down comforters, then a Rolex is up to the task.

If you prefer the harsh wool bedding, with a tight "military stretch", then you need to inspect your watch carefully for "blanket burns" or other potentially damaging abrasions....expecially on TT models.

Generally the hardness of most bedding is considerasbly less than other surfaces (as tested by standard Rockwell Hardness Measurements) so I don't think you need to worry about crystal cracks or case dents.

The movement shock system, as has been pointed out, should be able to withstand any drop from a normal height onto standard grade bedding.
