Teddy, did you hit your head when you were dropped? Having trouble understanding your post.

Welcome to TRF, Teddy!

To be perfectly honest:

ROLEX WATCHES DON'T LIKE BEING DROPPED!

But accidents do happen.

Luckily, Rolex has a very good chock protection called "KIF", and a Rolex watch can take pretty hard blows.

If you want to know if your GMT II was harmed by the blow, a simple test is to monitor its precision. If the watch suddenly deviates MUCH, it needs service to get the balance oscillating in a regular way again.

If you ever drop it on a tile floor and you are unlucky that the CRYSTAL shatters, then you MUST take the watch to an RSC instantly, since small sapphire crystal parts can enter the watch via the date wheel and do much harm! This is just to let you know, IF you ever were unlucky to shatter the crystal.

Good luck!

Thanks Moose,

It is the time when I wanted to place it on the table after I took it off of my wrist. It missed the table and fell down.

Thanks a lot Spacedweller!
Actually this is not my first time here, I registered around March 2007 but later on have not log in so often then, the system might deleted my member status.

Anyway I really thanks you again for ur kind quick post and in deep details that I never know before. Hope that Kif thing did their job well as you mention. I will monitor it now.

Super thanks SIR!

Hey Teddy, if you don't take it off then you might not drop it.

I did a similar thing a year or so back and my GMT suddenly went to gaining 6 seconds a day or more. The watch needed a new hairspring. Despite me dropping it, the watch was fixed under warranty and it's now back to its original +1 or 2 seconds a day.

Hope yours is still working ok!

Check the time-keeping. If it's going too fast, then you would need to take it in to your AD and have it checked.
