Sorry to see your watch . . .
Hopefully it gets repaired at a reasonable price and your ready to go for another lifetime
Have a nice weekend and don't let it take your sleep away

LightOnAHill · 10 March 2012, 12:48 AM

sorry to hear your story! glad you spent cash on it so you didn't max your credit so you can at least get it fixed on a loan as the option remaining. after she gets back insure it

00Seven · 10 March 2012, 01:51 AM

That sucks man... keep us updated on what you decide to do.

GradyPhilpott · 10 March 2012, 02:02 AM

Take it to Rolex and get it done right.

Talk is cheap and that $100 estimate is about as bogus as anything I've ever heard.

I'm sorry for your troubles.

To others, we've heard stories like this on TRF many times.

Tile floors and Rolex sapphire crystals are a deadly combination, if anything goes wrong, like a drop to the floor from about 3 ft.

harry in montreal · 10 March 2012, 02:23 AM

my wife smashed out the sapphire crystal on her tudor last year. tile on the bathroom floor.

i now notice a cracked floor tile next to my toilet. i bet the rolex/tudor did this.

i bet replacing the tile and reinstalling my crapper will cost much more than a grand.

Such a horrible sight, hope all goes well with the replacement crystal

rolexdeepsea · 10 March 2012, 10:20 AM

I feel sorry for you my friend
Hopefully quick think could save internal damage

So my friend fixed the watch. It cost him 350$ at the Rolex AD here in Kuwait. The dial is still scratched and it would cost around 850$ to replace.

I wouldn't stand the scratched dial but he's okay with it and we're both happy. :)

MYK · 22 March 2012, 06:54 AM

For those who are curious, I traded the watch with a friend's 16610lv plus some cash, then traded that with a BNIB G serial 14060m plus some cash.

Alfredo14 · 22 March 2012, 06:57 AM

Well, glad to hear that at least you were able to trade. :)
All the best,
Alfredo.

JP(Canada) · 22 March 2012, 09:11 AM

One more reason to NEVER take your watch off. Sorry to read this...I feel your pain. After you get it repaired, just keep it on....always...

MartyD · 22 March 2012, 09:24 AM

I would have $hit and went blind if that was my watch!

Ljung · 22 March 2012, 09:43 AM

Congrats to be a happy man again!

Good to hear it's fixed.
The dial you can get later or when you go for a maintenance

This time . . . more luck with it !

Sounds like you made out pretty good, then! Happy it all came together for you, so to speak!

Runnin' Rebel · 22 March 2012, 11:15 AM

This is a good reason to pay the 10 bucks a month for insurance that's will cover everything with no deductible.

Agreed! And that reminds me, I have to call my insurance agent and add my latest acquisition.

dnagwhogas · 22 March 2012, 12:18 PM

Ouch! My eyes!!!! Sorry about your accident. Nothing like an RSC couldn't fix.

Home owners insurance with a collectibles(coins, stamps,old toys)/jewellry rider is MY friend.

lance3197 · 22 March 2012, 09:14 PM

as for damage a new crystal is must but i don't think there will be any other damage...........

hng · 24 March 2012, 06:16 PM

Glad to hear that buddy!
I accidentally dropped my sub before about waist height, luckily nothing serious happened.

emtman7226 · 24 March 2012, 06:59 PM

No, it slipped from my hand while i was removing it to put it on the book case. Then I tried grabbing it before it fell and must of added extra pressure on the impact.

Big Ouch.

Glad it all came out well for everyone. What a shock that must have been to see it shatter like that.

mikkolopez · 25 March 2012, 01:47 PM

Unfortunate but RSC would know what to do with it. Quick thinking on stopping the movement.

MYK · 4 August 2012, 11:41 AM

Update: I sold it to a friend. He fixed it. I bought it back!
