Agreed. Keep an eye on its timing for a couple of weeks of normal use. If nothing changes then nothing broke of is loose inside. Enjoy it for many more years before a routine check up. As far as the case goes, the only way you'll ever damage it is to smelt it down.

Unless you wear your watch upside down, no one will ever know. You're going to scrape it, and bump it into things, and put little dents all over it. The only person who will ever know is you and your significant other. Everyone else will see one of the most beautiful wrist watches ever made. Enjoy it.

Thank you so much

I'd take some sand paper and see if you can buff it out. It's a tool watch after all. Maybe a Cape Cad cloth to finalize, just so you don't hurt yourself.

As others have said you will get other dings to match that one...

Hold off till service - if it still bugs you have it polished...

Lpugliese · 26 July 2015, 02:55 AM

bummer

I've done worse to watches while wearing them. If that's all it took from a drop, you got off EASY. Don't sweat it!

It adds character:

That's what I say about my knee surgery scar from the Marines, a broken pelvis scar from snowboarding, and a screwed up ankle/foot/ leg from being hit by a car on a traffic stop.

Embrace the scratch!!!! Lol.

I'd just continue to wear and keep an eye on it.

Never ... Only if she does not keep time.

RC2 · 26 July 2015, 04:52 AM

Can't even see it. Keep it u will have more. Mine are chipped too. Adds character

31mmgirl · 26 July 2015, 04:57 AM

That happens, its robust, reliable and accurate. This watch does not need to be babied! Very rarely does the crystal shatter. If your Offical Rolex Jeweler has a repair shop, it can be buffed out, no problem!

Tile floors a Rolex's worst enemy.. You're lucky the bezel wasn't chipped or broken. I wouldn't worry much about it, the scuffs are rather minimal and not in clear sight.

My polished case and PCL's get new scratches almost every day (so delicate!...) it hurts but it's inevitable. Enjoy the watch and don't let it bother you, pop it in when service is due and it 'll return as new.

Looking good for the trauma; if it runs OK you've got it made until service time.

kudosguy · 27 July 2015, 06:13 PM

You got off lightly

Old Geezer · 27 July 2015, 06:36 PM

Doesn't look too bad to me. As long as it keeps good time, enjoy it and try to forget the scratch is there.
