Did any water or glass get into the watch?

If not, you're really where you started, except for the heart attack, of course.

Good luck. I hope it goes well from here on out.

Andad · 25 August 2011, 12:00 PM

Saw that coming.

Bad luck Tony.

Not that it makes you feel better but you probably came very close to getting away with it.

I almost had it but it was taking toooo long

let me see how much longer it's going to take at RCS

I would say 4 weeks if lucky

Tony your a top notch guy, thanks for showing everyone the transparency (pardon the pun) of your activities

Jinder · 25 August 2011, 12:06 PM

Did you hack the movement?

meloncap78 · 25 August 2011, 12:10 PM

Ouch! Well this gives us an idea of just how thick that crystal really is. Holy smokes. Good news it that it will come back like new.

Ouch........off it goes to the RSC Tony!

HongNinja · 25 August 2011, 12:15 PM

Oh sh*t!! Man down! Man down! We need air support!!

I'm going to go cry now...

DCgator · 25 August 2011, 01:01 PM

Sorry to see the crystal messed up like that. A brand new crystal will make it all good though.

toph · 25 August 2011, 01:03 PM

whoops

FremStar · 25 August 2011, 01:36 PM

Wow Mr. G that's a tough one! I am glad we can all

about this at the end of he day

warren G. · 25 August 2011, 01:37 PM

bummmmmmmmmmmmmmmer . hopefully everything works out.

MortgageGuy · 25 August 2011, 02:13 PM

I meant that with a big smile, of course!

I'm actually pretty impressed that the watch could withstand that type of abuse for such a long time. A 5mm crystal can only take so much.

Off to RSC in Switzerland. It is going home. I think you'll have to keep this particular watch in your collection - it has earned it!

Watch Professor · 25 August 2011, 02:36 PM

Sorry to hear of this predicament.

Do you think that this will compromise the depth rating of the watch?

jedinite · 25 August 2011, 02:42 PM

Ouch!

hennabav · 25 August 2011, 02:42 PM

damn Tony!! You got guts my friend!! I'm sure an RSC visit will fix it right up!!

If I want to keep her in my collection she might not want to be with me after all what I have done to her

I am wondering how the saphire crystal got scratches and dings in the 1st place. To do that someone had to be having more fun than anyone has a right to.

MonBK · 25 August 2011, 04:45 PM

I've watched heart transplants on tv.

Seems pretty straight forward to me, cut open 2 people, pull the hearts out, discard one and reinstall the other.

Maybe I should try it?

harrishc · 25 August 2011, 04:57 PM

Might as well polish the glass off. All kidding aside, it's doesn't cost that much to have it replaced at RSC. Polishing the crystal can affect water resistance among other things. Good luck.

dalip · 25 August 2011, 05:03 PM

Ouch Tony...

I guess we know the answer to this "Is it safe..." thread

Now if Oscar had sent that to you with a bezel protector it may have been a different story
