Ouchy momma! On the plus side, the bracelet didn't suffer any scratches.

Invictus Maneo · 17 July 2014, 05:17 AM

Sorry to hear and see it, Tim. Sounds like the sort of thing that usually happens to me, but hasn't with a watch and hopefully won't.
I'm sure RSC will put it all right for you ! You have my sympathies though.

Floorguy · 17 July 2014, 05:20 AM

Same thing happened to me last summer while in florida! $hit happens, new crystal, and service, she'll look brand new!!

That was my first thought as well, but I doubt my wife would go for it.

Cheer up, Tim; the service guys will have it good as new...

dysondiver · 17 July 2014, 05:28 AM

bathrooms are the worst place .... tiles , soap and steam ,,, i try not to take my watch off in the bathroom ever ,,,
still it looks like only a crystal , no bezel or case damage ,,, it will come back like new.

rg9390 · 17 July 2014, 05:31 AM

Sorry to hear this.

Guess it's a good reminder for us to take more care at tile floors. Bathroom seemed to be a dangerous place.

Im a never take the watch off ever in a bathroom with a tile floor, why ever take that chance

ExplorerChris · 17 July 2014, 05:48 AM

OMG that gives me such a terrible feeling rightin the pit of my stomach.
I had a scratch just under the cyclops which can't compare and I ran off to Rolex Canda for a new crystal ASAP

Good luck with the repair

Jocke · 17 July 2014, 05:54 AM

A new crystal and a blow job and it's good to go again.

Fenster · 17 July 2014, 05:58 AM

Life as we live it! Will always happen, no worrys m8, two more drinks amd you will be laughing about it!

I have been very careful in the bathroom but wasn't in my dining room.

My kitchen table has been taken over by a Linux project for the past few weeks and I didn't notice that my watch was slowly being pushed towards the edge of the table.

I appreciate the kind responses but I'm pretty laid back and know what I have to do to make it right. The watch would've been 4 years old on July 22nd and was close to needing an initial service anyway. Again, C'est la vie.

My only quandary now is do I have it polished. I have several "love" marks on it already so I'm thinking no.

Again, thanks everyone! I'll take some better pictures of the damage and post new ones when returned.

Tim

Cru Jones · 17 July 2014, 06:30 AM

:-(

Looking forward to the "as new" pix when it gets back from service!

pfg1 · 17 July 2014, 06:53 AM

Call your agent.....the repair will be covered 100% if you listed the watch as a Covered Item.....good luck!

I'd wait until service unless it's sharp enough to be a problem...

Dooooohhhhhhhh

Rashid.bk · 17 July 2014, 06:59 AM

Well, looks like it was just the crystal, good thing really because once replaced it will be good as new. Had it landed on the case side then it would be really painful.
I have a strict policy that I do not put on or take off my watch unless I'm doing it above a soft surface, like my bed, couch etc.
Once the crystal is replaced it'll be good as new.

M4rkg4rd3n · 17 July 2014, 07:02 AM

Shame.

Landshark33 · 17 July 2014, 07:03 AM

Tough break but I guess you can just look at it as getting it's next service earlier than you planned.

themast · 17 July 2014, 07:13 AM

Ouch!

Ironically you had it on a NATO... which would have helped with a spring bar failure... but you deliberately sent it to the ground!!!

Ishy · 17 July 2014, 07:36 AM

Stop scaring me guys! My entire house is tile! Good news is that the damage doesnt look terminal and it will come home better than ever.

Vincent65 · 17 July 2014, 07:55 AM

sorry to see, but will be sorted - be more careful!!

Alfredo. · 17 July 2014, 08:33 AM

OUCH! That´s bad news! Hope you can get it fixed soon!

Nycturbovr6 · 17 July 2014, 01:59 PM

Sorry about that, good luck, I'm sure it will come out perfect again

Dr.Smellody · 17 July 2014, 02:31 PM

Yikes. That makes me sick.

Hairdude1 · 17 July 2014, 02:43 PM
