Glad you are OK! The bracelet is an easy fix/replace for not a ton of money.

Sorry to see. Looks painful.
This is precisely why I don't wear watches while on any of my 2 wheeled vehicles.

You know what they say. “Chicks love scars”. For now, just think of it as adding a little character to your watch.

But seriously. Ouch!

Ouch!

Guess what happened this morning after posting earlier on this thread. Wife and i are bicycling... she hits a slick spot on a back trail while going left and goes down right in front of me. My choices are:

A: Hop bike partially over her and her bike's rear tire, was maybe do-able. Might pull it off.

B: Lay my bike down right-sided with what little grip there was knowing she'd be fine and would be a controlled fall by me.

Picked B, went down and fortunatly no damage to ceramic Sub nd on Everest strap.

Wow, happy to know that you're okay. Now let's go to the clock, well, now your baby has a scar, it's not serious, go and fix it. A compliment, this bracelet with a scar is more beautiful than ever, your mark on your watch.

Get well soon. That damage to the watch would be more than I would personally live with and I’d be sending it in to be repaired.

Damn, rough go. Does the surface damage caused by scratches increase susceptibility to corrosion?

Eeek! That’s a tuck and roll! Glad you’re ok, but the scratch will take some polishing with scotchbrite!

I’ve suffered some falls and had watches repaired from biking too! Hopefully you will be healed up fast.
