Tragic news gaby - i can imagine the feeling you got when it happened & you saw the damage. Well, at least take it to the RSC and get an estimate so you know what you will be up for before deciding either to fix it or get another Rolex (down the track).

Man that sucks. I have been paranoid about spring bars since my vacation 3 years ago. I am slightly OCD and check the spring bars by looking at the lug holes when I put my watches on (for those that have lug holes). Well 3 year ago I saw that on one hole of my GMT, it looked like there was no springbar. Took it in and sure enough it was about to go and I had it replaced. The thing that bothers me is that the watch had been serviced at RSC a year before. Now I wonder, if I hadn't checked and the watch had come off like Gaby's did, shouldn't Rolex have covered the repair?

I get even more paranoid now that I have a Daytona with no lug holes which makes it harder to verify everything is OK...

Hope it comes back to life soon.

JUSTROLEXES · 11 February 2010, 09:51 AM

Oupss that hurts,
I am sorry to hear that my friend, Just do believe in miracles and don't give up that fast

djhiram · 11 February 2010, 10:09 AM

I'm so sorry this happened to you Gaby. As the Doc had mentioned, were you able to get all the parts? If so, I'm sure that it can be repaired if sent to the right watch maker. Always keep in mind that everything happens for a reason and when one door closes another will surely open. I have no doubts this isn't the last you've seen of your DJ and there will be a happy ending. Until then hang in there buddy

Highhorology · 11 February 2010, 10:35 AM

O.K. Crystal, not a big deal, hands ditto, dial?- how's the dial look? Help me out here I need details... can you still hear a heartbeat?

CoopJr · 11 February 2010, 11:41 AM

I'm sorry Gabby...that really stinks. All I can say is that you're a young man and many Rolexes will pass over your wrist in you're lifetime...I'm sure of it!

Evan614 · 11 February 2010, 11:57 AM

Ouch, did your heart miss a few beats in a row?

Did your heart stop long enough for you see a white tunnel with a very bright light at the end of it??? I know mine would of.

TSW · 11 February 2010, 12:07 PM

Oh my ... so sorry to hear that Gaby!!

xjeeunitx · 11 February 2010, 11:24 PM

sorry about your loss buddy. get some pictures and maybe one of these guys can tell you if it can be repaired or not.

lolo96706 · 11 February 2010, 11:32 PM

Sorry about your heartbreaking loss. Stay strong.

Mosco · 12 February 2010, 12:12 AM

Hey Gaby!

Just joining the party....cough...mourning. Sorry to hear it, my friend - when one door closes, another opens, as they say. Besides, RCS is good at 'reincarnation'. Look at it thins way - if this is the worst thing that happens to you this year - you've done better than most of us

I think you need a hug!

BarkMaster · 12 February 2010, 12:31 AM

WOW. Just WOW.

Very sorry to hear this.

Sorry to hear the bad news Gaby. Post photos when you can, some of us like carnage pictures. Seriously though, good life lesson learned about preventative maintenance.

JJ Irani · 12 February 2010, 02:29 AM

Just logged on and read this thread, Gaby.

Very sorry to hear what happened. Just collect all the bits and pieces and at least show it to a good watchmaker and see what he can do.

Good luck, my friend - JJ

Haven't been on much since the last couple of days, Eric..........just too much work at the office and then when I come home, just kick off my shoes and give my eyes a rest.

Not too much into Winter Sports, David..........having lived in a hot and humid country most of my life.............but I may try and catch some of the interesting bits like the ice-skating, etc.

I couldn't live without my regular dose of downhill skiing . Can assure you that I wasn't feeling fit on sunday morning after that lunch with the boys on saturday , but still went up to Andorra .
P.S. J.J. I don't think you should watch too much TV anyway at the moment , olympics or not . Rest the eyesight .

Hey I know it sounds like I'm joking here...(it's a laugh or cry situation). I really am trying to help you out. How's the dial look?

Welshwatchman · 12 February 2010, 06:03 AM

If you post some pics of the mess perhaps one of our Tech Experts will be able to assess the extent of the damage.

Do not throw it since most of the parts are worth decent money even if it's in really bad condition.

Get those pics posted, there will be only sympathy, no jokes.

Puffy · 12 February 2010, 06:25 AM
