While visiting my sister I slipped in her driveway when I got out of my car .. These pictures ore the result of my fall

pawnshopkiller · 25 August 2011, 10:37 PM

Looks like you will be fine once you get that repined.

pawnshopkiller · 25 August 2011, 10:37 PM

DID you get hurt or just the watch?

esm · 25 August 2011, 10:41 PM

hope you are okay Robbie - the watch can be fixed

GradyPhilpott · 25 August 2011, 10:41 PM

Hope you're okay.

I couldn't see if the watch head was damaged.

Good luck getting the watch back into shape.

A watch can be repaired, sometimes we cannot.

Hope you didn't get hurt to badly, and I hope you can get this repaired or replaced fairly soon.

The Joker · 25 August 2011, 10:44 PM

Sorry to see Rob, hope you are ok and the watch gets fixed.

hunz · 25 August 2011, 10:51 PM

Stop seeing her

hope you are ok

DiamondJack · 25 August 2011, 10:52 PM

Looks like you came down with a hefty thud if the watch is anything to go by.

Hope nothing too painful for yourself. Watches are easily fixed even if a bit annoying at the time....... All the best

watchf · 25 August 2011, 10:58 PM

The watch saved you!

johnbeth · 25 August 2011, 10:59 PM

ouch !! Hope u feel better...

Danand · 25 August 2011, 11:01 PM

SUE! Just joking. Hopefully you are fine, as others have said the watch can be repaired. (do you have insurance?)

BH13GMT · 25 August 2011, 11:03 PM

I did 10 years worth of scratches to my GMTc in one hit. I slipped up next to a swimming pool and my wrist took the hit on the patio slabs. Pretty sure it saved a a chipped bone or two. downside is the clasp and 2 links have major scratches that wont polish out.

Hope you made it out ok. The watch can be restored to it's previous beauty. No worries!

mboverst · 25 August 2011, 11:31 PM

Glad you're ok, doesn't look like anything major and just think of it as a good excuse to have it cleaned up and looking like new anyway!

hsfrank · 26 August 2011, 12:48 AM

ouch! hope you are OK. The watch will be fine. Don't worry.

evilfij · 26 August 2011, 01:05 AM

Show us a picture of the broken driveway where the watch impact occurred!

Hope you are ok.

MortgageGuy · 26 August 2011, 01:28 AM

Sorry to hear, hope your alright... Don't worry the watch will be an easy fix

Michael M. · 26 August 2011, 01:30 AM

Ouch! Hope your okay! Nothing but a little polish & a new clasp wil be needed it looks like

Mr. K · 26 August 2011, 01:33 AM

Yes hope you are okay.

Just another adventure to bind you to your watch.

Jinder · 26 August 2011, 02:15 AM

Drag...glad you are fine. Watch can be repaired...

dooder202 · 26 August 2011, 02:28 AM

I always thought those old style claps weren't built that well for the price of the watch. Like another member said, bring it to a jeweler to get repinned and rebent back into shape. As far as the scuff on the side of the case, that looks like either RSC or an experienced jeweler will be able to polish that down.

aleiberman · 26 August 2011, 02:54 AM

We should all learn from this and not wear our Rolex watches. Keep them inside and safe.

usbzoso · 26 August 2011, 03:01 AM

looks like you can fix that yourself, the pin looks intact and so is the end on the clasp

Oyster1982 · 26 August 2011, 03:24 AM

I fell in my moms driveway and messed up my hand instead of my watch. You should sue your sisters homeowners insurance.

texex91 · 26 August 2011, 03:28 AM

Ouch

--very painful to look at for sure! Let us know how the repairs go...

Submarino · 26 August 2011, 03:29 AM

At least you are OK. It's just a watch and it can be easily repaired. No worries!

gwozhog · 26 August 2011, 03:30 AM

Man I would be perturbed too. However atleast you are allright. A buddy of mine tripped on some stairs earlier this year in February and is on his second back surgery. Unfortunately the sad reallity is shit happens. However the old saying is its not how hard you fall down in life it how fast you can get back up.

Time2time · 26 August 2011, 03:30 AM

Hope you're ok and the watch gets fixed soon.

Get her to lay a rubber driveway!
