dropped tudor bb 41
I dropped my 6 mos old tudor hert bb41 about 5 feet. I think I lucked out because it fell onto some clothing on the wooden floor, and said floor was covered by an area rug. It made no noise when it landed and no marks at all on the case. I am going to assume that the tudor bb heritage is very robust and I got lucky this time.

It should be good; as long as it continues to work properly I'd just wear it.

I've read some real horror stories which make my story pale in comparison. This will be a test to the durability of the watch. Thanks for your responses.

If it is running correctly then you should be all good.

Dropped my tag carerra (pre calibre 5 but similar) on tile floor a year or so ago. Thought it was ok until dial started moving :/
Set for a year and just sent it in recently for service. I am paranoid now and won't take my watch off over hard surfaces. A deployment buckle would have helped. Was wearing it on a standard buckle and fumbled it, but I believe alcholohol was involved. |

Dropped my speedmaster about 3 feet onto wood floor with NO barriers. You should be ok.

If it was padded fall I believe will be fine. My guess is it will keep the same time as before.
Mine hit with a sickening loud impact. Still ran but broke the dial posts. Updates? |

I dropped one of my seiko divers about a year ago onto carpet. Much less of an investment but still was not a great experience :( Luckily it still kept normal time and haven't had an issue with it. I would just keep an eye on it and note the daily variance differences based on the previous wear patterns

thanks all who responded. the watch is ok and keeping 1sec+ the last 24 hours. the takeaway for me is not taking it off.

You're fine!
I was equally lucky last week. I've never done this but I dropped my Navitimer in my tile bathroom! Luckily I looked down and it landed on the generously thick shag style shower mat!

Sorry, but you'll still need to ship to Michael Young in Hong Kong. He'll blow kisses all over your Black Bay, burn some incense in its honor, and then ship it back to you.
