I was walking back into my house and I hit the corner of the door with my watch...I was afraid to look down...I knew for sure it wasn't going to be pretty...The Pearl was completely missing....I sent it back to RSC and waiting their response....amazingly enough the bezel took the hit easy!!!!...not a single scratch...

From that first picture, the pearl less look isn't all that bad! Maybe it's worse in person. Let us know if they can simply press another pearl back in or if the whole bezel needs to be replaced (and how much it costs!).

Yes now they can replace the pearl only Rolex have developed a special tool just for that purpose.

locutus49 · 17 July 2015, 01:21 PM

good deal.

drgoro · 17 July 2015, 01:24 PM

OUCH, sorry man.

sickened1 · 17 July 2015, 01:29 PM

Yes, please keep us posted. Hopefully they won't have replace the whole bezel since I've read somewhere on here that the ceramic bezel is pretty pricey.

SSDAYTONAHULK · 17 July 2015, 01:38 PM

I will def follow up....I actually have the watch insured with Jewelers Mutual, but haven't told them about the damage yet. Do you think I should? I have a zero deductible...Anyone have experience with them?

Galion · 17 July 2015, 01:48 PM

Mine looked the same after I hit a door knob a few weeks ago, you cant just press another pearl from Rolex, had to replace the whole ceramic bezel for $650 including labor.

That used to be the case but apparently now Rolex has a bezel pearl replacement tool for the ceramic models, I believe member Ironstark mentioned it in a previous post in the tech subsection.

I would be getting the super glue out if the the pearl was otherwise OK. That is a joke even by Rolex standards having to replace the bezel when one small component has popped off.

They now can fit just the pearl in the ceramic inserts Rolex have developed a tool for this purpose.

Have to replace the whole stainless steel bezel or just the ceramic insert with the pearl..? If not wrong it's two portions, one is the bezel itself. The other is the pearl attached to the ceramic insert.

Ravager135 · 17 July 2015, 01:53 PM

Sorry to hear that. The pearl always seems to be the most delicate part of the bezel: aluminum or ceramic. Hope you get her back soon.

Speed · 17 July 2015, 02:03 PM

I'd be "pipped" off.

GB-man · 17 July 2015, 02:05 PM

Dang! Hope you get it back ASAP

Ritch99 · 17 July 2015, 02:16 PM

Damn, so sorry to hear that. I would have went off with all kinds of sentence enhancers. Hope you get it squared away asap.

Bangel · 17 July 2015, 02:58 PM

If it costs a lot to get fixed and you don't need the lume in the pip, I'd be tempted to leave as is. I don't think it looks that bad.

Rashid.bk · 17 July 2015, 04:13 PM

At this point Rolex should be able to get rid of the pearl altogether and use a recessed lume plot. My idea would be a lume triangle covered by a sapphire triangle recessed into the bezel, no more knocking off pips, and don't even say the sapphire can get broken....how many millions of watches have sapphire crystals with no issues in daily wear.

That is a very good idea.....Pelagos lume (although not covered by sapphire) is like this......it would result in a clean looking bezel and no knocking off possibilities

DeeTee · 17 July 2015, 04:37 PM

My ceramic models have taken beatings and are ok, the SS insert one knocked off easy.

Yep, very informative thread!

QueueCumber · 17 July 2015, 04:46 PM

I don't know, might just want to buy a second watch to wear when the Hulk needs to go in for repair. Might as well get two new watches, since more than one might occasionally have to go in for repair at the same time. Heck, I say get three new watches just to be safe....
