Let’s say a stranger damages your Rolex.
How do you move forward? Do you ask to take a photo or their drivers license, as you would if they rear ended you in a car? Ask for their insurance? Take photos of the damage immediately following the incident? I kid, but I’m curious about the correct course of action.
This thought crossed my mind the other day when I was on a cramped plane and people were throwing around their luggage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would do nothing. My hand shouldn’t have been in their vicinity. If it got damaged by my negligence I wouldn’t blame someone else. Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

People often move into YOUR vicinity in places like airplanes. It’s totally possible a passenger could drop their bag right on your lap while attempting to put it in the overhead. Happens all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m not worried about someone’s carry on or even any person damaging my Rolex. In my 30+ yrs of flying I’ve never once had someone drop a bag on me. I put my watch through far more than that anyways. Maybe I’m crazy but when people I know show interest, I take it off and hand it to them. If they dropped it, I wouldn’t sue them, it’s my fault for giving it to them. I suggest you keep it in the safe or have it insured. Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

As everyone should if they scratch and or drop their watch and it no longer works like it did when they first purchased. Or accidents happen and life goes on. Question I'm more curious about is how often a watch is damaged due to another's negligence. Way I see it, if the impact is great enough to damage the watch, it probably saved my wrist.

I think you’d be lucky to get anywhere. Who has insurance in case they damage someone’s watch, can you get insurance for that.
It would end up being hearsay, he said she said, how could you prove it? Just saying |

I also would doubt you would get anywhere unless it was an intentional act of destruction. Just carry good insurance in case something happens.

I think you need to go outside and get some air if this is really what’s on your mind and you honestly felt you needed to share.

It's not just a watch question. What do you do if someone scuffs your $500 pair of shoes on the street or burns a hole in your $1000 dinner jacket with a cigar at a function or breaks a $120 plate at a dinner party at your home? The answer for most people is you suck it up in the hope that in a civilised society they suck it up if you accidentally do the same to them. |

You get it insured, you relax and you never have to worry about it again.

My girlfriend's bracelet scratched my Sub when we were exercising together. I immediately took her to small claims court afterwards.
