Well Guys... I took the damaged watch for a sec down to my watchmaker (he's Rolex Certified) He told me that something can be done... So I left the corpse there and let's see what happens! He told me it will take like maybe a month or so... So, Lots of positive attitude!

Gaby, have faith ..... I'm confident it can be saved.

BASSETHOUNDS · 12 February 2010, 06:11 AM

See , just think positive ... and save up for the repair bill .

vitix · 12 February 2010, 06:12 AM

Buena suerte Gaby... it will be on our prayers

ParisDakarBmw · 12 February 2010, 06:12 AM

Good! It probably isn't that bad. You'll be able to claim Principal king tosser president in charge when you get it back.

Until then your Gaby

Very Funny...

A quick pic before it left....

Before...

Safetrends · 12 February 2010, 06:18 AM

Gaby, Rolex watches are made tough, I would bet it is nothing big, the movement should not be damaged, do not let it get to you it may be just the small stuff. Keep a positive attitude.

BTW, it looks like you were in a bar fight with the watch, Just kidding.

Numismatist · 12 February 2010, 06:21 AM

Best of luck with it.

All the little markers fell off? I see they're attached by two holes. Interesting autopsy.

Eh, only a flesh wound!
It looked like it needed a bit of a clean anyway

I am sure nothing short of running over it with a truck would render one of these un-fixable. When you get it back I am sure it will look and run like a new watch, don't give up on it so easily

Best wishes on the speedy recovery of your loved one

Gaby, If the dial has to be replaced let me know and I will see if I can find you one, I just need the year, the type of movement and a photo. PM me on my regular email on the signature part of my post. Thanks.

Yea, damage like that, about how many feet would you say it fell Gaby? I am also very sorry, it could be repaired.

A rough estimate? 15 feet or so... I'll just get a new dial for it...

I'll never send mine to RSC. I have a perfectly good, Rolex certified guy in town.
