I was helping someone carry dresser downstairs this afternoon, with my tt sub on. I knew it was a bad look as I could feel my watch banging against the dresser

Anyway... here's the result.

As embarrassing as this is... I'm honestly not even sure what you call the white "ball" part that fell out or if it can be purchased / replaced as opposed to the whole bezel.

It was impossible to find due to the fact that I carried this beast across about 100 yards of grass and it's half the size of a beebee.

Any one know what my options are?

I think you would be best in taking the watch to the Ad and have it fitted with a new bezel insert. Simple fix.

send it to the RSC.

I think its called the pearl, I'm pretty sure you can find one from Steve Mulholland or something. I see the tritium ones up for sale sometimes.

Welcome to the Forum.

Sorry to hear your bad news.

Personally I wouldn't mess around with it. Too nice a Rolex.

Take it to your AD or a RSC. Have it fixed properly.

Let us know the outcome.

Next time be more carefull.

Only a bezel a replacement will fix it since it is soldered in. I rePlaced my bezel at rsc in Beverly hills when I replaced it due to a deep scratch. only cost 35-50 bucks!

All you really need is a new pearl--but take it to an AD if more comfortable.
