Shock Resistance Issue.

A friend of mine was putting his six months old Submariner on a watch winder, when accidentally it fell on the hard floor from about 2 feet in height.

Apparently the watch has not a single scratch or dent, but should he sent his watch for a movement check-up of some kind?

He's kind of concerned about this

If watch is functioning as it should be, and keeping good time, I would not worry about Rolex watches are quite tough.

No need to worry, Rolexes are built to withstand a lot more shock than a 2 ft fall...

If it is working fine there is no issue

If it is not working fine, get it fixed.

In both cases there is a solution, so why worry about it?
