Aggh.

From the nightstand to the hardwood floor! I *think* it landed right smack on the crystal. I keep scouring it for a ding on the bezel or case. Cannot see anything yet. I hope something does not catch my eye later on...

Ugh.

Sorry, had to vent.

Sounds like the Sub took the fall with a grain of salt. Hope everything is ok. I think the only thing I would keep an eye out for if everything looks ok physically is accuracy. Sorry to hear that.

Well your lucky my six year old son dropped mine and broke the crystal into pieces , sent it in to RSC and it was as good as new, kids being kids......

.

Like Joshua already said, just check it for accuracy and you're good.

Speed · 1 November 2009, 03:09 AM

OK....it appears a minute fast....but I think it was already. Hmm. Will check again later this afternoon. Agh

The Sub is a tough one Bill..!

I'm sure it'll be fine,as others said keep an eye on its consistancy.....
Oh,don't drop it again!!

I think hardwood is more forgiving than tile. Glad it didn't damage it.

Czechman · 1 November 2009, 05:14 AM

If you look closely you'll find a dent in the floor. Those watches are heavy and tougher than wood.

DanP · 1 November 2009, 05:19 AM

Sounds like all's well I bet your heart skipped a few beats huh?
good to hear no crystal damage. I wouldnt worry about the nbalance or anything inside. they can take a beating

BarkMaster · 1 November 2009, 06:32 AM

Is it at all possible that could somehow loosen the seals?

JBat · 1 November 2009, 06:56 AM

Hope it's okay, Bill.

USCpaneristi · 1 November 2009, 06:59 AM

Surface damage wise I'm sure it's fine. The only thing I'd worry about is if the watch needs to be regulated. Happened to one of my watches. Of course, nothing that about 20 minutes at a competent watchmaker can't fix. Glad everything's ok.

Speed · 1 November 2009, 11:19 AM

Yeah....no change in time. I think I dodged a bullet!

A testament to the robustness of Rolex watches. I'm glad she's fine.

MortgageGuy · 1 November 2009, 12:27 PM

Sorry to hear about your mishap, hope all is alright

mb hawaii · 1 November 2009, 12:27 PM

Personally I wouldn't take the chance. I'd get another new Rolex just in case there's damage you can't see. Maybe a GMT or a Daytona?

Well...coincidentally, I just closed a deal on a GMT II. Should have it Tuesday!

JimSnyder · 1 November 2009, 12:45 PM

They can take it

and JJ, don't say a damn thing about the Nato

Speed · 1 November 2009, 12:47 PM

That's a nice NATO. I may have to get another Sub...to keep on a NATO !!!

I've been looking for a while. The Sub drop was about 3 feet. I think I am safe...just a stupid thing to do.

scl6118 · 9 November 2009, 06:36 AM

It's fine. These are tanks! I was at a Halloween party 9 days ago and was admiring my friend's SS Datejust, which was like 7 years old. As he was holding up his wrist, the watch fell off and onto the concrete garage floor. I was freaked out and it will haunt my dreams forever, but he picked it up and it was fine. The crystal and case were fine. It kept perfect time, as well. He said that earlier in the day his bracelet screw was all the way out and he screwed it back in, but obviously it didn't do the trick. No worries, these watches can take a lot! It's more scary to drop a Rollie than it is damaging, usually!
