Explorer Shattered Dial
I dropped my rolex explorer and the crystal dial basically shattered. Watch movement stopped as well.
Is it possible to fix the watch? What should I do? |

I would take it to the Rolex Service Center in NYC. Your location indicates you are in NYC. They will tell you what is wrong with the watch besides the crystal and fix it up for you.

Yes. It is possible!
Take it / send it to a Rolex Service Center. Preferably Dallas or San Francisco. And WELCOME TO TRF!!! |

Not uncommon for the a watch to stop when dropped on a hard surface.
Like suggested above, bring it in to RSC on 5th Ave. and get an estimate. Welcome to the forum. |

NY RSC will probably charge you for a service and a new crystal.
I'm sorry about the damage, but it will come back looking like new (after they lighten your wallet).

Pull the stem out to keep the watch from moving if it starts back for any reason. The last thing you want is glass crystals grinding inside the movement.
Send it to RSC for repairs |

Another ouch...just curious, how high off the ground was it, and what kind of surface did it fall onto, e.g. concrete, wood floor, etc.

My sister in law dropped a two month old womans no date
oyster perpetual. Crystal cracked and movement stopped as hands bent. Cost her over 700 bucks to have roles service it. But, it has been great for the past almost three years.
