Well you asked for it so you got it. I am member number one in the scratched ceramic bezel club. I almost lost my right arm in a motorcycle wreck and this is how my sub survived. Not bad I say considering I totaled my Harley and shattered my right Humerus bone. The sub definately held its own weight but damn Rolex wants an arm to have it fixed so I will live with it for now. If you have a scratched bezel and a hard luck story this is where you post it.

Wow, you & your watch are gonna share some memories as the yrs go by. Wishing you a speedy recovery Clark

Even though it would bother me, I would keep it as a reminder of survival. Your Sub fared well considering the circumstances....

It's a great cocktail story.

warren G. · 28 January 2012, 05:14 PM

That is pretty darn impressive if you ask me. If that was the result from a motorcycle accident. Then I have complete faith on my SubC's bezel holding up.

George Ab · 28 January 2012, 06:41 PM

If Rolex wants and "arm and a leg" for a ceramic bezel replacement, based on what I heard about the accident you almost had an "arm" to give them.

Wish you all the best on a full recovery.

Normally I would say that scratch would drive me crazy, but with a story like that I'd rock it with pride!!! :)

The scratch is another evidence, that a Sub can take much more than yourself.

I'd keep the watch as it is and crop the xray shot with the shot of the bezel and hang it onto my wall as a kind of trophy.

Hope you're doing well.
As for the Sub, that's pretty impressive that it just got a small abrasion.

Scott95 · 29 January 2012, 01:29 AM

Have you asked your insurance if that damage is covered as part of the accident?

gwozhog · 29 January 2012, 01:50 PM
