Scraped my GMTIIc bezel against fridge door handle!!!

[jujin]

Title says it all. I hadn't noticed but I must have been doing this for a while. Went to look at my watch and I saw all this white residue built up on my bezel and crown. I rushed to clean it up and survey the damage and the results may shock you... Rolex may claim to have 'scratch proof' ceremic bezels but see for yourself.

Here's a picture of the residue that accumulated on the crown and bezel. I must have been doing this for weeks without knowing it.




And now the aftermath....








As you can see the fridge door handle is badly damaged. The scrape on the very bottom is quite deep, the picture doesn't quite show it. I'm dreading the cost of how much it will be to possibly have the handle repaired or replaced completely. I should have considered putting a protective plastic film around it like people do with their phones or buying insurance for my door handles and anything else that may come in contact with my watch...



Oh the watch? It's fine... Bezel, insert, crown and all
