my problem is getting scratches...i seem to get something every week! ;o

I've had a 4 foot drop in the shower.... '07 SS subdate, which was just the height of stupidity on my part since everyone here knows you just don't take 'em off or put 'em on when you could possibly drop them...
..still, luckily no crystal damage, and it gains 3 seconds/week, which as far as I'm concerned is about as good as it gets.

but it does have the slightest little ding on the case which you'd have to actually search for if you didn't know about it....but I know about it, so it's glaring to me...

Rolex will happily replace a broken crystal (under warranty) for free. Curious if this extends to the movement as well? Plz let us know.

..to me, I have to change the whole dial coz moisture wreck the silver hands and maybe the tritium making them discolored or something. That watch is not a Rolex by the way but one of the top 10 brand. My beater watch is a Tudor Monarch and built like a tank methink.

Always take your watch off over something it can afford to strike and a distance it can afford to fall.
Tools is correct, most Rolex are damaged when dropped.
