Dropped the Daytona on marble floor today. The bezel did its job protecting the watch. Although ceramic bezel doesn't scratch easily, it's no Match against hard surface upon hard impact .

fungo · 2 November 2016, 09:54 AM

Ouch!

the0thrdude · 2 November 2016, 09:55 AM

Whoa!
Well, at least it was the bezel and not the crystal. Hopefully, you'll get it fixed and get it back good as new.

Louis (Toronto) · 2 November 2016, 09:56 AM

Thats gotta hurt. Interesting that the ceramic looks like a veneer on top of stainless steel.

Would be interested to know what Rolex charges for this replacement.

amygdala · 2 November 2016, 09:56 AM

Damn! That shot made me choke on my coffee. I'm pretty sure that RSC can take of that for you. Please post pics once its back to its usual glory.

traf · 2 November 2016, 09:58 AM

Wow, looks like it took it like a champ. Also interested in the cost of replacement...

Me too....and please would you post a pic from the side if possible...would be interesting to see how the bezel is attached to the metal. Thanks.

Man, that hurts. Hope it gets resolved quickly for you.

Crystal would've been a couple hundred cheaper.... wut.

sensui · 2 November 2016, 10:27 AM

This shot will live on as a legend on the internet......gut wrenching. Hopefully no other major damage was done and you get it sorted.

KrismanX · 2 November 2016, 10:47 AM

Oh man, and by the looks of it that watch has not been around too long. It was just the bezel, which is great for you... Curious to know the cost as well. Best of luck buddy! To a speedy recovery!

tkerrmd · 2 November 2016, 10:53 AM

Fixable

AK797 · 2 November 2016, 10:56 AM

Is that a Platona or a modded SS with aftermarket parts as you have discussed before? Bezel and dial look wrong.

01101001 · 2 November 2016, 10:58 AM

I bet Rolex will want to give it a full service because of the impact.

Ouch! But that might be one of the less expensive replaceable part of that watch?

Hi there !
sorry for your loss, really!
but, due to a recent tread, your picture is the best example to answer a lot people questions regarding why there isn't a Rolex Explorer II with a ceramic bezel !

Be well !

gummy · 2 November 2016, 12:23 PM

loctite 243?

ggpinoy · 2 November 2016, 12:42 PM

Yikes! Ask em to slap on a white gold bezel for the trouble ;)
