Dropped my Hulk, repair now or wait for service?

[zaflying]

I dropped my hulk on tile floor two days ago due to my butter finger and put a dent in the lug(see pic).

I have been monitoring the accuracy for the past two days and it lost 5 seconds every day. It used to gain 1 second in 20 days when he was healthy.

I bought the watch new at the beginning of 2018 so only 5 months. Should I send the watch for service or regulation now? Or should I just let it be and wait until the regular service? Does anyone have similar experience? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Nicks, dings, scratches are par for the course but that one there would bother me, coupled with what appears to be some movement damage, I would bite the bullet and pay for service.

Bummer. I think that would bug me.

Don’t think LAWW does that

for a perfect watch lug size 5 series is the solution!

Yeah, best to send it in if it's now running slow. I have a Sub-C that was also running around -5sec/day.

Got it back 8 weeks ago from the Dallas RSC and it's only gained ~3 seconds since then. Amazing.

[zaflying]

how much does it cost? Would it void the original 5 year warranty?

[c41006]

The ding would not bother me but the noticeable difference in accuracy would concern me so i'd send it in

I’d send it in to check the accuracy. Just me, but I wouldn’t trim down the lugs.
Nice keyboard btw. Corsair?

[zaflying]

I got the same feeling. -5 seconds have been very consistent though.

[zaflying]

I am in Bay area and the closest RSC I believe is LA. Probably stop by AD for regulation first?
Good catch. K70

I have calmed down a little bit after two days...

[Boaters]

Send it in if it is loosing that much time there is an issue with the movement.

Funny, but I’m the opposite, the ding would bother me more

San Fran has an RSC on Post street, have them look at the timing for you.

I don't think that I would send it in for service and pay that kind of money for a few seconds. It would likely void the original warranty, which is for manufacturing defects. You, by admission, have incurred damage, although a service comes with a 2 year warranty.

Thanks for your informative response.

[Divingdeep87]

I would send it in for the timing and leave the ding for the service in 10 years.

[Cru Jones]

See how it goes... if the timing gets worse, send it in for a full service (not the best, but dropping a watch does that.)

Good luck.

Still keeps good time, great reason to have LAWW do their magic and make some beautiful beveled edges on the case

It's not exactly an RSC but is an independent Rolex specialist. Giovanni and team are great, they've worked on several of my Rolex and always done excellent work. Usually they can do a quick look-see and give you some kind of estimate while you wait.

Money would take care of that.

[siempreko]

Have them take a quick look under the hood, and polish out the ding on the bumper!

The accuracy would bother me more than the cosmetic portion of the watch

That’s a great looking ding. Those add character. Good job and here’s to many more during your ownership. I just scored a good dent in my 116500 wearing it again finally to help a friend move. Good chunk out of the top right lug. It distinguishes yours from the next guys. So again, congrats!!

The change in time-keeping would be an annoyance though. But it may self-regulate after that little shock. Maybe observe it for a week or so and reassess. But the dent is fantastic!! And congrats on the 116610lv!! Great piece.
