The problem is, if you send it to FDHSC you need to be careful to specify to leave the original handle intact. Otherwise they'll give you a service replacement handle which decimates the value.

This wouldn't have happened with the old, aluminium fridges...

I knocked a chip off a kitchen granite workbench with my old GMT-II C's bezel
No damage to the watch

We all have small scratches on our appliances. It's part of the deal. These small nicks build character. You will hardly notice them in a while.

If you are so worried about scratching your appliances, leave them in the box.

Really? Darn, I want to keep my gilt handle on!

Good one - you had me there.

I thought this was going to be another of those dreaded "fragile ceramic bezel" threads

I have a "safe queen" fridge that I bring out only for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Still worries me with children in the kitchen, I just can't keep ahead of the fingerprints on the PCL's(polished center lettuce crisper).

All kidding aside, I was pretty worried having seen just the first picture.

Haha I wanted to send it to the FDHSC but I can't find my warranty card! Plus I'd be without a door handle for over a month! This is a terrible situation.

You can replace a decent fridge for far less than a ceramic bezel replacement....

How does one hit something that much and NOT notice? Weird.

So do you guys think it's a good idea to get a NATO handle on my fridge and keep the original factory handle in a safe place so it won't get so scratched up by my mean old SD?

I guess it would rub off before I had a chance to ever realize it. I just happened to look at my watch right after I guess.

Does this mean porcelain is harder than ceramic since its notorious for shattering when dropped on bathroom floor tiles?

I think those new fridge door handles look terrible they are too clunky, they should have left the old style door handle on it, the old handles transition much better with the door and they would not have scratched so bad, not to mention now the cost to replace this new shiny fridge handle!

This post should be moved to the "Vintage Appliances" section...
