Thanks Tim.

So am I Conner. Thanks. I saw just dollar signs (well Yen signs) when that Daytona hit the floor. $1,000 service for sure I thought.

That's how I got my rolex. Broken band 40 years ago and found it on the ground when I was a kid.

I did this with a Panerai GMT. Thought nothing was wrong. Later that year I noticed corrosion on the hands. When I dropped it a seal had broken. Better get your pressure tested just in case Id suggest.
Good luck.

Watchdog · 6 April 2014, 03:36 PM

Glad it worked out for you!

And thanks for the cool pics.

Good luck...better safe than sorry...my floor was tile so harder than wood so hopefully you will be fine.

I only put on my watch and take it off over desk or table for fear of dropping it on floor. Glad it worked out for you.

Yes I agree. I always put in on and take it off over a bed. It was already on and I was walking away when it came off.

Is this common with all solid center link bracelets? If I'm remembering correctly, my 16610 Sub 93250 bracelet has never unscrewed itself, ever.

Wesley Crusher · 7 April 2014, 03:17 AM

Wow, that's scary! My heart would have skipped a beat. Since you didn't mention it, I assume the watch wasn't dented? Given that it is gold, you lucked out!

mfer · 7 April 2014, 03:45 AM

I would have freaked out! *whew*

DanCousins · 7 April 2014, 04:42 AM

I loved this thread.

It was like a day in the life of someone else, I found it really interesting.

We should have a, show your day in pictures, thread. I think that would be awesome.

MortgageGuy · 7 April 2014, 04:43 AM

Very happy all ended well for you. That could have been horrible! Great story and even better pics.

joshuaray · 7 April 2014, 07:08 AM

Glad it wasnt much worse! I probably wouldve had a panic attack had it been me.

nameIess · 7 April 2014, 08:01 AM

happened to me once with milgauss, i was lucky it fell off somehow into my suit front left pocket! you cant get any more lucky that this. oh yeah u can, i was at a mall, watch shop was few metres away, one of the staff fixed it for me for free!

Tokyo Time · 7 April 2014, 09:30 AM

Are you replacing the hardwood floor? After being pummeled by that chunk of white Daytona gold there must be a huge crater

I never heard of that shop, what city is it in?
