If the watch was still running fine, this would be my ticket to wear the shit out if it from now on until the first service then have everything cleaned up then. That first scratch/ding/scrape always hurts - sometimes literally - but it opens the door to not have to worry about babying it anymore. Real reason I love my vintage pieces so much because they have plenty of "character" already...

Ouch, that sounds painful, both the fall and what happened to the watch. Best of luck

Sorry to heard about that. Watch and bike never can be a best match.

Well you can injure yourself and your watch on a bicycle as well, no need for a motor to do that I may be wrong and it might have been a bicycle and not a motorbike, when I fell in Thailand it was a motorbike, having 25 years of bikes behind me I decided to take turns making it go sideways, thing I perfectly do when I am not drunk, thing I absolutely do not recommend beginners to do, but I was drunk and didn't calculate very good as on the 3rd turn I went too far and the wheels touched the sidewalk, making me fly and roll on myself 4 or 5 times, apart the scratches on me and the watch bracelet I was fine...

Back from APSC
Clearwater is amazing. 2 week turn around is far less than expected.

Looking at the screws it may have been polished and laser welded?

In that case I would complain and ask them to change the bezel itself, as it basically removes any possibility of removing future scratches to the bezel itself.

Thanks for noticing the screws on the bezel. To be honest I didn't catch that at all. However talk to APSC in Clearwater and it's going back for bezel to replaced at there cost.
