I hope so!

Glad to hear that Gaby! All will be well. Changing dials is just personal preference, but I sure like your dial.

Puffy · 12 February 2010, 06:51 AM

Good luck dude!!

escudoturbo · 12 February 2010, 06:51 AM

Gaby,
I personally don't think it looks that bad. I am just glad that the lugs/case weren't badly damaged. A new dial and crystal with a movement service, and it will be better than before

A big chunk taken out of one of the lugs would have been bad, or a terrible ding in the side of the case

Gaby, I have been offline for a while...just read all the posts....it is sad man I know.....my black dial DJ has been through the mill with me, I smashed it up pretty badly a few years back and it was fixed by Bexley (at a price) and is now good as new.......however, before the mega smash-up I did lose a pin from the bracelet clasp (not a spring bar) and luckily I was wearing it in a pool (another good reason to wear your Rolex there) and all that happened was it sank to the bottom, big deal, 10feet or so, I swam down and collected it and had the pin replaced......good as new....don't fret.....it WILL be fixed up and it WILL be good as new.......it just takes a bit of time and some dosh.....no biggie, she'll be back on your arm soon enough.......good luck mate

They can work wonders with those fake watches nowadays!

Excellent news. Be patient and your baby will return, Grasshopper!

Great news Gaby

I was expecting much worse. Like the others, I'm fairly certain that your watch is repairable. Once you get it back, you'll enjoy it more than you ever have before. (Trust me. I know this to be true.)

Jocke · 12 February 2010, 07:43 AM

Damn it looks like my Exp when I take it for a ride on my Harley Davidson.

Gaby, your watch will be fine again.
