Hopefully you have insurance for you shoulder.

And your ROLEX

Kingair · 2 May 2012, 03:19 PM

Hope you are ok ?
The Rolex can be fixed . . .
We'll . . . So can you ;-)

Take care

Andelain · 2 May 2012, 03:28 PM

Yikes! Hope you fared better than that Rolex!

1675-David · 2 May 2012, 03:45 PM

ouch...hope you are OK

dba · 2 May 2012, 04:43 PM

Tha'ts just wrong. Hope all gets well soon.

nowzen · 2 May 2012, 06:34 PM

So the rolex took the shot and broke your fall... saving you from serious injury?

Fix the crystal... keep the scratches for the survival story.

And take care.

CLRBLULITE · 2 May 2012, 07:08 PM

So sorry to see that. I'm sure your sick inside. If you have insurance, make sure you utilize it. I've got mine insured for under $4.00 a month in the event of accident, loss,or stolen. They'll fix it up!

JGX · 2 May 2012, 07:10 PM

Oh hell, gutted to read this - hope you and your watch are soon on the mend!

up2nogood · 2 May 2012, 07:23 PM

Oh, that's a pisser. Where's a GShock when you need one?

HL65 · 2 May 2012, 07:25 PM

Ouch---sorry!

Bangel · 2 May 2012, 08:27 PM

Your trusty Rolex "took one for the team". Glad to hear you weren't seriously injured. I wish you and your watch a speedy recovery.

dddrees · 2 May 2012, 08:46 PM

Glad to hear your Ok.

Hopefully nothing other than the crystal is damaged.

sherwin · 2 May 2012, 09:41 PM

reminds me of when my rolex was badly damaged :(.

travisb · 2 May 2012, 10:13 PM

Sorry to see this. Hopefully you won't be without it too long..

00Seven · 2 May 2012, 11:05 PM

"Ouch" indeed!

2th Dr · 2 May 2012, 11:06 PM

I hope you are doing better than the watch!

The watch can be fixed.

jrwerner57 · 3 May 2012, 02:45 AM

thanks for all the concern. the watch i will be sending out in the next couple days to get fixed. So far im pretty lucky that the only thing that got damaged was the crystal. Case didnt get any scratches nor the hands get affected.

Atomant · 3 May 2012, 03:00 AM

That sounds great, hope you get yours fixed soon.

What a flimsy watch --- I would not even expect a Cellini to break like that let alone your watch --- Where is Rolex robustness when it is needed? This is what you get for your thousands of $$? Terrible---- That's one poorly made watch no matter anyone says.

What are you talking about? Fall on any watch, face first, on concrete and watch what happens. Even the good old g shock will get all scratched up, though it probably would still be functional.
It actually looks like it did pretty well considering what happened. Hopefully the movement is intact, and needed a service anyway. Hopefully your shoulder is intact as well.

Cheers.

kcmo · 3 May 2012, 06:45 AM

Eeeeks, sorry to see that. Glad you are OK and the watch will be repaired.

Saxon007 · 3 May 2012, 08:39 AM

Even when it is broken you can tell its a good looking watch.

Glad you are ok.

As long as the dial and hands are not damaged, you may get away with a crystal replacement. I dropped my Expy II on tile, the sapphire blew up, and was lucky enough to get away with a $200 crystal replacement.

A.J.R. · 3 May 2012, 08:48 AM

I hope your Rolex gets back to you good as new!

nauticajoe · 3 May 2012, 08:48 AM

Ouch! Sorry to hear. Keep us apprised.

ed21x · 3 May 2012, 08:52 AM

it looks like the crystal took all the damage and the rest of the watch remains relatively unscathed :) All you need is a new crystal (use opportunity to upgrade to sapphire), and you'll be good to go,

psv · 3 May 2012, 09:15 AM

That is a real bummer, send it to Bob Ridley for a much deserved spa experience and it will come back as good as new!

Also, interesting old Oysterdate - do you have any more photos of it? (unharmed, bien sure...)

A.Sharp · 3 May 2012, 09:34 AM

hope to see it looking brand new soon!

Darlinboy · 3 May 2012, 09:58 AM

Can't look!

Glad you are not hurt, the watch can be fixed.

Storm into the local AD and demand that they repair his 40 year old vintage Rolex for free.

Take Baldy with you, he'll show them how it's done.
