Phew. I had to fix up my father in law's Oyster Perpetual after it landed on a tiled floor. Glad you didn't have a similar result!!

Hope all's well with you.

Billy...yep, the old 17-jewel movements that they put in Rolex watches destined for the USA in the (I think) 1960s-70s didn't even qualify for a 'Precision' dial. Ironically this one keeps time better than most of my "superlative chronometers".

cheers,

My Air-King has also been quite accurate (I want to say it has the 1520 movement but I'm not sure). Weird about the seal. Hopefully one of the techs on this forum will have their typically fine counsel.

You DID hold back on Error-King, so overall I give you high marks for restraint.

Wow wee, glad it's ok I hate carpet and always hold my arms over the bed when removing my watches, wife and kids think I'm silly, oh well

Far from your most expensive watch, but by far my favorite. Glad she had a safe crash landing :D king of air and hardwood floors
