Had the same falling off a scooter, albeit not to that extent. Had to change bezel and crystal for around $800.
Very expensive considering it wasn't my fault. Bottom line is don't wear your precious watch on two wheels. Sh..happens! Sent from my A1601 using Tapatalk |

Doesn’t look so bad. Just a ding. The first scratch is always the hardest

That is a more primitive alternative to brushing PCLs.

Ouch! As a Harley rider and a Rolex owner, I might try to wear it 'as is' as a testament to the durability of Rolex. If nothing else, it is a conversation starter for what I'm certain was a pretty exciting ride.

I'm sure it will pop up for sale listed as a "Beautiful patina."

I saw this same pic the other day and thought, how cool looking would that be, if it still worked perfectly. I'd keep it just like that!!!

Only Watch
- Is this Rolex's attempt at creating a piece-unique for Only Watch?
- Wow, now THAT is a ghost bezel - it disappeared! - I'd heard of 'flat 4' or 'flat 6' bezel - this one is flat from 1 through 12! |

Were it not for the watch, the wrist would be ground down to the bone, or worse !
I would gladly sacrifice my watch.

Some watch ads would call that near mint condition!
