rolex+cement floor= not good
Last night i tripped in the garage and landed on my side. I couldnt balance myself because i couldnt get my hands out of my pocket quick enough. so even the plastic crystals will break if you land on them.

Ouch! Well, look at the bright side; when you send it to RSC you'll get it back with a beautiful new sapphire crystal!

Do you have shards of plastic beneath the crystal?
If not, you may get off lightly.

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. |
