Cracked BLRO
As the title says. RSC said 8-12 weeks to get a replacement and about $1200. Fun

oh man.
It could've always been worse, i guess. Was it only the ceramic that needed repair? |

$1200? Seems high just for the insert. You got anything from RSC to show us?

Ouch! Hard to believe that piece is going to cost you $1,200.
Rolex probably makes just as much on their service prices as they do on their watches.

Oh man, sorry to hear this. Curious for the details as to how it happened as well once you're able / willing to do so. Although extremely uncommon it's my one fear of having a ceramic bezel watch vs the old aluminum inserts.

We've been told by the experts here that this is the downside of ceramic. I am not a ceramic hater at all (own the BLNR and LVC), but this is the unfortunate cost. I've read plenty of threads in which Padi commented on how ceramic will shatter and is far more expensive to replace.

Is that 1200 for the bezel insert alone, or the bezel insert plus an overhaul??
The service centers here in Japan would likely insist on an overhaul along with the replacement. |

I hit my hand into a door handle pretty hard and it cracked and just spilled on the ground. It must have caught it just right. RSC inspected the bezel to see if that was damaged as they said if it is the ceramic insert will not fit back in right. Luckily the bezel was fine. The impact was strictly on the ceramic. The crystal was fine.
$1200 to replace insert. If I needed to change the bezel the cost would have been an additional $4,000 (half the cost of a submariner) lol What kills me is the time. Bezel has to come from Geneva. They get their shipments once per month. So they will place the order and hope it comes in beginning of November. The gal told me it likely won't and the last Pepsi bezel that broke took them 3 months to get. Oh ya, watch is 2 weeks old. What can you do but just chuckle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Your valuables insurance doesn't cover accidental damage?
