While I hope that’s true, all we know is that OP says the police told him the watch “appears to be ticking”.
But from OP’s pictures, it doesn’t look like the case was run over. Rather, the watch was on the road crown up, with the clasp closed and the bracelet standing vertically. The bracelet was run over, and the weight caused it to collapse, tearing links away and scraping the edge of the bezel against the road.
It will be interesting to see what the damage is after examined by APSC. Seems like the entire bracelet would have been severely stressed, even though it only broke in a few places. But maybe the links are mostly fine and only the internal pins will need to be replaced throughout the bracelet. But at least some of the plots will have to be replaced, and the case would have been damaged where the integrated plots were twisted out.
