Service - Fallen

Long story short my 5 year old, now 6, picked up my watch from the sink and dropped it. It fell about 3’ on to hard 12” tile floor and though it ticked, the bezel was dinged hard and after some time... I noticed a 6-10 second loss per day and a strange sound when I shuck the watch. 2017 DJ41/2T/Jub... 400$ +200$ shipping.. for TX Service and all is well now. Gaining less than +1 after and no sounds. Wow close one...

Glad to hear all worked-out for the best. Pricey drop, but hey - it's worth it!

Cheers,

They did a good job too. Light polish. Could barely see the slight ding after..

Generel rule as a WIS, the safest place for your watch is your wrists.

I know your pain......I dropped my 16570 on the hardwood floor and heard the same whirring noise, and was losing 1 minuite every 10 mins......Sent mine into RSC, £500 for a full service which if was due anyway. Thankfully no other parts needed to fix it.

Bummer. Tile floors and toddlers usually spell trouble

Glad to hear you got it sorted

I understand your pain. Back in the day, my 3-year old daughter threw my new PP 5711 from the kitchen counter on to the tiled floor. The memory still hurts, a decade on! Had to get a new dial.

I’ve been keeping my watches on my wrist - or out of reach - ever since!

$600 well spent. Now be sure to keep it out of arms reach
