Ouch. May I ask what the repair work was? I'm not sure what course of action I'd be happy with after someone dropped my watch or allowed it to be tossed across the workshop by the buffing wheel..

when did you notice the dent? I hope it was when you got the watch returned from the jeweler?

Wow... Yeah, that's some pretty bad damage there. As mentioned above, it seems as if it was dropped with the bracelet off or something. No clue how they could do this and give it back to you like that, as if you're not going to care or even notice. |

I didnt get it fixed. they refused to accept responsibiltiy and I didnt really know what my options were for repair. new case? laser weld? I sometimes wonder if its not too late to go back to them and try to fight a little harder. What do you guys think?

I dropped mine and it looked very similar to yours. Unfortunately my bracelet won't fit. I posted a picture and was also recommend laser welding at Rolliworks. When I reached out to them, they said they won't just fix the one lug, they have to polish the whole case. Quote was for over $600.

Here's the estimate I received from Rolliworks to repair two bent lugs from it being dropped. Sorry it wasn't $600, it was actually over $900!!

Not cheap but I think worth it to restore a damaged watch to its former glory.

Have a similar dent on my Breitling Colt 44mm. Bugs the hell out of me. Dropped it on a porcelain tile floor. If it was one of my Rolex watches, I would have gotten it fixed for sure. My beater colt, paid only $900 for the watch. Going to live with it.

Have you contacted Rolliworks about it? They do amazing an amazing job at restoring worn/damaged cases and bracelets.

I'd be worried that the trauma that caused the dent might have damaged the movement inside.
If it's like that outside. |
