Progress is a funny old thing.
Throw in mineral glass, as well. Scratches easier than sapphire, breaks a bit easier, but when it breaks, it cracks. Sapphire goes powder, glass just throws a crack.

You sound like a less than honorable person trying to lie to Rolex for a warranty repair that you KNOW was your own fault.

I agree--don't think it is going to be covered but should not cost that much!

Perhaps this will be interpreted as a manufacturer's defect and be replaced at no cost. Just being optimistic for you! It's worth a shot before spending $500+ Good luck.

I heard a ceramic bezel can/does cost more than a pretty penny, close to around a grand maybe?!? Good luck and hope you find a replacement bezel soon.

Run over by a bus or hit directly by a hard object is not going to be covered.

I was quoted $330 for a ceramic bezel, but later on TRF I heard higher..... not that much higher (sorry I forgot). Things happen, bite the bullet and send it to RSC.
