Dented Sub

Somehow I managed to get a little "dent" on the case of my TT Sub, a year old. It is on the side, near the bottom. It looks like it was hit on something and mande a little indentation. Can't imagine for the life of me how this happened as I am careful with it. Question, is this something that a Rolex Service Center or a good watch guy reparir somehow? It is not real deep or big, so maybe they have a method to smooth this back out. It is not that noticeable when wearing it but I know it's there and it bothers me. Any suggestions.

Well the first thing if its not noticeable don't worry about it, afraid its part of life while wearing.Now as long as its not two deep,at next due service Rolex will polish case as good as new.So if I was you wait till next service to get it done properly.

Hi bigG,

If a Sub case gets dented while still on your wrist, I shudder to think what might happen to your wrist!!!

Mine got dented there as well, sounds like the same place, and I'm careful with mine too.

I don't know how it happened, but I don't think they can buff it out all the way. It's pretty deep.
