Do you have a wider angle pic with the yellow strap ? Looks like that works which I was not expecting !

Take a look at my ig toxichorology mate. My pics are all there, including the yellow strap. Uploading pictures on here is a tad troublesome, needing to resize and all. And thanks buddy.

And for those who want to know, I literally lent it to my friend and he dropped it in that split second. Nothing I could’ve seen coming.its still somehow my own fault though.

Don’t beat yourself up about it. As you say unforeseen circumstances. If you’d completed the hand over, your friend should take some responsibility for the damage if they are aware of it.

Its a pity that personal 3rd party liability insurance isn’t more common.

Yeah I’m just going to mention it to him casually. I think he feels bad so he should offer to pay. Oh well it’s just spilled milk. No point thinking about what could’ve been.

So if a good friend of yours ask you if they could have a look at the watch you are wearing you turn him/her down? Ridiculous in my opinion.

Yeah that’s the right thing to do. I also wouldn’t push it if they didn’t offer.

Hold on tightly, let go lightly

[G'ed]

I’m more worried about the movement. And I will find a new friend

Wow is that you!! Iam a follower and always was fascinated about your pics. Sorry man hope it ends up well

[sechsgang]

This is one of those times having Jeweler's Mutual would have helped, and why I spend what I do to insure my watches...more of a peace of mind thing at the end of the day vs overall value but hey.

Yes, I do exactly that. I simply say that I don’t take it off or let anyone touch my watches.

I don’t want to handle other people’s watches either, and usually implore them to leave their watches on when they start unfastening clasps to give me an unsolicited look-see...

So, is that a common occurence then, people taking their watches off to show you?

When people know you're a watch person and they've bought something new actually yea...lol.

[antbkny]

Not a big deal, I’d live with it. A “repaired” case would bother me.
Alternatively, you could flip it and get a new one. Then put it in a safe and keep it away from danger! Lol

[r8t3d_M]

Ouch! I'd be pretty upset. Hope you're able to get this fixed

[ezinhk]

can’t you just replace the part that holds the pusher since there are 2 screws.

the scratch on the lugs is minor - can be buffed.

[Johndong888]

Oh man. My daughter at 2 yo dropped my ap 42 rg right on the tile. Smushed the corner (by the 10 marker). It’s now a characteristic of the watch lol. It’s going to her anyways...

But in case I throw her away, let me know how the repair turns out.

Ouch. That looks like a no questions asked bezel replacement to me. Depends on whether AP service center enforced a servicing in there, you should be looking at replacing the whole bezel. Tell your daughter that money’s coming out of her future paychecks

[Bryan23N]

Anyway, update guys. APSC has gotten back. It is possible to replace the chrono pusher guards, and that isn’t going to be too costly. So, the outcome’s better than I expected. Just waiting news to see if it’s possible to avoid replacing the pushers itself, and the pusher guards only. Either way, it’s not a full case replacement! Not exactly the best news, but at least it’s a problem that can be solved with money. Will update again on the final word by AP guys! In the meantime, enjoy your watches and let’s all be grateful for our watches and life!

[conkers]

I reckon they will quote about SGD1500. Hopefully they won’t insist a service is also carried out. Sorry to see this. I would go nuts!

[rcwatches]

Ah that ls annoying!

Given the current condition of the watch, what “best news” were you hoping for?

Close! They quoted me 1.7k SG for replacement of the chrono guards. Of course, I’m asking them if that’s the only thing I need replaced and waiting to hear from them. Otherwise, the pusher will be included which pushes up the price.

The possibility of laser welding and adding material to the dent instead of replacement.
