Was working on sizing the bracelet on my 3 days old GMT 116710LN. I left the watch on top of the kitchen table and went upstairs to get the extra link. When I was coming down the stairs I heard a loud bang. I go to the kitchen and found the GMT laying face down on my tile floor.

Some how my dog “the little devil” managed to climb on the chair and pull the towel where the watch was on. It took me less then 1 minute to go up and down.

The dent is on the bottom of the top right lug. Not really noticeable. But unfortunately is there.

Not planing on doing anything right now as I see it as a battle scar. I’m just going to wear the hell of it and enjoy. The first dent you never forget...ahah

The little Devil “Chico”...ahah

Cheers to Dents...

Oof. That stinks. At least the crystal didn’t crack! And your dog is too cute to be mad at for long.

RHIII · 5 May 2019, 10:44 AM

That dog is too cute to make it even matter.

My Coco - scratched a cpl clasps over the years. When we lost her this past January - it made those scratches priceless to me.

Sorry!! I have the same exact dent in the same place in my Rolex SubC, but I never notice.

easterbunny · 5 May 2019, 10:46 AM

yea. im with rh3. that is a super cute dog and a memory that will forever accompany the watch.

Blicky41 · 5 May 2019, 10:46 AM

that doesn't look half bad! could have gone a lot worse with that crystal hitting the floor. enjoy the watch

Al1969 · 5 May 2019, 10:53 AM

Time to get a new dog.

Barely noticeable. Enjoy your cold beverage

bfinta · 5 May 2019, 10:55 AM

I too recently dinged my lug on my new gmt, though unlike you, i have no clue how it happened

GradyPhilpott · 5 May 2019, 10:56 AM

Well, at least, he didn't eat it.

904VT · 5 May 2019, 10:57 AM

Lol that little guy. Awesome watch. It's just something to remember at this point. Sometimes things happen out of your control, but could be worse

Nothingfancy01 · 5 May 2019, 11:02 AM

What dent? Wear in good health!!

Barely noticeable! Enjoy it, it is a gorgeous GMT.

Odie-r · 5 May 2019, 11:15 AM

Gotta love dogs. I have 2 and they're always a handful, but they pay me back with love, so we're even.

vicsdca · 5 May 2019, 11:23 AM

It could have been worse. At least it's not a dent you'll notice while wearing the watch.

lamnyc · 5 May 2019, 11:24 AM

Its not too bad. You will always think of your pup while you are wearing it. I wouldn’t even think about polishing it out. Enjoy.

Fatso · 5 May 2019, 11:30 AM

My mother wore my cali dial Tudor for years and somehow managed to chip the crystal. Now that she's gone I always laugh when I wear the watch and wonder how she did it. I'll never replace the crystal.

When your pooch is long gone you'll be happy he dented that lug.

I hope you whipped that dog within an inch of it's life

watchmework · 5 May 2019, 11:41 AM

That's a bummer but it really could have been much worse.

Gary G · 5 May 2019, 11:47 AM

I like it...reminds you of the time the little devilish behaved!

RickR · 5 May 2019, 11:52 AM

Dogs are over rated.

kilyung · 5 May 2019, 11:53 AM

Should be able to laser weld to build up metal then reform to shape.

Bladeshot · 5 May 2019, 11:59 AM

Best dent story I’ve heard. A wonderful companion made the memory. No one will ever see it. In 7-8 years you can have it fixed (laser welded), or not.

Enjoy your GMT. That’s my favorite complication ~ you chose wisely!

Cheers

1665fan · 5 May 2019, 12:56 PM

Lol u got lucky another guy had his dog take his watch in the driveway and then his wife ran over it with her car lol.....consider yourself lucky!!! Lol

That miscreant is thinking; "I don't care about the stupid shiny thing, it didn't taste good, give me a treat."

ppalasthira · 5 May 2019, 01:49 PM

Just saw a dent like that around here recently.

From what I can remember, it got laser welded.

Exactly. You’ll never want to fix that ding once your friend passes. The first ding is the worst, but yours is a real, concrete memory.

junamuan · 5 May 2019, 02:40 PM

I like your attitude. Don't sweat it out. Just enjoy it.
