Battle scar and a story to tell the chums, maybe not to the gf or wife.

Next time stay off the pole and work on your twerk moves instead!

Laser weld shouldn't be that expensive. I had a small ding on my AP RO and they did it for very little.

I'm surprised Rolex doesn't do repairs like that. It's good to hear that there are some good independents out there.

Go back to the stripper pole & ding the other side. Then you've got matching edges & your at a strip bar, win win 👍🏻😂.

If it cost 200 to laser weld it's a cheap repair. However that story is worth a life time of tells

Thank you all for the replies. Its making me laugh at the responses.
But sometimes I do look at the watch and think that it shouldn't really be there.
Is there a way I can highlight this Thread to Rikki so he can review the photos?
or do I need to message him?

In conclusion... Rolexes are safe in swimming pools, showers, oceans, camping, skydiving, etc. etc. But strip clubs are not safe for Rolexes. Noted.

I don't think it is that bad. If it were mine, I would get out the dremel and polish it.

How appropriate that you're from Atlanta. ATL is the strip club capital of the world!

Call him. Time Care Inc.
He can most likely laser weld that and do a great job fixing it. You can probably text him the pic.
