Unfortunately dropped my blnr tonight. I may just live with this as it’s not too nasty, but if I decide to have it repaired what would be the recommendation for a repair and is it repairable? 11:00 lug dinged by the travertine floor. See the pics. Thanks, look forward to responses from those with experience.

No big deal to me, I'd just live with it.

watchmework · 16 June 2019, 11:21 AM

It's repairable but I would just leave it...plus it's on the underside so you shouldn't really see it.

Lemonvr6 · 16 June 2019, 11:23 AM

I don’t ever suggest living with it

But I’d live with it

I would definately live with it until it came time to service it.
Then decide what to do about that most insignificant ding if it's still buging me.

Fmnunes2803 · 16 June 2019, 11:56 AM

It sucks. I also dropped my 3 day old 116710LN on the tile floor and put a small ding on the lug similar to yours. With the miracles of laser welding these days, pretty much any dent or ding can be fixed. I have decided not to fix mine, at least not now...

Bladeshot · 16 June 2019, 01:31 PM

Been there; done that (damage). Don’t fix it. It’s on the bottom and the only one who knows it is there is you.

If you can’t live with it, LAWW is the way to go. I’ve used them and recommend highly. Hang loose. Don’t fix it for 6 months and see how you feel then.

blue lion · 16 June 2019, 01:40 PM

Part of owning any product. No big deal.
But if you have to get it repaired go with Rik at Time Care Inc.

RJRJRJ · 16 June 2019, 02:03 PM

I'd leave it as is. To answer you question, LAWW. I don't think RSC will work on that.

Ouch! That’s not just some scratch or minor ding! Honestly that would bother me too. As someone has suggested, try holding out on fixing it for a while especially if it’s a watch you intend to keep. No one else will notice but you. If it bothers you after some time has passed then send it in. Best of luck to you.

1mlee0916 · 16 June 2019, 04:01 PM

Wear it for 3 months and decide. I guarantee you won’t even be bothered by it.

Many more to come...

Like you said, it's not too nasty, let it be and comes service time don't let the RSC touch it. They will grind way too much off the lug

Ricky Rolex · 16 June 2019, 05:31 PM

Very minimal and on the underside.

She's good to go.

Chevelle007 · 16 June 2019, 07:50 PM

I would try and live with it. They may do more damage in the repair process.

DLRIDES · 16 June 2019, 08:32 PM

If you absolutely can’t live with it, LAWW, Rolliworks, or Rick. RSC will grind it until the dent is gone, ruining the case.

1William · 16 June 2019, 10:27 PM

Wear it and get the information from the vendors who can fix it. When you have all the information then decide if you can live with it or want to spend the money getting it fixed. I would be inclined to get it fixed if the price was not unreasonable.

Paul7 · 16 June 2019, 11:29 PM

Don't forget Rolliworks.

GsurgBM · 16 June 2019, 11:31 PM

I’d leave it alone. But if you have to fix it, LAWW. My experience with them was fabulous.

Really sorry to hear that you dropped it. However, I’m really struggling to see what the issue is? It just looks like the corner of the lug is a little rounded off. You could live with that, plus it’s on the underside. Furthermore, after several more months of wear, you will have picked up some more minor scratches/ dings that you will have forgotten about it.

Think that’s good advice. Thanks!

Locust · 17 June 2019, 01:15 AM

Appreciate the replies. Everyone. Will sleep on it for a few months.

Louribal · 17 June 2019, 01:17 AM

Just leave it and enjoy it!

SearChart · 17 June 2019, 01:46 AM

Leave it and have it fixed when you service it in a few years time.

Exactly.

If you are going to become obsessed with every little ding and scratch, you will go insane. In that case, watch ownership is not your cup of tea.

Can you even see it when it’s on your wrist?
